What did I miss? 1909 New Britian Perfectos Postcard
This went for about 10x what I thought it might. Was there some important player or something I missed?

I believe the ghost of Joe Jackson is sitting in the stands...or just someone creepy looking
The team had Rafael Almeida on it in 1909, one of the earliest Cuban players. Don't know if he's in the photo, but that would help the price. The 1908 and 1910 teams had Armando Marsans and Almeida, so that would definitely help Edited to add that Luis Padron was on that team at one point, so if he was in the photo, I think that would also help. He was Cuban, but he was also of African descent, so technically he was a black player in the minors. He was actually kicked off that team because he was black and other teams in the league didn't want him there. He played minor league ball for 11 years though, bouncing around a lot.
