Do Not Ignore Your Local Postcard Shows

Nice grab on the Vance postcard. I am scared to know what you paid for your example...I just bought mine from Phil Garry and am guessing that I paid several times more than you just did!

Great pick-up!

As a former color postcard collector my son and I used to hit the paper and postcard shows here in Sacramento. There is one dealer who has BB postcards but...for some reason he thinks they are golden so no sales from us.

I used to have great luck at the show in L.A. but too many collectors have started going there. The baseball stuff I find there now costs more than on Ebay.

Sealmark: betcha I know who that is...

I think the prices have gone up at PC shows as well...most know what they have...but I go anyways because sometimes you will get that nice old couple with a great group including bb stuff and it will be mixed in there and you can find some gems.

A few years ago I passed on a nice 31-32 Exhibit Card of Babe Ruth in suit and tie pose that was going for way below book...but I passed on it as I wasn't collecting those sort of things back then... oh well....

I've been to 3 out of the last 4 so we probably ran into one another. You'd think those dealers would bring more baseball since we're both asking...most of them tell me they have lots more, but didn't bring them.

Great pick-ups! Love the Dempsey's, and the Seattle Coliseum image (s), with one of my favorite minor league hockey squads, the Seattle T-Birds. Lots of brawls in the WHL, great action.

I'll have to start looking for local PC shows.
