Let's see some postcards

[LincolnVT]

I've only got one PC, but having one has broadened my interest in owning others. I agree that actually holding a stabbed postcard in your hand can make all of the difference. My fear is that the 2 other postcards that I want are already out of financial reach.

Thanks O!

What are the other two Ethan?

Ethan, I’m confused. You PMd me saying you had a 15 Red Sox team PC with Ruth you were interested in potentially trading. And now you’re saying you don’t own one as it’s out of your reach? What am I missing here? Or are these two different cards? Admittedly, I’m not a PC guy, so just trying to understand.

The price on the Topping PC is crazy. I have a Cobb Brush postcard, wonder what that would go for now?

The Brush is a nice one. There are actually less known Brush Cobbs than Topping. There are 7 Topping Cobbs graded (3 psa 4 sgc), and there are only 5 Brush (2 psa and 3 sgc). The Brush is not a catalogued set, while the Topping is (pc 773-1). Makes no difference to me. The Brush set is extremely cool and unique. Here are mine:

Orly, you now can read Beckett articles showing and discussing cards you own! Hope everyone is mentoring or educating a youngster on anything prewar related to baseball. Congrats to Steven on the Plank and near completion to the PC796 set. What most new postcard colllectors do not realize, is you can't base a price off a prior sale! RPPCs are one of a kind and rare series hardy come up in auction. Plus, many private sales which the sale price goes un reported, and you only hear about it, through rumorville.

Look at these public realized prices from sales

Ty Cobb E&S postcard 2018 Memory Lane 29,335.20

Ty Cobb Topping postcard 2018 Memory Lane 37,735.20
(Previous sale 2007 Goodwin 3470.95 and REA 1,100.00)

Ty Cobb Morton Buster Brown Pin 2018 Memory Lane 8,070.00

Ty Cobb Schapira Bros 2015 Heritage 11,950.00
(Previous sale 2007 Goodwin 3470.95)

Hal Chase St Marys Pre Rookie RPPC 2018 LOTG 9,840.00.

Showing different examples of items that run up higher than expitations for the auction. Surprising no way! Collectors are realizing how rare this stuff is and are starting to go for it without using a guide or a website saying what the "market price" is.
