Exceptional postcard from the Hotel Havlin in Cincinnati written and signed by the great Honus Wagner on October 2 of 1916. 1916 was Wagner's next-to-last season in baseball and his 42-year-old body slowing down. He finished the season with a .287 batting average and just 39 RBI in 432 at bats. October 1 was the final game of the season for the Pirates a 4-0 loss that capped an 8-game losing streak that cemented the Pirates in 6th place in the National League. Wagner went 1-for-4 in that game and the season over set about the business of catching up on some correspondence and beginning what would be his final offseason as a player. This postcard was written to Harry Prevost of Harrisburg Pennsylvania. Prevost was a good friend to Wagner and to Ty Cobb as well and the hobby has seen more than a few pieces of letters written by both players to him. Prevost used his friendships with the players to recommend amateur and semipro players to both. This postcard ostensibly sent from the Hotel Havlin seems a bit humorous referring to Shakespeare: Oct 1- 16 Hello Harry. Thanks for your letter my regards to King Lear and yourself. Yours truly J.H. Wagner The postcard which has been authenticated and encapsulated by PSA is in remarkable condition given its age and that it has gone through the postal stream back in 1916. Edge wear and moderate toning is present along with corner wear and some creasing along the bottom-right corner. Still the postcard is easily legible and Wagner's signature at the bottom of the postcard is clear and elegant (as is the rest of Wagner's handwriting applied with fountain pen).
