Difficult-to-locate copy of the 1906 NL Champion Chicago Cubs team as photographed by Fred H. Wagner of Chicago. The Suhling & Koehn Company of Chicago a publisher of regional postcards baseball cards and holiday cards between 1904 and 1912 produced individual team postcards of the Chicago Cubs and their crosstown rival White Sox commemorating each team's 1906 season. The two teams each of which finished in first place during the regular season squared off in the World Series with the White Sox winning in six games. This image of the 1906 Champion Cubs features the Hall of Fame infield of Tinker Evers and Chance four years prior to being immortalized in the Franklin Pierce Adams poem "Baseball's Sad Lexicon." Postally unused the postcard has been graded AUTHENTIC by SGCbut is extremely clean and presents as a VG/EX card with subtle yellow marking on the front border and two slight pencil markings on the reverse prices written by long-ago postcard dealers (or perhaps based on the prices not so long ago.
