Based on the back it is a pre-1907 postcard as it is undivided and the style of AZO back is consistent with that. That being said I would have a very hard time blieving this is from before 1905-1906 based on Wagners age in the photo. That does look like Butts on the far left seated (I haven't done much research into it though) so it could just be a photo of friends from their hometown or something along those lines, may not be baseball related (but it could be).

He sure had some massive shoulders....probably had to work with a good tailor to figure that suit out.......guys in the back row look familiar but so many do in those photos!

The guy on the RPPC in the back left looks like the guy on the Louisville Top 2nd from right. (Mouth open vs mouth closed, the ears look similar and the part of the hair is the same, and the face and eyes look very similar)
Where is our ear to nose expert ?

The guy back row 2nd from right in the Lou NL 1898 team photo is Nick Altrock. He does not appear on bobbvc's RPPC.
That is Butts front left on the RPPC (and Honus as well on the right). I don't recognize any of the other faces and I don't think they match any of the Lou '98 guys, but it's hard to be sure. Butts looks too old for 1898. |

I can take you right to the spot of the 1912 era photo. The wooded bank is still there in the rear parking lot of the Weyerhauser offices on Whittington Ave, in Hot Springs, Arkansas. There were several more photos taken there on what appears to be rather cold March day.

1903-1906 date is making the most sense for me at this point. I'm pretty sure, but not positive by any means,that the guy standing behind Honus is Deacon Phillippe. He's also in Tom's Louisville photo 4th from the left, Standing. I've got some other references that I may post later including 1901 Pittsburg team photo where they look a little younger but similar to the RPPC.
Thanks again for the help and keep the ideas coming, thinking of getting this graded (for protection, not #) and wanted to have as much info as possible. (yes, SGC). OK, I guess I'm posting them now.... |
