Great piece. I think it being from the team also adds to the value. I know it would for me. But mostly because it is such a striking image. Spirited bidding throughout the day yesterday with more than a couple people interested. Also a well known and respected seller. And as we say, "when are you going to see another?"

There is a thread about postcards on the NET54 site. This postcard was posted by GREENMONSTER in January 2013, post 54 I believe.
It is titled "Lets See some Postcards." Last post 02/02/15. Joe

Very cool postcard indeed. I bid early and often on it
. Little surprised it went for more than the Pirate fold out postcard which had Wagner in it.

I'm not surprised at all. Negro League postcards have been through the roof for a few years now...and this one qualifies as one of the coolest.

I will look into Syd Pollock--since I can look out my window and see his Tarrytown, NY across the icy river...

Does that mean you were the consignor?

I believe this is what the team became after moving to Indy:

Similar, but not the same card or as nice.

Dave Barnhill, one of the top Negro League pitchers of the 1940s is probably the biggest star. I'm pretty sure that's him in the bottom right, jumping with his arms out while he screams like the Borneo Cannibal he was. There are several images of Barnhill playing for the Clowns in uniforms similar to the team photo on the card, which he is most likely in, but this would be the first image I've seen of him in the shirtless skirt uniform. (And the 1976 Chicago White Sox thought THEY had it bad)
