Decidely rare photo postcard of the 1930 Homestead Grays, taken during spring training. Includes HOFers Smokey Joe Williams (top, 4th from right), Oscar Charleston (bottom, far right), and player-manager Judy Johnson (top, 2nd from right), as well as team owner Cum Posey (top, far right). For those wondering, Josh Gibson did not join the team until late season when catcher Buck Ewing was injured. White lettering at base reads “Homestead Grays of 1930,” along with the date “3-20-30.” Credit in the lower right identifies the photographer as Harrison of Hot Springs Arkansas. From the estate of Cum Posey. Exceptional photo quality, crisp and clean. EX-MT.
