In recent years early baseball postcards featuring Major League teams have become incredibly desirable, with those featuring Hall of Famers even more so.  This postcard from 1907 features Hall of Famers Sam Crawford, Hugh Jennings, and an extremely young Ty Cobb.  While this image was reproduced in numerous postcards in printed form, the real-photo version is held in higher regard by most collectors.  This example has been graded FAIR 1.5 by SGC, but the grade is the result of writing and postal use on the reverse, the postcard mailed in October of 1907.  Some overall wear is visible as well, in the form of edge chipping, corner wear, and some stray chips and minor creases.  Still a very desirable postcard.
