I also kind of like old cards with markings...particularly if it looks like a kid was writing on it. Reminds me of the true origins of these cards and I like to imagine kids holding their cards, listening to their favorite players playing on the radio or reading about them in the newspaper. Very nostalgic.

But I have my limits. Here's a w517 Ruth card (not my card, image from ebay) that has kid writing, but it references 1983. Even though it appears a kid wrote on it, it's likely this card was written on during the 80's...so to me now it appears less desirable. If he had written 1933 instead of 1983, I would consider it much more desirable because I never would have known it was "modern" writing. It's funny how our mental perspective of cards can change their perceived value.

Here's another post dated script (also not my card, image from ebay).

Not sure when it was written on, but likely 1939 or later.

Again, I mentally dislike knowing the card was written on AFTER Ruth was done playing.

Similarly, postcards with letters on the back are better than blank ones.

I would very much like to obtain an example of this W575-1 card of Sam Rice that has a clean back.

I checked to see if I had Rice. I didn't. But I found I did have this back-stamped and written-on Duffy Lewis, a relic from his brief time in Washington.
