I really look at it this way when collecting early postcards, does the card have good eye appeal. Writing does not bother me too much and having the stamp is fine which helps date the postcard as well. If there is writing all over front and back, then I start to say may not want that at all. There are several issues, some of the higher end baseball ones that are most likely better with no stamp or writing if you will be grading them. The 1925-29 Exhibit Postcards are a good example! Good luck collecting!
