This is a really awesome thread! I am still working my way through it but wanted to give kudos to you guys. I am beginning to be drawn to collecting a few of these as well. It's the images themselves, the visual appeal, the moment in time that I am finding myself drawn to. Sometimes the lithography of cards of the prewar era just doesn't offer the image that a postcard offers.
I have drifted all over the place during my collecting life---cards (sets then just singles), photos, prewar, postwar...I have even been buying modern cards lately! While I am a fan of particular players/teams, I find I am really liking prewar postcards featuring old major league ballparks and the surrounding buildings/skyline that can be seen nearby. As a card collector, I didn't like team cards, but I like them when it comes to postcards, especially noteworthy teams. One postcard offers a nice picture of multiple HOFers. I am baffled that the collecting of these isn't more widespread than it is.
