I am glad to see a postmarked copy of this as it does clearly establish the year of issue consistent with the "1911 Champions" caption. What is fascinating though is that either the printer was prescient or "Champions" must refer to the American League Champions as the postmark is October 25th but the A's didn't win the World Series until the 26th. My guess, and only a guess, is the A.L. Champions scenario is the reference in the caption and that postcards were sold at Shibe Park during the World Series, thus the very limited quantities of this postcard existent today.
