I recently wrote abut the three Topps Premier Lacrosse League sets. While some fantastic cards resulted from these sets, a lot of collector frustration came about as well.

I've had this postcard for a while, but just recently picked up the trading card. The postcard shows the 1908 New Westminster Salmonbellies, the first ‘Bellies team to win a Minto Cup, and the last amateur team to do so prior to the Mann Cup coming to fruition.
Another neat thing about this card is the message written on the back. It appears to have been written by George Rennie, the player on the trading card. He won a gold medal as a member of the 1908 Canadian Olympic lacrosse team. He was also a charter member of the Canadian Lacrosse Hall of Fame. He and his brother, Tom, are both pictured on the postcard. His message on the back reads as follows:
Sapperton, December 7, 1908
Dear Auntie,
Arrived home OK and found everybody well. This is a postcard of our team. Tom is on the end in the second row. Hoping that you are well.
Geo.

Here is my latest piece for Lacrosse Culture Daily. Many of the greatest cards in the lacrosse genre are team or league issues. I offer a run-down here:

The first lacrosse card ever produced is roughly postcard-sized and was issued in 1878. It is part of a 12-card multi-sport set that was issued by Huntley & Palmer's, a European biscuit company.

When I walk into a card shop and inquire about lacrosse cards, I know there is a strong chance the shop owner will tell me that they don't exist. It has happened many times already. The truth is that the first lacrosse card was released in 1878 and new cards have been issued sporadically over the following 140+ years.

As there was previously no dedicated source for lacrosse card information, another collector and I pooled our knowledge (and card images) and I assembled the Lacrosse Card Archive. The site is not yet comprehensive as we continue to learn about cards issued as giveaways at games and as promotional items at special events, but this is the most comprehensive source of lacrosse card info that currently exists. Take a look, enjoy and feel free to reach out with any questions!
