Here is an interesting piece together of a couple old posts/quotes. Hopefully I'm interpreting these right as I don't collect postcards
1-The dividing line on Postcards started on March 1, 1907. 2-For a short time after that, postcards still had white space on front for writing purposes, basically printers using up what they had to save on money 3-If yours has the white space on front and the divide line, then it was probably made shortly after March 1st The first two are facts, the third is an assumption based on those facts

Another with 13 players who were with the Pittsburgh Pirates during the regular season, but never played a game. There's also one about 27 baseball families, as well as a day-by-day look at the worst team in Pittsburgh Pirates history.

I completely agree with you on point 1. March 1, 1907 is the beginning of the Divided Back Era for Postcards. Before then, it was not permitted to place correspondence on the back of the card, just the address. And, as you noted, this date also marks the appearance of the dividing line. That, coupled with the postmark would indicate that the card was released between these two dates: March 1, 1907 and November 30, 1910 The other points you made do make sense to me; however, I don't think narrowing the date range down further is possible without information I have not yet seen. Best Regards, Eric
