1920's St. Louis Stars Team Photo Postcard

The postcard was very well glued onto the scrapbook page so I made a decision to leave the solid black background attached to the back of the postcard rather than risk either paper loss to the postcard or spots of black paper all over the otherwise white postcard-back. That also accounts for the Authentic grade as well as the scrapbook page was trimmed down to the exact size of the postcard.

A paper conservator can probably get that scrapbook paper off with no problem...I'd want to know what's on the other side of that card.

Phil that's awesome. Fantastic pick up. I to think with just a little bit of effort the back paper could be removed if needed. Personally it wouldn't matter to me.

I prefer not to mess with it. If I choose to sell it one day, the buyer may get a little better deal because of it and I'll leave it up to them to crack it out of the SGC holder and remove the scrapbook paper if they so choose.

You won the item on Sept 6. It arrived from Illinois on Sept 9th. You brought it to SGC AND had it encapsulated on Sept 10th.

My question is how the hell did u get it encapsulated so ffffast?! Do u live next door to them? And what kind of cash did u throw at them to have them do it same day, or did u stand there as they did it? Next time bring a video recorder, I'd of like to seen this all go down so fast.
