Very rare Winthrop Moving Picture Postcard Joe McGinnity!
Lot 285. Very rare Winthrop Moving Picture Postcard Joe McGinnity! An extremely rare Thumb Movie of McGinnity is part of a post card set featuring major league baseball players, mostly New York Giants. The postcard which measures 4" x 2 1/4" and is 3/8" thick contains 24 pages which, when fanned, show a complete pitch from McGinnity. The postcard reads on the front "Iron Man McGinnity Pitcher N.Y. National League Base Ball Nine For Directions See LAST LEAF WINTHROP MOVING PICTURE POST CARD". The inside back cover has the simple directions. The Front Cover has "No. 20" indicating there were at least 20 subjects and I would guess 50-75% of them have never been seen. A Mordecai Brown was in our November 2008 auction and sold for $1,773+. The "card" is in at least very good condition. A scan of back of postcard is avilable on request.
Winning Bid $3,461.
