Negro League Team/Player Identifications

Gosh, that sure looks like Oms to me. But I won't swear to it, ha! And the giant behind him does resemble Smokey Joe - particularly his stance (in the few images I've seen). Intriguing. And I believe you are definitely correct about Cool Papa Bell. I have another postcard of him, seated EXACTLY like that, and the face looks good, also. Great items! When do these come up for auction, if you know?

You're right on the money, thanks, Jason! Now that you mentioned Griffith, there is writing scribbled on the back, does say Griffith. Seamheads has him listed as 5'10", that was causing me confusion and I couldn't find Brown playing for Trujillo at any time, which is true. Any ideas on the other two p/c's?

Thanks for the input on both, Steve! I'll do some checking over the weekend on your theories there. your efforts are most appreciated.

I was counting on you two guys to help out and you came through, great!

And Ken, as far as your question on when these items might be presented for auction, the two postcards, assuming that key players identified are correct, will be catalogue auction material (next one is scheduled for July with another in November, both subject to change with the pandemic situation that is going on now) while the snapshot could wind up in a Merkin only online auction later this year.

Anything on the back of the Stars postcard?

Steve:

Just scrapbook remnants and the words post card peeking through in a couple of spots. Can’t even see a stamp box.
