I know there is debate as to whether or not a postcard is a baseball card. I start off by saying I believe that a postcard IS a baseball card - and I offer that as background info. |

1. Is the photo an original off of an original negative? i.e. first generation. |

1. Assume both the photo and the real-photo postcard are off the original negative. |

It seems as though the current thinking is anything that can be considered a card is more valuable than a photo. So it stands to reason, with all things being equal, a post"card" would be more valuable than a photo. Otherwise we woudn't be seeing the far reaching descriptions of things that aren't cards trying to make them into cards......I can't blame anyone for wild descriptions to maximize their financial interest. If you perfume a pig it still stinks though......I think Hal (hi Hal) should send in the drivers license to PSA and tell them it's a card.....Maybe he could throw in an extra 20 spot and they will slab it?? |

The old photos are often one of a kind or scarce enough to be considered such and not a card. I think true PCs are a seperate category. Exhibit made postcards, so I believe some postcards are baseball cards. On the otherhand, this Company seems to be shunned by a large segment of collectors. "Ohhh, it's a postcard?.. No thankyou." Personally, I love PCs and the artists renditions of those hand-colored, grand old parks. |

Would you pay more for this if it was a photo or if it had a postcard back? |

I would pay more if it had a postcard back. Just my preference. |

If the photos are of the same size, the postcard would be worth more financially as there are many who collect postcards and think postcards are comparable to baseball cards. |

I kinda like the vintage era photos as many of them were distibuted in smaller numbers then postcards. Postcards can be used as well, which depending on how you look at things either devalues or adds history to it. I dont consider either a "card" though, i consider them exactly what they are. Cards have higher values so I understand wanting to advertise a photo or postcard as a advertisement card but i dont think anyones being fooled |
