Should I send this postcard to Night Owl?

I purchased this card at the first card show I've been to in years. I picked up a mess of stuff. Including this ad postcard.


I wasn't familiar with the ASCCA.  So off to the web.  I found a mention in this Columbia University student newspaper from 1973.  Actually quite an interesting look at the collecting hobby some 43 plus years ago.





Now to figure out if I really want to send that postcard to Night Owl, hopefully enticing him to send me the 1971s I need want.  Look at it.  There's a bit of water damage.  The image isn't perfect.  I can't send him such a lousy card.  But there are Dodgers.  He does like the Dodgers.

I also picked up some other cards for him, but I can't show those to you now.  Heck, what would I blog about in March?

Thoughts?  Send him the postcard?

Oh, and I need a 2017 Topps for my Topps Type Collection.  I don't know which card I should add.

I'm too tired to make these decision.  Help me.  Comment below.

    Sure, send it. Why not? I need something else to sit on my desk waiting for pages to fit it.

    Sorry, I'm cranky. Currently balancing the checking account.

    That's a cool piece of card collecting history!

    Send it to Night Owl - with all of his quality writing, he deserves this vintage oddball!
