In 1910 the Chicago White Sox team took a train to Spring training, passing thru the Royal Gorge on February 27, 1910 when this classic image was taken. This oversize postcard measuring 6 1/2" x 5 1/2" was included in a "Ten Pictorial Post Cards" packet published by The Inter-State Co. entitled "Through The Royal Gorge", which included nine other shots of various landmarks and views from the Royal Gorge in addition to the Chicago White Sox team shot. The offered piece is postally unused, not creased and has not ink or tape. It is housed in an SGC 35 holder, but appears much nicer than the technical grade and could be easily taken out of the holder, should the winning bidder desire to. The image is crisp, fresh and colorful. While not rare, the oversize postcard is fairly scarce and always a hit with White Sox collectors.
