We here at Mastronet could not contain our latitudinal and longitudinal joy when this amazingly rare postcard recently crossed our desk. We can only imagine a young boy who in a fit of paroxysm yanked up a floorboard in his house and hid this little gem where it was forgotten for eighty years until on his deathbed, this now ninety year old man whispered his last words: "Check under the floorboards, I think I left a postcard there." (Mastronet admits this may not have actually happened but it could have). Now we offer you this lovely little prize featuring Hughie Jennings sitting on a pile of bats being pulled by a tiger( we are as baffled as you are as to why he is sitting on this pile of bats- does he have an ash fetish?) Nevertheless, now some lucky collector will have the chance to overpay for an item that comes up for sale maybe once every five to seven weeks. It's the stuff of dreams. M.B. $10
