I way overpaid for this postally used PC.................

All my postcards have been mailed and I have about 100 baseball and the same Cobb as you. Seriously who really cares what the back looks like? Unless you're really OCD.

I really care about what the back looks like - more importantly what's going on the reverse. It's the history that makes the post card exceptional . The day of the World Series game, the early date of a HOFs career, my birthday, etc. it makes the piece more than a card. It's something we can identify at a different level.

Think Joe meant condition wise.

I love the vintage postmarked cards. Always got a kick out of the addresses. It would contain only the person's name, city and state. How it ever got delivered to the correct address is beyond me.

I love postmarked postcards and if they have a message all the better.
I thought this was a great postcard from the collection sold a year ago. The sender of this PC said they saw Cobb play in the first game there (April 20, 1912). Supposedly he stole home for the first run in the stadium. This card is postmarked April 22nd, 1912.
