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. w517tfront.jpg w517tback.jpg |

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. goudey mark.jpg |

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.
