Re: Billy Sunday In Uniform: Postcard
Not worth much but a cool piece.
Hope you didn't pay more than $50 for it.

Re: Billy Sunday In Uniform: Postcard
This wasn't the only postcard in the ebay auction....some will go back on ebay listed as singles and some will go to a local consignment auction. I paid $67 for the lot containing 50+ RPPC's from 1908-1910...including a tri-fold panoramic postcard of Indiana, PA. After all is said and done I'm betting I make money and still have the Billy Sunday PC.

Re: Billy Sunday In Uniform: Postcard
That's pretty cool. I have about 10 Billy Sunday postcards my dad gave me in his usual preaching situations. I've never seen one with him in uniform other than the 1800's stuff.

Thanks Clint, I like that "Mother Hubbard" team postcard you posted over on Net54.

Thanks, Dan. Here's another one that I picked up at a gun show. You never know where you'll make your next score. The guys in back are wearing dresses.

Great stuff....I wonder what the deal was with wearing women's clothes to play baseball....it was pretty common for the era. I wonder why and how it got started? Someone lost a bet?

I always thought they did it as an added attraction to make money. I know that they would use the proceeds to get equipment. Maybe this was their way of getting more people to show up for the games.
