Help on any info on 1911 Highlander team postcard
 

Posted By: <b>Dave F</b><p><br />Hello guys,<br /><br />I picked this up yesterday and am trying to find some more info on it. Does anyone know if this is a catalogued postcard with associated with a PC and number identity? This is also the first i've seen this myself, maybe someone has has one or may know something on scarcity? Also, if if isn't a postcard with a designation, would SGC be able to put a numerical grade on it, or possibly just put it in an authentic slab? Any help is appreicated guys. <br /><br /><br /><a href="http://www.vintageball.com/PlayerPostcards2.html" target="_new" rel="nofollow">http://www.vintageball.com/PlayerPostcards2.html</a><br /><br /><br /><br /><img src="http://i94.photobucket.com/albums/l111/asphaltman76/highlandersf.jpg"><br />

Posted By: <b>davidcycleback</b><p>It's a scarce and desirable postcard. I've seen one or two. There was one in a MastroNet auction a good number of years ago, and I don't remember what it sold for. I don't know that its officially cataloged, but it is a hobby known issue.<br /><br />I've had an example on my site picture for several years.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.cycleback.com/alteredstates.htm" target="_new" rel="nofollow">http://www.cycleback.com/alteredstates.htm</a><br /><br />I would guess you could get PSA or SGC to grade/entomb it, as they grade uncatalogued and catalogued postcards. They would just have to be confident it's a legitimate/vintage issue. If you included a copy of the relevant MastroNet auction page with your submission, that would be proof of legitimacy enough. I know it's pictured/described in an old catalog, I'm just not sure which one.

Posted By: <b>Pat Nester</b><p>It is a scarce postcard. I have seen it probably less than 5 times. One in nice condition sold in the August 2004 Hunt auction for $350 plus premium and a lesser condition one sold in the August 2002 Hunt Auction for $250 plus premium.

Posted By: <b>Dave F</b><p><br />I found a little more on these and the other one, the A's. I think i'd buy any of these available at $250-350.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.huntauctions.com/online/imageviewer.cfm?auction_num=5&lot_num=714&lot_qual " target="_new" rel="nofollow">http://www.huntauctions.com/online/imageviewer.cfm?auction_num=5&lot_num=714&lot_qual </a><br />

Posted By: <b>Robert S</b><p>Here are two bigger scans of both Sporty Postal Card Co. postcards (NY 1911 and PHI 1910).<br /><br />Note, a version exists of the Philadelphia card w/o the Sporty credit line, issued on a different card stock. I'm unsure if a similar version exists of the NY card, as well.<br /><br /><img src="http://vintageball.com/files/Sporty_NY2.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://vintageball.com/files/Sporty_PA3.jpg">
