Picked up a Federal League Baltimore Terrapins Postcard with writing on the back and cancellation stamp dated 1916. I believe it's a $400-$500 item, any thoughts? Seems Baltimore is a hard federal league stadium to get, I have five Chicago Whales postcards. Pete

Most times postcards values are determined by the card aesthetics, rarity and demand. Without seeing it it's hard to say a value. Can you post a scan?

Is it a team photo postcard or a stadium postcard? Is it a printed card or a real photo card? I'd be surprised if a stadium card brought $400-$500. Without a pic of the postcard it's hard to give any opinions.

I would tend to believe it is this card as there is a similar card made of the Chicago team that the original poster alluded to. I've seen a few of each and would think $400-500 would be the upper limit or even over for these cards. Neat postcards.
