Congrats on the win. I was the 2nd highest bidder.

Seemed like a decent price but not my wheelhouse.

Title of thread needs to be changed. It sounds like you're looking for post-war advice.

Long term: Jim Rowe RPPCs. Pretty well established that Rowe used Burke’s 1930s-40s era original negatives to print his PCs. Once people start to get priced out of Type 1 photos, they’ ll realize the value of Types 2/3 and flock to them. Rowe’s postcards cost the same as a run of the mill PC and are much, much , much cheaper than current Type 2 photos.

Long shot: pre-war Pocket schedules. A 1917 Boston Red Sox Pocket Schedule depicting Babe Ruth in a Team Photo (Type 3) sold for a little over $2000 and a Tigers Pocket Schedule with Ty Cobb (Type 3) sold for about $400 on eBay.
