I thought someone might pick up a deal with the incorrect listing and description. Then it was started and hovered between $100 and $350 for several days and I began to think someone might pick up a steal. $4k is amazing. Am I correct (my negro leagues knowledge is not very strong) in believing this predates Martin Dihigo's generally accepted RC? The 1927-28 Mallorquina is considered his RC, but I think this is from 1925-1927 as Mike Herrera would be present in a 1928 photo. (Also am I correct ID'ing the second from the right on the back row as Dihigo? - Like I said, not very knowledgeable.) Other I think I identified are:

Isadro Fabre - Bottom Far Left

and

Top L/R: ?? – Juanelo Mirabal - ?? - ?? – Jose Maria Fernandez – Bernardo Baro – Martin Dihigo – Oscar Levis

I saw it the first day it was posted, nearly freaked out when I saw $100 thinking it was a buy it now. Realized it was an auction and knew it was going to get expensive. Wasn't thinking 4K expensive though! Congrats to the winner, great PC!

It's a great postcard but what makes it special is it's from Martin Dihigo's first couple of years of playing professional ball.
I am not 100% on exact year but my guess is 1923 by looking at the rest of the team, which makes Dihigo 18-19 years old. His first year was 1922.

The 3rd guy from the top left is not a superstar pitcher, it's actually Champeon Mesa.
Some other notables on the photo; superstar Alejandro Oms, Fabre, Baro, Levis, Mirabal, Fernandez among others.

Fantastic postcard, congrats goes out to the winner.

Steve

No Tom, Oms is the one standing in the middle with his arms around Pablo Mesa and JM Fernandez.

I've never seen a photo where Oms is smiling and this one is no different.

That would have been my next guess. He is younger here than most of the images I have seen....his face doesn't look as weathered and drawn as I remember. I figured the guy seated with the blurred face was a more likely candidate.

I'll stay out of this one at this point, but I thought the undivided back dated this to pre-1910.

Back was divided with correspondence on one side and address on the other. It would only have address if undivided.

Bottom left is without a doubt Isidro Fabre so the image has to be 1921 at it's earliest IMO.
