I am not wanting to sell, just curious. It has the number 158 in the upper left corner. Am trying to date an Alfred mainzer postcard, color, linen-like quality, with white borders, of Yankee Stadium.

(The notable exception to this rule is the Curt Teich Company, and I post dates for those.) We can definitely say, in the case of this card, that it was published after 1943, which is when the Post Office starting using two-digit codes to differentiate areas of large cities (e.g., New York 16, New York). Given that this card is a linen card, it's unlikely (though not impossible) that it was published after 1950 so, in this case, we can narrow the date down to a range of about seven or eight years. Unfortunately, most of the time that's as good as it gets.
