I'm a Cobb collector, so I'm a little biased. His Novelty Cutlery has always been my favorite. It's hard to pick 5 with so many great PC's, but here's my top 5. |

#1 Baseball postcard of all time (to me) is the Orr postcard of Louis Sockalexis. #2 would be the Weiser Wonder Walter Johnson postcard. Everything else is a distant third through fifth so its not worth worrying about making a list. |

Paul, That Novelty Cutlery is fantastic, and I would also rank it number one in the postcard category. There may be postcards that are older, but I think it will be hard to find one that combines rarity, aesthetics and importance. Not only is it one of a few 1907 Cobb cards, but cards from the Novelty Cutlery set are very difficult to find. |

Thanks Wesley. Everybody's lists are fantastic. I'm not familiar with the Orr postcard of Louis Sockalexis, so if someone has one to share that would be great. Also, I'm not sure if I've seen the Victor Mills Jackson, so that would be nice too. |

rmacpa, thanks. That's extremely cool. I now remember seeing it before, but I just forgot what it looked like. (how the heck could I forget that!) |

These postcards are all great. Most I had not seen before. It's great to still be able to discover things I've never seen before. One of the big pluses of the internet. Thanks for posting. |

The 1931 Josh Gibson photo postcard must rank high up there somewhere. Afterall, it set the record for the most paid for a postcard. |

The Josh Gibson postcard sold for $81,200, which, according to the hobby writeup I found in the SMR, is "a world record for any postcard of any type relating to any field." |
