Mixed Era Baseball Player Photo Postcards and Cards Collection (1880s-1980s) Approximately 20+ player photo cards, postcards, and promotional photos spanning over a century of baseball. Players identified include: Charles Radbourn (1880s Providence/Boston, illustrated portrait card), 1880s Boston player (bearded, illustrated), Mike Lum (Atlanta Braves), Rocky Bridges IF (Washington Senators, B&W), Ed Ott (Pittsburgh Pirates, B&W signed), Larry Demery (Pittsburgh Pirates), Eddie Stanky (signed Best Wishes), Clay Dalrymple (Baltimore Orioles, color close-up), Carl Erskine/P (Brooklyn Dodgers, blue Boys of Summer card), Don Larsen and Bob Turley (Houston, double photo), Geoff Zahn (LA Dodgers), an NY Giants player (B&W), an Indians player (color), a Twins player (color field photo), Billy Hitchcock (Braves), Butch Davis (Kansas City Royals team-issue), Mike McQueen (Atlanta Braves), Claude Osteen (LA Dodgers, B&W headshot), and an early 1900s B&W running/fielding action photo. Card backs include an Early Wynn (Cleveland Indians) stat card with red border. Condition: Varies widely given the age span. Radbourn 1880s card has rounded corners and significant age wear. Most 1960s-70s B&W photos are in fair to good condition with edge wear and light toning. Color cards are generally cleaner. Some cards have pencil writing on backs. Charles Radbourn has been dead since 1897 and yet his card is still in better shape than some of these 1970s photos. That is range. This description was generated by artificial intelligence with strong opinions about mustaches. Review every photo, decide what you are actually looking at, and remember everything sells as-is.
