Richard:

I would guess somewhere around $200 - $300 each on the last two, maybe around $100 on the top one.

Richard:

I think the Marquard is American Publishing or something like that, not sure of the source for the other two.

I believe the bottom one is the 1912 Giants, despite earlier photos at the top.

I found one, in fair condition,that sold on ebay recently.
The seller called the postcard circa 1910.

I guess technically it is "circa 1910", but more specifically, the team shot is the 1912 World Series team. The photos above are from different years, I think earlier than 1912. It would make sense to issue this for the World Series, so circa 1912 not only would be more accurate, but should be be a little more valuable. I am fairly positive I once had a large mounted cabinet photo of that team shot, and that one very clearly was the 1912 team.

That bottom card is extremely rare. I've seen it only once before and that card was owned by Ron Menchine who gave it to the grandson of a friend of his.

The grandson later sold it privately at a NY postcard show for $450 around three years ago.

The one in the middle is from Max Stein's U.S. Publishing house. Here is a link to a bunch of Max Stein cards, including 2 U.S. Publishing House ones: http://www.vintageball.com/MaxStein.html.
