If he played at the major league level, even a single appearance in a regular-season or playoff game (spring training and minor league games aren’t included), he should have a page in [Baseball Reference](https://www.baseball-reference.com/). But, now, I’m contributing to pulling the postcard discussion off course, so my apologies. 🙂 ---

I found him listed in the minors for 1929-31. I also found me. Apparently, I played second base for a small college five years ago. Not bad for someone who has the eye-hand coordination of a blind amputee. Anyhow, my second batch is in the mailbox now. ---

I don’t see anything wrong with it, though it is a bit of an imposition to have the recipient send it back to you. But seriously… I don’t think there’s anything wrong with giving all your recipients a copy of the same postcard. ---

Well if “everybody” got the same NSFW card, that is outside the parameters. But sending cards with the same pastoral image to all in your group, fair squeeze. If it was the same card, sent to the same person, over multiple PCEs, in consecutive years you might be stretching the limits, but not breaking any rule. IMHO ---

All sent. However could not find any anywhere and couldnt afford to order any so boring post office ones were sent. As soon as I can get good ones, they will be sent. ---

I sent out postcards that I found while digging through my old stationery. I tried to buy some at our local Hallmark and at our post office but neither place had any. I even went to a touristy place near Morgantown but their postcards are on backorder. At least the post office had some pretty stamps.
