Bought this a while back and looking to sell but have no idea of value as I got it really cheap to be honest.

It's a George Burke Lefty Gomez signed postcard. This dates 1926-40 I think it is and is not one of the later George Brace postcards.

Any help would be great so I can figure out an idea of how much to let it go for.

Thanks,
Brad

Very nice, bold vintage signature Brad. To the right person you might be able to get $75-100.

Thanks Tom! Could you assume that it might have been signed during his playing days? When did his signature change?

Gomez used the more lowercase looking "g" with his informal autographs until at least the 1960's. His more formal autograph at that time was more of a scripted capital "G", which is what his signature became for informal autographs later in life.

I definitely think yours is a playing days signature, or shortly thereafter.
