I have a very eclectic collection. Cards, memorabilia, bourbon, mini-bats, baseballs, etc.

When I find something vintage, it’s always a plus. This Briggs Stadium postcard was a really cool find for $1.50.

Briggs Stadium was the former historic ballpark in Detroit, MI. Later renamed Tiger Stadium, it served as home of the Detroit Tigers from 1912 to 1999 and the Detroit Lions from 1938 to 1974.

From what little research I have done, this postcard is from 1930-1945. Unfortunately, I can’t make out the postmark on the reverse of the postcard.

Very cool pre rookie card Eddie Murray.

These are modern from the 2010s but such great images of iconic models

This postcard captures a beautiful image of HOFer Edd Roush, the best deadball centerfielder this side of Tris Speaker…

“Sure, the 1919 White Sox were good. But the 1919 Cincinnati Reds were better. We had Heinie Groh, Jake Daubert, Greasy Neale, Rube Bressler, Larry Kopf, myself, and the best pitching staff in both leagues. We were a very underrated ball club.

I’ve read where as far as the Cincinnati fans are concerned I’m the most popular player ever wore a Reds’ uniform. I don’t know about that. It’s not for me to say. But - assuming it’s true - I’ll tell you one thing: the feeling is mutual.” - Edd Roush, ‘The Glory Of Their Times’

This beautiful postcard depicts a man from another time…

“I had a spur which most baseball players do not have. The shadow of the coal mines was on me. I experienced all there was to experience and I never want to see a mine again.” - HOFer and native of NE PA, Ed Walsh, in 1913. His brother died in the mine where he worked. Walsh pitched more innings in a season (464) than anyone since 1893, and he still holds the all-time lowest career ERA (1.82).
