Yes, that is me with the feedback of 455, driving up the price  My intentions was to snipe it before I went to bed but thought I'd see where the highest bid topped off before doing so but I just kept getting outbid.

Well you gave it a good shot.
I don't collect Negro League items but I sure as heck collect vintage stuff that is cool and this card sure was that. My collecting goal is to have one card of each HOFer so I dug in and did some research to see if Pop Lloyd or any other early ones were in there. Many of you guys could probably tell from just a quick scan of the card!
In doing my research I got a much better appreciation on the rarity of the card and why it was so special. As I just said to my wife - I think the guys who collect negro league stuff must think of these postcards as amazing little glimpses into a world that was not chronicled or captured nearly as much as MLB - it's part of America's history as well as bb history and is just interesting.
Anyway - good stuff. sorry you didn't win it Steve.
