I'm from a newspaper family, so I'm probably biased, but I think front pages like these are a really undervalued collectible. Nothing in my basement gets more stares than these old framed newspapers. Even my daughter and her friends can't help but look and read parts of it. I paid about $100 each for these unframed and would have paid twice that. I'm getting to the age where I figure if I can't display it, I'm getting rid of it!

I'm with you on that. Having cards in a safe deposit box or, worse yet, some company's vault, blows. It's the stuff on the walls that I see every day that make me happy. Quote:

Looks like Type 1 photos is the kind of the poll so far. It’s a coin flip for second place between Pins and Supplements. This authentic trimmed Cobb went for over 5k last night with spirited bidding of over 70 bids. I enjoy larger stuff to display and show, but I also get worried about theft and other things that could happen displaying valuable items.

M101-2 Ty Cobb Sporting New Supplements
I have recently picked up Type 1 and Supplements of Ty Cobb and personally and I find them to be very attractive pieces and having room to run some as more surface in PSA slabs to the public. Granted I think the Type 1 need to be compelling photos or have a story, but I believe in them both. Here is a recent M101-2 Ty Cobb Sporting News Supplements PSA Authentic pickup of mine.

Title of thread needs to be changed. It sounds like you're looking for post-war advice.

Long term: Jim Rowe RPPCs. Pretty well established that Rowe used Burke’s 1930s-40s era original negatives to print his PCs. Once people start to get priced out of Type 1 photos, they’ ll realize the value of Types 2/3 and flock to them. Rowe’s postcards cost the same as a run of the mill PC and are much, much , much cheaper than current Type 2 photos.
Long shot: pre-war Pocket schedules. A 1917 Boston Red Sox Pocket Schedule depicting Babe Ruth in a Team Photo (Type 3) sold for a little over $2000 and a Tigers Pocket Schedule with Ty Cobb (Type 3) sold for about $400 on eBay. Last edited by EddieP; 08-17-2023 at 08:15 AM.
