From one of our auctions a while back, sorry if this one was already posted.

PC792 Embossed PC's -Maker Identified!
Was doing some research this morning on bb postcards and am happy to say I think i can bring some new information to the hobby about the set discussed in this thread.
I didn't see this article by Anson Whaley from 2022 but I want to add it. You'll see Anson has captured a lot of great information about the set: https://prewarcards.com/2022/06/02/p...all-of-famers/ One of the things he says is: "We also do not know the makers of this set. A bald eagle stamp appears on the reverse of each postcard but no specific name or company is printed on either side." Today we can say that the maker of this set of 6 Post Cards is The Illustrated Postal Card Company. Please see the information below: The article and ad are from the Jan 4, 1906 Geyer's Stationer. The info on the postcard company is from this site in the link just below. Added a pic of a couple of these postcards I used to own, just for flavor - Hope this information makes a few collectors go, "oh, cool."  peter http://sentfromthepastpostcards.com/...ostal-card-co/

Incredible research, Peter!
I can't believe some of the obscure things you've been able to uncover. And this one is no exception. Now I need to pick up a few of these... gorgeous images, especially for the price. Great stuff!

I've been going crazy trying to identify the photos used for a couple of the unidentified ones. I don't know if this info will help but it's cool nonetheless!

Always special when someone is able to connect the dots with a little research. Thanks Peter for adding to the pool of knowledge that is getting deep enough to dive into head first.

Since this thread already shows the player, location, and year for that Frank Chance batting scene, it also narrows the original date down to July 16-17, 1904, as the only two games that year with Bill Carpenter behind the plate for a visiting Phillies matchup.
The last unknown would be Chicago's third base coach in the background! Anyone know who they'd use at third in those circumstances? :-)
