Anyone know about this Gorgeous George postcard I bought?

Neat card.

The ranch was purchased during the 1950's, so the SGC 1940's dating is incorrect.

Update: I thought there was an oversized version of the postcard, but I might be incorrect.

There is also an oversized version of the card, which I believe is considerably rarer.

Thank you for the post. I appreciate it. I had found that article when I was trying to do research on the postcard. I kind of thought the "1940s" by SGC was too early. I wonder if they then reconsidered and went with the equally vague "1950s" as a date.

There are are a fair amount of these postcards around but it is a neat item of an iconic wrestler who has very little made of him. Congrats on your pickup.

Thank you for the post. What do you think the value is? I assume I overpaid paid somewhat, but it wasn't a huge money item with the 15 percent eBay discount.

Probably overpaid a bit but this one is graded by SGC which is nice and I also overpaid one a 1976 Yamaktsu Mil Mascaras PSA 9 with the discount that was being offered by ebay.....I have a hard time putting a value number on it because wrestling cards are volatile in general.

Thank you the information. That is pretty much what I thought. I completely understand the importance of the Parkhurst and Wrestling All-Stars sets, but I love the obscure. I had never seen that postcard before. I usually filter out BIN listings, but I was looking for something that doesn't come up for auction much to use the 15 percent discount on.

I know the wrestling card market is a tiny niche in the hobby, but it is still amazing to me that cards of an all-time important figure in the sport like Gorgeous George sell so cheaply. I guess that is because he is pretty much unknown by modern fans.

I had seen that Mascaras card. Congrats on the pick-up. There are a bunch of good looking cards in the Yamakatsu sets.
