Any thoughts on what it will go for?

If I recall, the catalog says $4,000-$5,000 estimate, but we know how close those estimates are.

If I had to guess I would say it will go for more than the high estimate.

Would someone kindly post some scans of this catalog?

I just started reading The Card by Michael O'Keefe, and in the prologue, he mentions an Old Gold Babe Ruth sign being in Bill Mastro's collection. I have no idea if the one in Legendary's auction is the same one, if it was previously sold by Mastro and now reconsigned, etc.

Not trying to stir the pot; just pointing something out.

While Old Gold displays are certainly not common, it is not a unique item so odds are it isn't one from Mastro's collection.

Thought $8400 was a great price for the Falk Giants postcard. Speaking of which, another surfaced at the show and some very lucky person got it for only $1500!

That was actually Joe D's card; he spotted a trove of Taddy cards and needed cash quickly.

Jeff:

The one at the show that you mentioned selling for $1,500 was at the Sporting News photo booth and I don't believe it was an original RPPC as the other one was but instead I believe it was a photo of the original postacrd on a postcard-back. I had the opportunity to buy it for $1,500 the first night but passed because of that reason as well as not really needing it for my collection's current focus.

I would guess closer to 15k, but that is just a guess.

It used to require a $100 donation to charity for entrance. Not sure about this year.

Its not mine. Very cool to see another one out there.

It looks very nice. I hope someone here grabs it.

Joe- I've been asked if it is yours but I think this one is different. Doesn't the photo on yours go all the way to the bottom of the card? The one in the Legendary Auction has some blank space beneath the image. Also, I don't recall yours having that advertising on the back.

Barry -

The photo on mine does not go all the way to the bottom of the card. It is just like the one in Legendary.

People weren't allowed to write a message on the back of the postcard at the time (it was for an address only) - - so I would guess that space was intended for a message to be written.

The postcard I have is postally used and has writing on the front.

I am pretty sure the back of mine is the same as the one in Legendary..... but I don't have a back scan handy (can't seem to find it on my computer). I plan on going to the bank soon, so I will check it out then.

Thanks Joe. Funny how I remember yours differently.
