This vintage real photo postcard features a men’s Baseball team. The players are uniformed and the name of the team is the “Comets”.

This rare vintage sports advertising postcard serves as an announcement about an upcoming Lacrosse game. Dartmouth College was playing the Seventh Regiment (Army) team. The game was played in New York City’s 7th Regiment armory on March 12th, 1949. Interestingly the postcard states that the game was televised by the American Broadcasting Company (ABC). Tickets to the game were $1.20. Buying tickets for a 2024 lacrosse game will cost you $10.00. Ticket prices don’t seem to have kept up with inflation. Dartmouth fans that attended the Dartmouth games in 1949 were likely very happy. The team had a great season. Their overall record was 10-1, and they were 3-0 in their confererence. During the season they had a seven game winning streak. The 1949 Dartmouth team beat New Hampshire, Yale, Harvard, Union College, Cornell, Tufts, Hobart and Williams. Their one loss was when they played Syracuse. Dartmouth lost 17-12. SOLD

This vintage real photo postcard features four American track stars at the 1924 Olympics in Paris, France. Pictured are Jackson Scholz, Charles Paddock, Emerson Carlysle Norton, and George Hill. Jackson Scholz (1897-1986) was a sprinter. He was the first person to appear in sprint finals in three different Olympic games. He won two gold medals including one in 1924 (200m). He was depicted by actor Brad Davis in the movie “Chariots of Fire” (1981). After his retirement from track, he became a successful writer. Charles Paddock (1900-1943) fought in World War I and then ran track at USC. In the 1920 Olympics, he won a gold medal (100 m) and a silver medal (200 m). In 1924, he once again won a silver medal (200 m). Like Scholz, Paddock was also portrayed in “Chariots of Fire”. Paddock competed in the 1928 Olympics, but won no medals. After the Olympics, Paddock had management positions in Newspaper publishing. In 1926, he appeared in a silent film, “The Campus Flirt” with pretty Paramount starlet, Bebe Daniels. During World War II, Paddock died in an Alaskan plane crash with Major General William Upshur. Paddock, who was a Captain, served on the General’s staff. Paddock was inducted into track’s hall of fame in 1976. Emerson Carlysle Norton (1900-1986) competed in the decathalon. In the 1924 Olympics, he won the silver medal in that event. George Hill (1901-1992) was a sprinter and he competed in the 200 m and finished fourth. A year later, he graduated from the University of Pennsylvania with an economics degree. This postcard was published by Alfred Noyer as part of a series (No.394). SOLD

This vintage real photo postcard features a portrait of members of a baseball team. Pictured are ten uniformed players and presumably, their coach clad in a shirt and tie. The coach is holding a glass of wine or champagne. I wonder if he is celebrating a victory. Note the players equipment seen in the first row. You can see gloves, a catcher’s mit, bats, and even a baseball. This baseball team is from Tripoli, Iowa. The team members look to old to be high school players. Perhaps the team was in a semi pro league. This photo postcard was postmarked in 1912. (SOLD)
This vintage postcard features a pretty red headed woman tennis player. She is holding a racquet in one hand and a tennis ball in the other hand. Note her tennis outfit. One would have a hard time guessing that she was wearing a tennis dress, but that was typical tennis fashion during the era that this postcard was published. The message on the postcard is in Spanish and from Pepita to Antonia. The message was written in 1920. I have made an attempt to translate it. The message appears to state, “everyone wishes you a sea of happiness”. This postcard was published by P.C. Paris and the card is in good condition (see scans).
