This is a scarce Mason Brothers / Mason Bros. / Mason Bros & Co variant of the known "Fenway Park" Red Sox Field photo that several companies printed in the 1910s. It is part of a series of sports postcards they made.

This might best be known as the "Babe Ruth rookie" postcard, but it is almost certainly NOT Babe Ruth, as research dates some post cards using this image likely before 1914. It presumably started from people without the cumulative research dating the postcard to the 1910s, and that lefty batter at the plate sure looks like Ruth, right?

But, like some other famous misc cards, again, it is almost certainly NOT Ruth.

However, this image would be capturing Fenway very early in its existence if not its "rookie" year, and the image would feature Tris Speaker, and likely one of Smoky Joe Wood and/or Eddie Ciccotte.

This particular Mason Bros printed postcard itself is dated to 1915.

This card is graded SGC 1 as it was stamped and used. It is one of just THREE total in SGC's pop report, with just one copy being above a 1.

Central image is exceptionally clean with some creasing being limited to the corners or one on bottom of image. Some corner wear/chipped off. Excellent left right centering. Nice overall eye appeal considering.

This is a historic piece of vintage card collection and lore for any advanced collector and vintage Red Sox fan.
