Identified only by a dollar sign inside a shield on the card reverse these scarce postcards contain images of members of the Chicago Cubs and White Sox. Though the Standard Catalog indicates that the manufacturer of these postcards is unknown astute postcard collector Jeff Prizner within hours of these cards being listed in the auction preview had identified the manufacturer as the Suhling Company of Chicago. Suhling later the Suhling & Kohn Company of Chicago was a publisher of regional postcards baseball cards and holiday cards between 1904 and 1912. They produced several well-known White Sox and Cubs team postcards but it was the dollar and shield back design that Mr. Prizner recognized from some of the Suhling Company's non-sports postcards. Within this issue 20 cards are known (11 Cubs 9 White Sox) all particularly scarce featuring a black and white player image with hand-lettered player name and team information at the bottom of the card. The Standard Catalog theorizes that the 20-card checklist is not complete and that additional examples will materialize from this set. These cards all in fair condition with writing on the reverse depict Jack Pfiester of the Cubs and Jiggs Donohue and Frank Isbell of the White Sox. A very scarce group of postcards.
