Has anyone seen this 1911 Philadelphia Athletics postcard before, or is it truly unique?

It's been printed through a printing press process, it couldn't possibly be unique. Is it the only one surviving? I have no idea, but I guarantee there were many more printed initially.

Is this the one you bought? (http://www.ebay.com/itm/1911-PHILADELPHIA-ATHLETICS-CHAMPIONS-ORIGINAL-PANORAMA-POSTCARD-VERY-RARE-/141384687016?pt=Vintage_Sports_Memorabilia&hash=item20eb2f1da8&nma=true&si=u%252BGaZ9wfqwXH8hIBgJxE3ALFkws%253D&orig_cvip=true&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.l2557)

Yes that was me, and I wouldn't be surprised if the underbidders were members here. I bought it as a Bender collector, but it has piqued my interest for deadball era postcards in general.

definitely not one of a kind. other times i've seen it there is often advertising at the top. advertising for north philadelphia storage company is the one i have seen most recently.
