Is this postcard rare or significant?

[quinnsryche]

Question for those who may know, is this postcard rare or historically significant (because of the content on the reverse?) Is that Addie Joss seated on the left? It came with a collection of items I am selling for a friend of my dad's and I have no info on it. Would anyone want to render a guess on a fair asking price?
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks,
Tony

Thanks for the link. Unfortunately the thread seems to have died off before any concrete evidence ever came to light. Funny how Leon says maybe this will come around again in 2 years and that's about the time frame here!
Whether it's Wood or Joss, who knows, but does anyone know what it's worth?

Not sure the price but when you figure one out I would definitely be interested in it.

Not a particularlt rare postcard, but the content on back along with Logan Galbreath's signature is where more value rests in my opinion. The postcard by itself probably would sell in the $40 -60 range or so on a good day. I think to the right person the content on back (Galbreath auto) would probably make the card worth in the $100-150 range or so. I could be wrong but were it mine I would likely sell it in that range. May get more from a PCL or Western States collector given the Los Angeles postmark and the fact that Galbreath was in Salt Lake City, Utah.

Also, IMO that is NOT Joe Wood on the postcard, respect other peoples opinions but NOT him.

So, what's the answer. Seems like most people don't believe either Joss or Woods is in the picture.

Regardless, good luck with the sale: http://www.ebay.com/itm/111883956904...%3AMEBIDX%3AIT

It's not Joss or Wood but don't let that stop you from selling it as such.

And against my better judgement and contrary to the laws of physics and just plain common sense, I have positively convinced myself and am bound and determined to make everyone believe that it is Joe Jackson himself seated in the middle of that postcard, and Eleanor Roosevelt is one of the more manly players in the top row (I will let you all decide which one she is).

Ha, never let the truth get in the way of a good story. Especially when there's $ to be made.

Seriously, that ebay listing is shady AF.

From the ebay auction:

"Also interesting is the appearance of Addie Joss and Smoky Joe Wood seated left and right on the front. An amazing historically significant postcard with priceless content. A truly unique, one of a kind piece of baseball history."

Wow.....just wow.

The post mark is after Addie Joss's death but that doesn't mean it's not him. It kind of looks like him. Anybody want to zoom in on the ears and make a comment?
