Extremely rare and early 1939 real photo postcard of the Alijadores Tampico baseball team in uniform and posing at the ballpark issued by Argentinos Cigars and XEFW Radio (genuine advertising card). While this is a special piece of early Negro League history in its own right, it is of extra importance by the inclusion of young Hall of Famer James "Cool Papa" Bell. A bona fide baseball card, this is one of his earliest and best that exists in the world! Photo also includes Chet Brewer, Chile Gomez, Ed Porter, Angel Castro, Thomas Young, Ismael Montalbo, Jesus Valenzuela, Hector Leal, Leonardo Alanis, Alfonso Nieto and others. Ready for grading, this is one of the best Negro League baseball cards we have ever offered!
