Wow, this is awesome! I really appreciate it. I had no idea there were so many! I've seen images of only maybe 13-14 or so.

Yours is PRE 81, the second one on the list. A lot of these are the same image, just with slightly different captions, publishers, etc. Yours is one of the few to come in only one variant.

I appreciate it. Do you have photos of many of the postcards off that list? Tough to make out what ones are which but I am shocked there are so many different ones, forgetting the many slight variations. That is a great list. I really appreciate it.

Check out Jim Chapman's Site, he some additional views posted of West Side and other dead ball era ballparks.

Wow, these are really great! Totally awesome. I appreciate it!! Wonder if we couldnt get all of them, minute the many small variations, in one place.

Any new ones pop up lately? I love these!

Very cool postcards shown here.

I thought it would be alright to post this here, I did a blog post about the West Side Grounds a couple years ago as I use an image of the ballpark as the header for my blog and thought some might enjoy it. Also a shameless plug for my meager and poorly written blog. Here is the link. https://forloveofthecards.blogspot.c...ball-park.html There are a couple nice images of the park included.
