What year is it? It looks more like Wrigley Field to me.

Probably around 1910. The upper deck wasn't extended past the left field foul pole until about then. This is definitely West Side Grounds. That park, like Wrigley, had buildings beyond the left field wall where people would sit on the roof to watch the games. It also had buildings beyond the right field wall, but by 1910 those were mostly blocked from seeing into the park by a giant scoreboard and billboard.

The other typical circa 1910 west side cards are 10 times more common then this one. I have had this one probably 4 or 5 times over the past 25 years. Typically around a $75 to $100 card when I have sold it or seen it for sale.

Appreciate the background info! What are the other rare West Side Grounds postcards? There are the few that pop up on ebay all the time. Anything else? These two, the two versions with the crowd on the field, the one from from behind home plate, one from left field and one from right field. All are graphics. Anything else?

PS: Also, I've seen a few variations of the text on the few postcards. "West side" vs "West Side" and so on.

Default 1906 West Side Grounds
Here's how I incorporated my postcard into the context of the 1906 World Series (Cubs v White Sox)...

As far as printed cards there is a more scarce one taken from the outfield looking in towards home plate. There is also a a rare jumbo 2 foot wide printed postcard.

Aw good one! I have seen that one once. I forgot it. I know there is a photograph postcard or two of the entrance outside the stadium.

Here is the entry on West Side Grounds from the 1997 edition of Tom Crabtree's "Baseball Stadium Postcards", a pretty exhaustive list. The prices give an idea of the relative scarcity of the various cards.
