Yes, people do buy,
sell and
collect antique
postcards! Most of the
interest is in the more
unusual,
attractive, or
rare cards from the early
1900s to the 1950s.
Please note, the cards
shown on this website
are "keepers" from
my own collection. :-)
But, if you come shows, or check eBay, you will find amazing cards
from every place and about
every subject.
