The first is a Roth and Langley postcard, copyright 1910, with a divided back and postmarked July 9th, 1910, with a one-cent Benjamin Franklin stamp. It was mailed to a "Miss Lizzie" in Ionia, Michigan.
The obverse is an image of two lovely women, each standing on a short bench and straddling a fence, with the depiction at the bottom of the postcard, "Over The Fence Is Out". Three pieces of equipment are in the image, a baseball bat, catcher's mask and glove.
There is a crease on the obverse that can be seen on the reverse of the postcard as well, surface stains, and the corners are soft.
The second is a Colonial Art Publishing Company postcard, copyright 1910, published by F. G. Henry & Co., Inc., New York with a divided back and postmarked April 4th, 1911, with a one-cent Benjamin Franklin stamp. It was postmarked in Bay City, Michigan with a message from "Nell"  and mailed to Miss Mary Beech on West Jefferson Avenue in Detroit, Michigan.
The obverse is a smiling right-handed gent in a baseball costume, ball in glove, smiling at the woman he has "caught" in his right arm; she appears to be wearing a baseball costume as well. Below the image is the depiction, "Catching a hot one".
Soft corners, please look at the photos for the condition.
The third is a Colonial Art Publishing Company postcard, copyright 1911, published by F.G. Henry & Co., Inc., with a divided back and postmarked September 6th, 1991, with a one-cent Benjamin Franklin stamp. It was postmarked in Fort Wayne, Indiana and mailed to a recipient in Michigan.
