What are folks opinions on postcards that have writing? Would you pay less for a Rose Company or Novelty Cutlery because it's been postally used?
I love vintage PCs with vintage writing and postmarks, especially if the PC is tied to an event and the writing reflects it. It adds a great deal of charm and authenticity to the piece. For example, I have a number of PCs from 1910 related to the Johnson-Jeffries heavyweight title fight that have postmarks from Reno around fight time that report observations about what was going on that week in Reno or at the fight. One I have from the Jeffries training camp that whines about the admission fee he was hitting up all visitors for. Another I have was used as a reply card for an autograph by Jake La Motta in the early 1950s.  And I haven't noticed an example as of yet, but are the grading companies just grading used postcards as AUTH or downgrading them in some fashion? I guess they'd be fair at best.
