That particular seller seems to specialize in railroad station postcards and perhaps has a following of diehard collectors.</p><p><br /></p><p>Not many postcards, even really nice RPPCs ever get over the $200 mark very often although railroad stations are really good subject matter and in my experience often sell in the $30-$80 range per card.</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;d suggest starting the bid at $19.99 and hope for a few bids after that. Make sure to take excellent photos of both sides of the card and a few more showing details on the building/surroundings. Keywords in the listing title are important - I&#039;d suggest something like &quot;1913 Central Vermont Railway; Bethel VT; Train Station, Depot RPPC&quot;</p><p><br /></p><p>You should realize good money for these cards. RPPCs of stations and trains should do very well. This quality of card should be sold by itself and not in a lot. </p><p><br /></p><p>Wishing you luck,</p><p>Joe[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
