Spectacular postcard issued circa 1907 to celebrate the three-time champion Baltimore Orioles of 1894 1895 and 1896. The photo is a well-known team image taken by John Betz depicting the Temple Cup-winning 1896 team. Multiple Hall of Famers are present in the photo including Hugh Jennings Ned Hanlon Willie Keeler Joe Kelley John McGraw and Wilbert Robinson. The photo is surrounded by a yellow-and-black border along with some small red accents creating quite an interesting design motif. Postally used in 1907 the card has been graded FAIR 1.5 by SGC due to the signs of use as well as some light smudging across the surface. A seldom-seen card an early tribute to the great 19th Century Orioles teams.
