I double checked and "linen" (I keep putting that in quotes because that is what they are called in postcard circles, but they are not acutally linen of course) postcards can NOT be RPPC's. I didn't think so but had to look it up to be sure. There's no way to develop a photo on that stock. They are normal printed postcards.
That doesn't mean it's not crazy rare and valuable, but it ain't a photo of any kind. I ascribe a ton of that value to the beautiful signature. Then add in that it's on a rare "pre-rookie" postcard and voila.
I also find it hilarious that someone put it into that photo frame from Lebanon, PA. What earthly sense that makes is beyond me.
