F-G example from this difficult and highly desirable 1930s postcard issue featuring Cincinnati catcher Willard Herschberger. The "PC786" Orcajo issue featured at least 40 subjects from the Cincinnati Reds plus Joe DiMaggio and is considered very scarce today (so much so that new subjects are occasionally discovered several as recently as mid 2011). This example would carry a higher technical grade save for the letter "C" written in pencil at the card's top border as well as some age-related soiling on the reverse however basic corner wear would not find the card grading higher than VG without the pencil. Still a fantastic card from one of our favorite postcard issues.
