Stupid auto correct. I could not find a comparison. I know it's probably not much, but was wondering about a value.

It will not get a Burke type 1 photo classification but is a vintage postcard. Maybe worth $5

I don’t think type one real photo postcards exist. I could be wrong.

I’m not even 100 percent convinced this is a real photo postcard. The clarity is not so good by the pic. But hard to tell. Burke /brace printed in both photo and postcard format . Some of original neg and some not. Either way, not getting type 1 in postcard format.

Hey wasn’t looking for anything particular just trying to get some info on it. Im pretty good with photos but clueless when it comes to postcards. The stampings seemed legit and clarity was a 7/10 maybe?

Burke probably used a copy negative to make postcards. Which is the way to go on something more mass produced, as it saves wear on the original negative. Especially if he sent them out which might be possible as AZO made loads of photo postcards.

I get why a Burke wouldn't be a type 1 as a postcard, but overall I don't see any reason a photo postcard wouldn't be. Nearly all of the ones that weren't produced for a commercial use were made from the original negatives very soon after development. Clarity of the image doesn't indicate much for those, just like it doesn't mean much for film snapshots taken recently.
