yep, I sold that one to you last year right at the start of COVID, if you can believe that. It feels like it was many, many years ago.
I have it listed as 1928 Block Brothers "The World's Greatest Hitter" Postcard but I had never seen another. It was in a lot of other period postcards I had purchased earlier in 2020. I believe I sold it on the Net54 BST with a whole bunch of other stuff. Anyway, love that PC. I remember Prizner being pissed that he didn't get to me before you did...which means you probably underpaid ![]()

It is a neat postcard. I am wondering why you dated it to 1928--because of the team postcard? Seems an odd time to issue a tribute or contemporary postcard for Rajah, since he had been gone after 1926. Just curious.

My impression is that the worlds greatest hitter is written on in the same ink used to color in the spots on the upper left of the front and isn't actually part of the card itself. Could be wrong though.

I thought it was longer ago. My bad on my memory LOL.... And Bryan, I thought the same thing and it very well could be handwritten on there. I put it under a loupe and they are not obvious pen marks. No indentions., Not sure... .
