Al, that is gorgeous. Please tell us more about it: year, type, where you got it, etc. As a postcard collector, i love it, but add to the fact that I am of Cuban descent, and I am captivated by it.

Happy, yet sad, because the hunt is over.

If I am reading this right, you had your avatar pic first then found the card sometime later?

If that's the the way it is, that is a very cool story, imo.

Here's a recent pickup for me----
In handwritten cursive on the sidebar----"Do you recognize the catcher"
Also, a hand painted addition of a flask (or whiskey bottle?) in the back pocket of catcher + a tipsy chair

That's correct.

I used that postcard as my avatar for a few years now, but didn't actually own one. Finally found one this year. Now the hunt continues for the second version.
