Great thread. Even though a postmark may lower the technical grade of a postcard, I think that they can really add to its over desirability. I certainly would pay a premium for a postcard with a signifcant postmark that helps tell its story.
This one has a Boston postmark from October 11, 1915, the third game of the World Series, which was the first game that was played in Boston. Dutch Leonard out-pitched Grover Alexander 2-1 and the Red Sox took the Series lead two games to one.
I wonder if this postcard was purchased at the game?
