Collection of four postcards from the 1920-22 tours of Japan featuring American players in their tour uniforms. The unmistakeable image of Hall of Famer "Highpockets" Kelly (thus nicknamed due to his tall frame) is depicted among four players in one photo (along with Bert Griffith Riggs Stephenson and Bibb Falk) Herb Pennock appears in another with Bullet Joe Bush and Waite Hoyt. A more scarce postcard from the 1920-21 tour depicts Sammy Bohne George Ellison Frank Gay Bill Pertica and two unknown players identified as "Gay" and "Gomes" on writing that seems to appear in the negative. Postcards appear in VG/EX condition with the exception of the card depicting Luke Sewell and Luke Sewell and Fred Hofman which has both players identified with pencil writing at the top of the postcard. Four postcards total.
