Postcards are getting expensive... :-x
 
Nice clear photo, you can see the cartouches in the butt stock!

Who paid $127.50 for a pc? Was it a banjo player?

I just was reading a forum where a couple of the members were lamenting the days when photos were going for $3.00 a piece.
 
Hey George,
I believe that it was Joe who pushed the post card price over $125, but that was many years ago, I tried to buy a post card at the world's largest ball of twine, but Joe had priced post cards out of my reach.

:oops: No comment about inadvertently helping to push the price of that one up Joe. I thought my nemesis "ak1wk" might have his eye on it.

Great pic, I was wondering when you were going to share it with us. Either way, you've saved me the trouble of starting a new post about that Wachstuchmütze Überzug (?):

By the way, anyone here barret2? Nice pick-up, albeit a tad expensive ...

What's a man to do? The dastardly Australians are attacking the prices! I don't know how it is for you but we cannot see who we are bidding against. I would love to find a way to get around that -- I think Robert and I have pushed prices up against each other in the past.

Now for the important stuff. What a super picture! Now I would have put the price of that up! If only it was R16. even Jack Sheldon has been unable to find a copy of that regimental history. The real question is are we talking about covers?? I'm not always so sure. this one yes but I just am not sure all of the time.

The fall of your man's cap Joe resembles that of a 'crusher' style cap, rather than a cover, the two other pictures look like Überzug are being worn. Here's another couple for scrutiny ...

P.S. I have a gentlemen's agreement, if there is such a thing this day and age :) with George, if I see he's bidding on something I will avoid having a dip at it. This doesn't always work out as I'm obliged to use Bid-Napper as most auctions close when I'm in the sack.

Hey Brett,
Isn't that the same thumb print I see on you other cards in the lower right corner?

Despite being a cop for 17 years now Gus, I can't tell if it's the same print or not :D - maybe that's why I haven't caught a burglar in a while :-k

I get quite a few fingerprints on these old cards, the photographer's weren't as fussy about such things in those days. Other things on their minds perhaps.

Hey Brett,
I used to do a lot of dark room work, and to be honest, I rarely developed a print that I did not leave my own print upon.
