I picked up these 2 RPPC Baseball Postcards at a recent auction. They were included with a batch of other postcards that I was interested in, but I do NOT collect baseball post cards.

I would like to sell them, but I don't know what a reasonable, yet fair to all parties, asking price would be.

That's where you guys come in!

Here's what I DO know...

The card of John Lutz mentions the Warren (PA?) A.C. (Athletic Club?) Ball Team on its reverse. The stamp box dates it to ~1911 if I looked that up correctly. I think that the card is trimmed.

The stamp box on the reverse of the PC of the unknown team dates it to 1904-1918. I enhanced the additional photo to show some details of the uniforms AND the doggie!

I realize that these are both local teams, probably, AND that they may not be worth much.

I would appreciate any information & offers for them that you would care to make AND I would buy anyone who offers some information a beer (or other adult libation of your choice) the next time that I see you as long as it doesn't exceed the value of the PCs! :D:D

Thanks for looking!

I collect quite a few RPPC's. Unfortunately those shown are going to have minimal value unless there is something specifically known about them that makes them more valuable. Those odds are about a thousand to one though....My guess on the 2 shown is around 10-20 bucks....total (and that might be optimistic). But that is only my guess. Others might know more. This one came in the mail yesterday, it was $22.50 delivered, which seemed about right as the uniforms are really neat and the manager has a nice hat on :).

Thanks, Leon - that's MORE info than I had. Like I said, I purchased them in a group with some other postcards that I am interested in. I will wait and see if I get any other info or offers, then I will try them on BST
