I was sniped on one of these postcards many years ago...and I thought perhaps it was a one of a kind being that it's a real photo postcard, but lo and behold a few more popped up about a year ago and I managed to snag one.

I don't think there is any way I would ever part with this item, I had wanted it ever since I first saw one and was thrilled to death a couple years ago when Lew had it For Sale on his website...
1909 Atlanta Oversized Postcard of Roy Castleton (I believe there is only one known copy, but I may be wrong, there is also a Bayless known in the set)

But once you clarified what you meant, I got it.

I have no pics to show of my P.I.T.A. cards because I have never found them!
