Yes, we got 'em! The legendary Dietsch Detroit Tigers 1907 postcard set (PC765-1-1), one of the 3 sets of team postcard cards issued by Detroit postcard publisher A.C. Dietsch -- the 1907 Cubs set (PC765-2) and the Tigers 1908-09 set (PC765-1-2) were the others -- contains by far the most valuable of all the Diesche cards, Ty Cobb (#1a), which in MT condition sells for upwards of $3,000. Only missing card from the full set of 16 is a two-shot of Germany Shaefer & Charles O'Leary. (There also was an alternate Cobb card, in the field instead of at bat.) Others here include Jennings, Crawford (the next highest two in value), Schaefer, O'Leary, Downs, Jones, Killian, Mullin, Payne, Rossman, Schmidt, Seaver. 3.5 x 5.5" cards average VG-EX with scattered flaws and browned edges, but these boys are a sturdy and proud bunch.
