Significant, vintage Negro League Baseball memorabilia is on the upswing all the way around, thanks in no small part to the recent auctioning of the Richard Merkin collection through Hake's over the past three years. I don't think you'll see those postcards going for under $100 on e-bay (or anywhere else) any more unless the seller butchers the listing (misspellings/wrong category/etc). That being said, Goodwin ALWAYS gets very high prices and the e-bay seller of this example of the postcard (along with many others) is probably about the equivalent of Henry Yee selling baseball photos on e-bay, minus the consignment part of it. Dan Yaw is very highly regarded in the vintage baseball postcard market.
