I believe that postcard popularity is gaining momentum. I've especially seen it in the last couple of years. I like postcards over regular cards due to lower prices, limited numbers and in many cases better subject matter. I can't find any prewar cards from Kansas but there are many postcards from Kansas. The fun for me is finding a major leaguer before he made it to the bigs or while he was barnstorming here. I believe that prices will go up if you invest in the right ones just the same as with cards. Why someone would shun them is a personal choice but they sure are giving up a great opportunity at owning some really neat cards. I just posted a postcard I recently picked up with Jim Thorpe in it. If it wasn't a postcard I wouldn't be able to afford a Jim Thorpe baseball card from his playing days.
Whatever postcard that you are thinking of spending $3-5000 on must be one awesome postcard. Would like to see a picture of it if you get it.
