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

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.

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.

What type of back did this postcard have?
