Any Post Card experts here?

I have seen this specific postcard circulate and sell every few months, or at least it appears that way. Once the new owner realizes that it is not from 1932, they probably sell it off and move on.

I thought so, yea, this is a mistake. SGC should consult a post card expert before slabbing something they know nothing about. I am no post card expert and knew this was bogus. unreal.

[danmckee]

I have a revelation! maybe SGC should buy it and get it off of the market? fix a mistake they made? Should only set them back a few hundred.

SGC is pretty worthless when it comes to grading postcards. Not as bad as PSA, but still not very good.

I have no relationship with anyone at SGC, but perhaps someone could point out that auction and this thread to someone over there and they can get it off the market. Apparently the only reason it's staying in that bogus slab is because no one wants to lose money on it.

I noticed that one too. The Kodak stamp box on the back means it's at least from the 1950's. SGC got this one wrong.

I have one of these. It's buried somewhere in one of my numerous junk-piles. If I find it, I will post it.

Anyway, I acquired it in small Antique shop in Pennsy approx. 15 years ago for $10. I asked the owner why was it only $10 ?

He said he that it was most likely issued circa 1950's (or 1960's).


Happy New Year to you and your Dad.

I am still trying to find any proof at all that these Burke/Brace Kodak backed postcards were ever issued in the 1950s. I don't think Rowe started making them until the 1960s.

Happy New Year Ted! Good to hear from you!

Yes I may be off, 60s and 70s may be correct, like I said, I am no expert on post cards but sure know enough not to slab this 1932!

ugh grading!

more like 1970s

same back as all the real photo postcards made by Jim Rowe

How does anyone see that reverse and still drop $100+ on that postcard? Slabbed by SGC as 1932, that's how.
