You are correct about the postcard back stamp box. I recognized that and actually it was the main reason that I seriously considered bidding despite some concerns about making a major purchase from someone who did not appear to have dealt in vintage baseball/post cards on ebay before. After doing some research, I found that most all of the other Negro League team postcards from the 1920's - 1930's era all indicated the team name and/or year and/or printing company (2004 REA Auction had several). The postcard in this auction just had a full bleed photo with no identification.

Anyway, I tried to place a bid in the last few seconds and my computer got hung up and the auction ended before my bid went through. I'm sure this type of thing has happened to everyone at one time or another but it remains a very frustrating experience nonetheless.
