A comment _ Whether postcard or not, these collages are worth a short post. All of them are very good designs, lovely assemblages of images. if they were sent in the 60 or so as postcards to no matter where and from, my joy would be even bigger and would know - if not breaking the privacy rights - what the back rear of the postcard was like? Perhaps the webmaster has the scan.

My Hobby of Collecting Postcards

"Through travel I first became aware of the outside world; it was through travel that I found my own introspective way into becoming a part of it."
- Eudora Welty











Isn't it everybody's dream to travel? Especially if it is travelling the whole world. Continent by continent; countries by countries. Dreaming is free but reality is we can't all travel the whole world. Good news is, I know a way how? Are you excited to know it too? Mmmm...ready to read this? The great way to travel all around the world is by collecting postcards. Yes! you read it right...it is the postcards!!!

I got hooked by these beautiful things last September 2003. As I was cleaning and organizing my things (a very hard task for me!) I saw all of my postcards from previous school projects, gifts from my penpals, families and friends who lived abroad and during my travels too. I saw the sceneries and then I said to myself "Oh how beautiful these places are!" but I thought it cost too much to go to those places. So an idea crops up, I should start collecting postcards and it would be like I've been to that places

Comment - a nice site - with philosophical thoughts and general ideas on collecting postcards - how a person realizes its very own beauties, gets hooked by deltiology. I did not find a huge display of postcards here, but those not for trade are all with no exception the best quality sent postcards, which in terms of nowadays trends in collecting are real jewels, in comparison to those mint and not sent, which give much less information on time and space and the postal services at their time.

no postcards

UPDATE YOUR BOOKMARKS!!


Comment: And yet another ghost postcard site - I co not know whether due to problems with woftware or my second hand PC. But this is always a bit diturbing experience.

PUDU
A unique animal, the pudu lives in Chile.
It is a dwarf deer -- growing no taller than 40 centimeters and weighing less than ten kilograms.

The postcards are only rarely to be found on this site, the beauty of this site is in showing the life of people teaching English in Chile - the changes of the staff.
As a deltiologist I have little on which to assess.

Vintage Postcards of Edinburg Ind





Hello this is my collection of old vintage postcards of Edinburg Ind. The card on the left is the Edinburgh First Christian Church since 1834 is the oldest existing church in Edinburgh. The current building was dedicated August
12,1888. this postcard was postmarked 1912.

Other Postcards
Featured Tip:


Masonic Temple and Opera

This is a relatively small collection of postcards and they are focused on the Edinburg area in Indianopolis and this is tightly linked to the first Christian Church founded in 1832 after the two streams Campbell's and Stone's fused and established the Disciples of Christ - as I myself have strong spiritual ties towards Hussite and European Reformist I appreciate that they took almost the same token i e logo for their service to our Lord: the Chalice. The only difference from the evangelical church here in Bohemia is that cross inside the chalice (the similarity of the Czech word 'kalich' and German 'Kelch' and Latine 'calix' is most than remarkable.
As a deltiologist, I highly treasure this kind of small topically and locally oriented postcards because they reflect the identity in time and space of a group of people, not only the postal services habits and the current themes of the postcard's time of issuing. Well done - a nice example that the biggest and hugest may not always be the best and on the contrary smaller collection may be of much higher authenticity and deltiologic importance and challenge for reseach.

Stormygator's Postcards




Welcome to my postcards webpage, my name is Rod. I collect antique postcards from the early 1900s (1900 to 1930s). I am always interested in acquiring entire post card collections, albums, or other groups of postcards (occasionally even individual cards). I collect various vintage postcards. These include U.S.Town Views, States Views, some Holiday Postcards, Real Photos, Transportation Cards, Military, some Foreign Cards, and some other postcard topics.

If you have acquired

Comment:
A highly professional website dedicated to the best period of deltiology and to the most attractive topics e g the town views. This is the postcard tradition itself and the beginning - even before the 1868 or so, when the first edition issued by postal services in the USA marked the beginning of the postcard, we had views of Capital Cities in Europe engraved or etched or after abt 1800 lithographed on the limestone and documented and sometimes in smaller size sent by curriers to another state. The view of the state or a map of it with the capital city was also sort of presentation of the ruling authority, king, president, etc abroad - remember the radio and TV did not exist!
On this site every collector can find a lot inspiration and advice for creating a rich collection of her or his own - even technical means are offered.

Kate's Postcards
My name is Kate and I'm the one of those postcards freaks which you can find on the net. But don't worry, I won't force you to send me a postcard. For me is just the way to meet a lot of great people and even some real friends. Collecting is not just a race to have more and more... No. It's something where you can locate your dreams whishing that some day they will come true.

A lovely site, where I find the precious feeling of an ardent collector who understands the superior value of a sent postcard with all the treasured marks of distance and authenticity of the place where the postcard was sent from.
And I learned that widokowka means postcard in Polish.
This is the bold traveling of a postcard through many countries, the sublime adventure or a small piece of thick paper not protected with envelope, not unlike a courageous warrior among heavily wrapped parcels and letters, all this adds the unique beauty to a sent postcard.
A nice site, clear words, guestbook full of praise - and justly so.

