Yep, I'll hold my hand up on this one. Collected them pretty heavily in the late '80s, into the early '90's (along with Gary Thomas PFHOF cards).
To me, they are a step up from autographed photos, and like a previous poster mentioned, they hold an autograph well. Seen a lot of faded signatures on baseballs. I also like the fact that they are serially numbered and limited in production, unlike photos and baseballs. And personally, I like the art.
In general, I see a lower number of forgeries on PS than on other mediums. However, when the studio quit producing postcards, I lost some momentum on the chase.
