So, I am an Antique Store junkie, but I've literally never gone through the postcard bins seriously. When I've flipped through them briefly in the past, it has always seemed to be an excess of X-Mas & Easter sappiness that I just couldn't get past.

Anyway, Sunday I was waiting to checkout with a couple of things and there were 3 boxes, neatly arranged that I decided what the hell...I was flipping through them pretty fast, basically looking for anything that was obviously baseball when the bottom of this one made me double take...

Can't seem to find anything in the way of sales...are these things pretty common or semi hard to find? Either way, I'm happy for $1

$10-$20 early Albertype postcard sold at the Hall of Fame. Uncommon, but not rare.