"Postcarding is one of my favorite hobbies.
Not only does it help me learn about other places,
it helps me meet other great people..."

You may be asking why I want to collect postcards. Well all I can say is that I find them fascinating. If I could

problems with blog this feature persist!!!!!

comment- this is a very unusual site - there is no motivation offered by the webmaster for sending him or her a Postcard - the comments are almost impolite - and I am going to send my postcard to this Post Office Box - maybe people would get tricked into by those usual hype and baloney promises of drawing the postcards - this is almost rudimentary simple a clean demand of another human being with the customary trick - or is this the best of tricks - I shall inform you, what shall happen with this trial postcard sent into the POB with promised NO FEEDBACK. I am now really mentally exhausted and must finish my blogging Here and NOW.

comment: Newall site is a must see for Far East postcard collector - this is obvious that the author has built an extensive and functioning network of trade in this geographical area and focusing on the period outside WWI is worth praise for this period is already richly covered by philatelic collections. Yet another deltiologic advantage and precious feature is author's focusing on the Boxer uprising postcards. I enjoyed my stay on this site but regret that it does not seem to be updated often.

A colletion of photographic postcards focused on Indian architecture and the railways. A captivating selection of images that speak without words. It is worthwhile spending some time on this site, indispensable for every serious India vistor or researcher to realize the short course of time and the speed of change this multination state has been through over less than 80 years or so. The structure of the presentation is logical and instructive, the tour round India Postard Collection on this webpage is instructive and yet thrilling. Well done.

Comment: an outstanding site, with mint postcard and the historical map of Beirut - from 1912 - one of the best sites I have ever met on the web as yet, logically structured with perfect English, offering rarely concise and still comprehensive data on the city, life in it. This site epitomises quality postcard web resource. Thank you Joseph. Recommend *****

Postcards

Postcards: "A postcard or post card is typically a rectangular piece of thick paper or thin cardboard intended for writing and mailing without an envelope and at a lower rate than a letter. "

The Wikipedia defines only mint postcard - intended. The definition pertains to the user not a collector. This is the privelege of a collector to make up her or his mind up whether to collect used items or fresh ones. Here typically a used item cannot be reused whereus this is not he case with some other collectibles e g antiquities, veteran cars. In these categories preserved function may be applied as quality criterion - in deltiology this is not the case: what is important is the authenticity material quality and amount of information that a deltiologist may gather from the piece: thus it does not matter significantly whether the postcard is new or used. On the contrary - the used may be rarer and seem to growing rarer as the electronic systems of data and image transfer are ever more usual and common in all walks of life - in sending short messages with a photograph or picture we have a whole lot of efficient digital methods to do this.

The 2003 US Open features Andre Aggassi twice over, in the card of distinction (a hologram card) where he is shown hoisting his trophy up in 2 of his 4 previous US Open wins, and in a play shot. Other players featured are James Blake, Monica Seles and Ms. Hantukova.
The MTV VMA 2003 Series"

Certainly a very good site on postcards with modern design perfect English and a lot of original and good quality postcards with all the qualities we expect from them as deltiologists. last update was 2 years ago and site seems deserted - this would be a pity.

My 5 x 7 inch postcards are for sale. See how to order and prices at the end of this page. My flute music you will hear, was recorded live on location during a thunderstrom near the Grand Canyon AZ.




Dear Seeker: Within you is a spirit. Your spirit is very strong and beautiful. Your spirit is very real. Some things people say are not real. Know yourself and all that power and beauty that is within you. For that is very real.

An original set of 5 postcards - or strictly speaking images that would be printed out on demand and sent to a customer. Something like postcard happening - with monotoneous sound of the flute - we have the live postcatds which is a picture taken in real time by a web camera. But how should they be collected? Are these postcards or simply on line coverage of a certain place? I would prefer the latter. Not sent by post, not even printed out. To use words should be a little bit more responsible.

Hello, my name is Ana Carolina. I am a 22 year-old-girl from Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.

I created this page on May 14th, 2003. I have many hobbies, and the main ones are: collecting postcards, penpaling and taking care of my dogs.

Collecting postcards is very interesting because besides being the cheapest way to know places from all over the world, it is also a nice opportunity to make new friends worldwide. I have about 900 international postcards and 500 from Brazil. I collect them for 2
years and a half .

The limit of storage allocation in geocities is too small to allow me
to scan all my postcards and that is why I will only scan some cards from Brazil."


a lovely site, with the postcard featuring the point zero of equator lying in Brazil where the colletor Ana and her dogs live - very good structure and again the tendency to collect the mints - e g not written and stamped on the back as she puts it.
The philatelic habit is gradually wearing off inspired by postcards and noticeably the postcard lovers do not realize the specific strength of their hobby - the exchange of a few postcrds at the same time sent in envelopes seems to be the cause. Then, please keep the envelope within your collection, will you - this is a recommendation and in less then 10 years you will see the value of these envelopes growing up more quickly than of the collection itself - you may then remember this blog and my admonishing - so unpleasant at present. This is rather a humble and kind encouragement, isn't it?

