Very cool. I like the postcard a lot. Neat early image of Alston. There are only a handful of images of Alston in his St. Louis uniform. I believe any postcard with a Kodak ("Place Stamp Here") back was produced in the 1950s or beyond based on playle. It looks like a George Burke image from 1936 that was later put onto a Kodak- back postcard by George Brace (likely in the 50s-60s). You will see many Kodak-backed postcards with the signature blue writing on the back that identifies the player (I believe that is Brace's writing).
A few good references:
