The Booty Butt Cake Pan is a classic. First time I have seen one of those and I have seen a lot. |

I don't know about the authenticity of the piece without having it in hand, but it definitely pictures the Chicago American Giants with Rube Foster holding the catcher's mitt in street clothes. |

I absolutely agree on the answers the seller gave. Personally, I wouldn't bid on something if I got those answers to my questions.....too much of a headache....best regards |

"AZO 4 triangles up" style postcards dates to 1904-18 era. So if its a fake which I dont think so, they used the right back for that type of real photo postcard. |

Just a guess on my part, but I say bogus. The dimensions of the front and back of this "postcard" simply do not match, even when given an allowance for cropping. |

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. |

My first reaction upon getting the seller to upload a scan of the postcard back was that the back looked right for the era depicted but the front, especially the corners and edges looked way too perfect for a postcard that was 80-90 years old unless the scan cut off part of the edges of the postcard. I have handled several old baseball postcards from this era and VG-EX is usually about the best condition that you find them. I think a real postcard back may have been paired with a fake front photo. |

100 year old real photo postcards can be found in near mint condition. This one was even mailed. The seller I bought this from had a duplicate of this same card that was not mailed and it was even better than this one with 4 sharp corners. Just depends on how they were stored and for how long. |
