Message:: [QUOTE="Joe2007, post: 1220428, member: 1262"]I'd expect institutional or at least very heavy collector interest in these postcards due to the interesting subject matter if they are indeed one offs and are unique. I attend local estate auctions here in the U.S. and sometimes there is a museum or historical society bidding on a few items. If these are as scarce and desirable as they appear I'd expect that best prices would be realized in a well advertised auction at a reputable auction house that has both floor and internet bidding. RPPCs of desirable subjects can realize into the hundreds of dollars each. I'm kind of surprised that these were found in postcard format. I wonder if the owner of the horse would have created these to send to friends and family to celebrate his horse racing prowess. If that was the case there might be a small chance there may be more out there. Postcards as ephemera generally were discarded by the recipient after a time so even if there were a number produced there may only be a few or none surviving. Most photographers could easily make a custom postcard for a client. I wonder if [USER=11768]@Vintage Maven[/USER] would have anything to add?[/QUOTE]
