Got ten in my box set, seeing some go for big bucks on eBay. What's the scoop? Some rare?

The two cards that go for $40- plus are:

38- Audrey lying on pillow
53- Shelly

Yikes! What's so special about the Shelly card? Do people just love Mädchen?

That's a very good question. A higher demand for those cards or did they print fewer of them?

Maybe I should just sell my Shelly card? While I think the postcards are nifty fan items, I have no sentimental attachment to them. I'm not really the collector type. I'll keep the Leland "I'm back" card, though, 'cause that one rules the universe. It's cool that they included Windom's first pawn too. That's one creepy postcard to get in your mailbox!

The Shelly card being expensive is definitely an issue with distribution. I have gone through 10 packages of postcards and still not seen one. I really wish the distribution wasn't so bad.

Now the most expensive card is 32 (Bob scetch),although Audrey still sells pretty well.Indeed the Shelly cards are rarer,i had noticed that back in November,when only one or two people in this forum had it.
