If anyone has images of either of these two teams that I could use in an article, I would be eternally grateful, and would certainly credit you. Also would be interested in possibly purchasing.

Tougher request: also need images of the 'College Bloomers' - I know there's a postcard of the team, but the only one I was able to locate, the owner would not send a picture.

I think that this one originally sold in a Hake's auction. What a phenomenal postcard.

Yep, a great team and a photo deserving of a hefty price-tag. I'm lucky enough to have a 1909 ticket book, for a stadium where they played a few games against the Cubans that year. Boy would it look nice framed with this postcard!

Very cool photo of one of the coolest of any Negro teams from that era. Unfortunately, I need the 1911 team, quite different after the Leland/Foster split.
