COMMENTS / CONDITION: Offered is an approximately 3-1/2"x5-1/2" real photo postcard of Joe Kuhel, pictured in his Chicago White Sox uniform circa 1939. The original photo was taken by George Burke in 1939, but this card was produced some time later (no earlier than the 1950's judging by the standard Kodak back). Comes from a large collection of such postcards that we will be listing over the coming months, all having standard postcard backs but being postally unused. Wear on these, if any, is mostly confined to minor corner and edge wear, but see scans for further details including condition. We do not deal in stock images or modern reprints, and all scans shown are of the actual item being sold. If you have any questions about a particular piece, please ask before the auction ends.

BIO: Joseph Anthony Kuhel was born in Cleveland, OH and died in 984 in Kansas City, KS. He played major league baseball from 930 to 947 as st baseman for the Washington Senators and the Chicago White Sox, and appeared in the 933 World Series. Kuhel was the best defensive first baseman in the American League during the 930s, but also was an inconsistent player who struggled with injuries most of his career. Hampered by playing in Griffith Stadium most of his career, his power numbers were never as good as they may have been in a less unpleasant hitters park.
