Negro League Postcard on E-Bay

[packs]

It lists Correspondence on one side and Address on the other. If it was pre-divided it would just list Address because the correspondence would need to appear on the front of the postcard. It's just missing the line but would still be considered divided if I'm not mistaken.

Okay, thanks.

Explained perfectly Packs.

4k doesn't surprise me. How do you determine a good or fair price on something so rare and significant? We'll probably never see another.

Have to run out right now but I believe it is the 1927 Cubans team. More later......

I was bidding and had the high bid of $1,200 for awhile and was praying it would slide past the big spenders, but I was wrong. It's an absolutely amazing postcard. I narrowed the year due to being between 1923-27.

Not many images of Dihigo from that early and some other great players shown also....

If I have the Tetelo Vargas ID correct (front row, second from right) that makes this the 1927 team along with the rest of the player combos previously mentioned by Steve and others. The Cubans team from 1922 to 1927 had virtually the identical roster of star players every season so that made it very difficult to pinpoint the year on this one (if a uniform database for Negro League teams is known, that would help a lot too).

Not Tetelo. See annotated below.

Without Vargas and no Pedroso or Hooks Jiminez or Padron, now I'm thinking 1925. We know the year is '23 - '27 and the nucleus of the team was the same throughout all five seasons. Dihigo's rookie season would be nice and would make it more valuable, otherwise, I don't think it really matters that much.
