Sorry but minor league team postcards picturing pre-rookie Hall of Famers routinely sell on e-bay in the $200 - $500 range, including Joe McCarthy, Casey Stengel, Stan Coveleski, Dave Bancroft, Dazzy Vance and many others. I would put Frank Baker in a similar class as far as tier level Hall of Famer. I have picked up Tris Speaker and Rogers Hornsby (much higher level HOF'ers) on e-bay for $800 and $900 respectively. Therefore, the Baker postcard last night was not a good value, just a must-have for someone willing to pay "whatever it takes" to get it.
