Joe D.I can say the White Sox one (09) was a Real Photo Postcard (RPPC) - the 06 one is a printed postcard.
A RPPC is so much nicer than a printed one. It is an actual photograph developed on postcard paper.
Beyond being much nicer, I have to assume that RPPCs were not produced in anywhere near the same quantity as a printed postcards. Printing press runs are made to do large quantities.
So when you have a cool looking team postcard that is a RPPC - you've hit the jackpot IMO.
What makes a card 'cool looking' is completely subjective - and I will say on some occasions - some pretty cool postcards only come in the 'printed postcard' version (at least as far as I know). Given a choice though - for the same image on a postcard - I will take a RPPC over a printed one any day of the week (and would pay accordingly).
I suggest you go to this awesome site:

Here is my meager collection -

and if you want to see top notch collections - go to Steve M.s site or JCs site.
