The cost of living is high, here in the Pacific NW .

I guess it depends on what you're really interested in, but I would pay a nice price for this or any PCL PC from this era.

I thought this one was low, but the market for these is so competitive that some folks don't even try for them anymore. Oh, poor me...

I have a completely different idea about postcards than most people: they generally have to be very clear RPPC's, and have an interesting image (not a run-of-the-mill team shot). Thus, although I understand the rarity and collectability of this type of team card, it has no real interest for me. Still, I bid $110 on it and wouldn't have felt horrible if I had won.

I was thinking $500ish. But hey its nice nowadays to see anything not go for 70% of what you think it should.

I think if it was the known 1910 Dingman postcard, it would've gone for $500-$600. But this is a card that I haven't seen and an image of this team 1912-13 that I haven't seen. If Mark Macrae hasn't seen it either then I'd venture to say there aren't that many (if any?) others out there. Of course, others surface but what price can you put on a unique card.

I agree. Nice to see things get some good money. Speaks well for our hobby.
