Polo Grounds (New York City)

Unused and from the early 1910s, if you are a serious baseball postcard collector you should want this, as it appears prominently in several reference books on the topic. That’s John McGraw in the inset. The card is not attributed to any publisher; it has index number 5632 well-hidden in black on the lower right front corner. At the time of opening, in 1912, “the largest Base Ball Park in the United States,” seating 45,000. Grade: 2

Code: 32200003
Price: $19.00

Baseball stadium (Japan)

We know it’s a baseball stadium, but that’s all we know. If you read Japanese, you will see the large purple “chop” mark on the reverse, probably telling everything. Ask us and we’ll send the scan of that. Unmailed, aged card with minor staining. Grade: 3

Code: 32200004

Ron Fairly had a distinguished baseball career as player and announcer, but he wrote a personal message and autographed this card back when he was just starting, in 1961. Not mailed, but due to the nature of the card it still rates as Grade: 1

Thanks, Ned.
