Grouping of five real photo postcards each picturing game action. Action images from the turn of the century are tougher to come by; the slow speed of the era's cameras coupled with the much faster speed of the game made photography a difficult proposition. Two of the cards are identified (One Oberlin vs. Case game at the Dill Athletic Field in Oberlin the other identified as "Beatrice vs. Lawrence Kas"). Both of those postcards have writing on the reverse the Oberlin card postally used. The three remaining cards feature imagery of unidentified game play no postal use to provide hints on where the games may have occurred. Each postcard is well-worn condition G-VG without regard to the writing. Five cards total.
