�the Wagner� of postcards

Hankphenom · #1 10-15-2014, 06:18 PM

I'm really not trying to be contentious here, but this would seem to fall into the category of "If you have to ask..." Whatever people are responding to, though, keep the great postcards coming!

I don't know that there is one definitive postcard, although as a group the Rose Company postcards may be the most iconic.

Is there a definitive book or guide to baseball postcards?

If there were multiple past threads debating the most iconic postcard that all ended with no clear censensus, your point might be well taken. However, I'm not aware of the conversation ever taking place, so you can't really say "If you have to ask..." about something that hasn't really been asked.

Note: If there are in fact many other threads debating this that I am unaware of, please move on to the next post.

Ha, true, but then again makes for good discussion none the less. Can only take so many t206 threads.

As folks know, some of these postcards are available in REA's current auction. So value shouldn't be a factor as the results will speak for themselves. I see rarity as key for me. That is what draws me to the 1915 RPPC with Ruth. Rare and early Ruth.
