I think you're correct, Bob, in saying professional grading has played a part. I also think it's pretty ironic, because a lot of postcard collectors I know don't pay much attention to the numbers on the flip. Postcards get hammered for writing on the back, but many collectors welcome correspondence on the cards, especially if it's baseball related.
I love finding great-looking postcards that are on the low end of the TPG scale.
