Showing some vintage

This is not my card. I just saw it a while ago on another forum. It's a cool post card from the 1907-09 H. M. Donovan post card series. It just makes me laugh every time I see it.

A vintage post card from 1908. I wish the seller didn't write the price on the back of the card.

The packs are pretty Fagel and pop open very easy. The quality of the cards is pretty bad with most of the cards I've opened were off centered.

The Al Demaree Die-Cut R304 series is among the rarest of all 1930s gum issues. Thought to be complete at 168 cards (though no complete sets are known to exist), each example measure 6-1/2” high and between 1-5/8” to 1-3/4” wide. Produced by Chicago’s Dietz Gum Company, the pieces combine black-and-white photographic player headshots with cartoon body art drawn by former Major League pitcher Al Demaree. The player’s name, position, and team name are printed along the bottom, with the card number centered on a tab below that. On each card, uniform highlights and logos are accented by deep red or blue color. The cards were meant to be handled and folded to create a stand-up, resulting in virtually insurmountable condition issues and challenges.

James Francis (Shanty) Hogan played for the Boston Braves, New York Giants and Washington Senators between 1925 and 1932.

Heilbroner Baseball Bureau was a way to keep track of up and coming players of interest to major league teams. Long before the computer age simplified the process of all forms of record-keeping, personnel files required careful, hands-on management to ensure all data regarding addresses, team affiliation and the like remained valid. For decades, organized baseball maintained that adjective though the use of 3x5" index cards that were created upon the admission of a player to the professional ranks and then revisited annually to update any information that might have changed in the previous calendar year.

They are a good way to find some autographs of obscure players, as well!
