This postcard of Goose Tatum of the Indianapolis Clowns just arrived from Lelands. It appears to be from a set of postcards issued by the Clowns in the 40s or 50s. Can any of you confirm that this is the case? Have any of you seen any postcards from this set before? I had thought there were no card sets of Negro Leaguers with their U.S. teams. (I'm not trying to start a debate about that twice-signed real photo postcard of Josh Gibson.)

Also, if you look at the back, you'll see an offer for 8x10 photos of the Clowns' players. Have any of you seen one of those?

I'd really like to pin down the date of the postcard. Please let me know if you have any information on exactly when Tatum played for the Clowns. Thanks.