Comment - yet another kind and manner of the postcard - teeming with originality - and what makes the postcard different from a greeting card? The simplest of those key features is that a postcard has its stamps on it and postal services stamps prints as well and gives the feeling of distance in time and place that only a postcard can cover survive unscathed.

Ginte's Postcards

Ginte's PostcardsSo far I have about 1000 postcards in my collection from all over the world and the ammount is still growing thanks to many people and friends.

If you want to trade postcards with me, just drop me an e-mail.

I collect:

- new, nice and unwritten postcards

and this is a bone I have to pick with you - The postcard is a witness of time. The postal services give the print of the time, touch of distance to them. I do strongly challange the idea of 'unwritten, not used, nice postcards' - This is an out-of date criterion set on philatelic resources and in auctions with stamps there is the tendency to collect the whole item - i e the envelope or postcard with all its marks as it goes through the postal delivery services. This gives much more taste, feel of time, originality to every collection and the uniqueness is the highest criterion of any collection - in turn, this gives the input data for assessing the commercial value. The time of 'never hinged, mint' stamp or postcards is gradully passing with the advent of digital tachnologies where no limits are given to the quality of an immage, but the distict imprint of time and distance on the item, on the postcard cannot be generated by computers, those few words on the back written by a person, good or bad, cannot be repalced by ink jet rainbow letters which can be repeated for infinite number of times in the quality where there is no more copy and original. This is WHY I do ADVOCATE STRONGLY COLLECTING AND TRADING BY POST - THE POSTCARDS adn STAMPS. This is a document of our time packed with info in comaprison with a mint, beautiful, never used, not inscribed and written upon postcards, which are perfect but less historically authentical, original and as a result less attractive to a collector who loves all this on his or her collection.
Every postcards is a small antiquity even if a few years old - we should keep in mind that collection are for our posteriority. What do you think?

How to make postcards

How to make postcards
HOW TO MAKE YOUR OWN POSTCARDS
by Rico Leffanta, Wild Life Photographer
Postcards are fun ~ fun to send, and fun to receive, but never as much fun as when YOU make the postcard!
• Especially now it is affordable! All you need to make great postcards are: postcards, a printer, and a computer with software permitting adjustment of images and text.
If you don't have a scanner to input your own images, you can always take them to a copy shop and get them scanned onto a disk.
There is no need to buy expensive postcard stock , because most of it will smear - if not in your printer, it will smear when it passes through post office sorting machines. So use postcards designed to hold print, e.g., Mead 4x6-inch Plain Index Cards.
A pack of 50-cards cost less than $1 at the stationery department of almost every store in America, so you can afford to send everyone on your list a postcard, and you can afford to co-ordinate the colour of your scanner/computer/printer so each postcard turns out perfectly.
Many printers don't "accept" 4x6 cards, or print flush to the edge of the postcard, but you can usually trick your printer into accepting postcard stock by using the "Label" or "Envelope" setting.
The best way to circumvent a printer not printing flush to the edge of the postcard is to use a snapshot margin, e.g., on a 4x6-inch card, set a .2 upper and .2 lower margin (I use a .3 upper and .3 lower for the address sideof the postcard).
Instructions on how to adjust your image should be available with the "Help" function of your imaging software. However, if you are going to use a .2 margin, remember the size of your image should be 3.6 x 5.6-inches!
Although many image programmes offer a text function, you can usually do a better job of it using the "Word Art" function of Word, because it allows more creative use and positioning of text. To use WordArt, save your image to the Desktop in .pict format at 300 dpi or less.

Comment, as my postcard exploration voyage goes on, I have visited a technically perfect site, giving you in-detail and yet fully clear and comprehensible instructions how to make your own postcards - but of course, you cannot find here the postcards themselves apart from somowhat cruel examples with sharks. My dad used to say - you do know what is hunger and war - if he saw these samaple postcards - anyway, the instructions are very useful and what you get is postcard as this should be.

Old Postcards

Old Postcards the postcards featuring thFire Department Shoe And Leather District, Cincinnati, O."
The Norwood Souvenir Co. Cincinnati, O.
POSTCARD is really lovely - the touch of time and the splendour of fire brigades of the beginning of the 20th centrury, all is here. And as to the other postcards, the collection is yet not large in scale but very enjoyable to browse. My rating here is good and authentical, worth your time viewing the postcards and studying the texts - they are given separately.

(v)oonspell Homepage this is a typical fake postcard site - I was not able to find a single postdard on it let alone useful original links - some text in Spanish and displayed sculls and I would waste time writing on.
