That tall, lanky kid at the center of the back row would find his way into Cooperstown thirty-six years later, after a career that was over twenty years old before he even hit the Majors. This team was certainly one of the most notable, the famed Bismarck squad that featured an inte-grated line-up a dozen years before Robinson hit Ebbets. Remarkable collectible derives from the estate of another Negro League HOF'er, the beloved Cool Papa Bell. His name is legible in faded pencil on verso, and closing line of text reads, "Regards to all, Toadalo and Satchell." Postmark is from Kansas City, 1935. Minor back damage from having been removed from a scrapbook. Card is technically VG+, with much better appearance.
