About Postcard Collecting

Postcards became popular as collectibles at the turn of the 20th Century, and are still sought after today by collectors of pop culture, photography, advertising, wartime memorabilia, local history, and many other categories (e.g. Christmas, Halloween, lodging, silk). Subject matter and condition, plus general desirability and demand determine values.
