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.
I prefer PS and Sport Illustrated covers over the stock photographs at shows. The PS cards were a nice alternative. Production ceased with the 15th series (2001 induction class). Football has the Goal Line Art Cards (GLAC), I guess baseball with have to live with the HOF induction cards, which I personally don't like.

Correction - In an earlier post, I stated having 30 cards. This morning, I checked the database and I have 49 of the post cards signed. Brett will make 50 and then I will have the cards framed. I never say never, but I don't think getting Koufax is going to come to fruition.
