Wow, for a moment I thought I hit a grand slam. [View all]

I have a ton of post cards I bought years ago. Every so often I'll dig out a box full and sell at the mall. Yesterday I found a baseball player real photo card. GF googled it and the first one that came up was a 1909 baseball card of this guy that sold for over a quarter million. This one was a little earlier, a 1907.

Oh well, that one that sold was a real baseball card and not a post card. Then, this one is not perfect either, one crease on the left side. Found a few post cards with Carl Lundgren a pitcher for the Cubs going for about $150, but not this one. Have to put it on eBay and will be thrilled with $50. But for that one moment....

Found the one I was looking for. It's a photo of a festival in Ohio from the early 1900s of an elephant walking across main street on a tight rope. Looks like a real scene and I don't think they had photo shop back then. Have no idea what it is worth, so it'll go for sale on line too.

Also found another baseball post card. No info on the back, but it's a picture of two players and the team name on their shirts is Shamrocks.
