[PRCo] Re: eBay -- Pittsburgh Streamliner Streetcar

[mrb190]

Plain & simple:  one man's garbage is another man's gold.  A lot of you already
have - per your e-mails to this list - a decent collection of Pittsburgh
Railways photos and other artifacts, so, those who do not, will pay for them.
Something like this particular post card featuring a brand new Pittsburgh PCC
and in the location of the old Highland Carhouse might bring back a flood of
memories for someone who grew up in the area, or someone who collects pictures
of the PCC car fleet.   And $5.50 for an old post card may not be such a bad
deal.  Key chain collectors pay more than that on eBay, so why not a post card.

As I said, one man's garbage is another man's gold.
