For about 15 years I have been collecting world naval warship postcards. I have approximately 2000 postcards. The postcards are mainly pre-1945. The warships are from all over the world, predominantly the United States, Great Britain, France, and Germany. I also own some postcard views of the more famous warships of the 20th Century such as the Bismarck and Emden. Most of the warships in my collection are from the Pre-Dreadnought era (late 1800s to 1906).

Comment: This is certainly member of top ten postcard sites: it is marked by a. scientific precision of data, 2. perfect layout 3. logical and so instructive structure.
I have been amazed by the richness of the choice and still rigorous adherence to the theme.
No other site, apart from the Maltese Aiibus Captain site on airlines postcards.
I studied several section of this magnificent site and would like to emphasise the balance of the site in general
As deltiologist I would have only one recommendation: adding some information giving more information on a few vintage postcards, if possible, including e g whether it is mint or used, the stamps used, the cancellation stamps, when no considered in conflict with privacy laws (the postcards older than 70 years are in general considered as eligible) quoting the text on the back - or before 1902 (aprox) on the front.

Comment: This site offers airline postcards for trading and you can find some surprising and unique pieces in the category commercial - which is normally slightly neglected by collectors and without justification. Here I have found to some disappointment only fresh or mint postcards and no sent, which I prefer and so does many a contemporary deltiologist. There is a good deal of first hand and quality information to study on the sent ones, whereas the mints are only magnificent in colour but kind a sterile. They lack the perfume of distance in time and space, stamps, or a few of those words written by hand. This is so appealing, this gives even some thrill when I study where it was posted, which state issued the stamps and the cancellation stamp print is a short detective story.
The site was a refreshing experience.

We are retired and love to scour the countryside for rare and unusual items which catch our eye. Now, something has to move out to make room for the new, so we are offering these items for your consideration and selection:

Early 1900's Sheet Music including World War I era.

Early 1900's Penny Postcards

If there is anything of interest to you I will be glad to send you a more detailed accounting or picture. Just e-mail meno postcards on this site

I am sorry to say that my visit to this site was useless - the links to the auctions are dead and I could not find a single Penny Postcard, although I was trying quite hard.

My Collection of Edwardian, Victorian & Modern Postcards.

I really enjoyed this site. all postcards are of excellent authenticity and quality. A few are posted, i e used, adding the extra value of the time almost 100 years ago. The combination of tint and colour and photography is amost quintessential for this period. The subchapter on the Royal Post is a valuable resource for both philatelist and deltiologist.

Elianny's P scard Page


Welcome to my site! First of all, let me introduce myself........My name it's Elianny (23 years old), I'm from Dominican Republic, a beautiful tropical island in the Caribbean, sorrounded by wonderful turquoise water and full of great people. My city its the capital Santo Domingo, home of the first city of the New World.



I received my first postcard in 1999, and that gave me the idea of having a new hobby: Postcard Collecting! My collection is still pretty small, but now that I've finished university I´m really dedicating time to it!

I love postcard collecting because its an amazing way to discover new places and enjoy the wonders of each country. I'm trying to get at least five cards of each country, and I sure with your help I'm going to get them.

Please enjoy the page and feel free to contact me!

If you want to leave some ad or comments, you're welcome to sign my Guestbook! I'll really appreciated it.

Comment: Today I am visiting The Dominican Republic. The webmaster lives in Santo Domingo - this is always music in the deltiologist's ears to hear that yet another person discovered the beauties and niceties of poatcard collecting. and collecting the countries and towns is one of the best themes in postcard collection. The swap of 5 or more postcards in one envelope, a proven method but again the values of the sent, with cancellation stamp prints and postal stamps of the caountry of origin, they are likely to lose some of that hidden appeal of the touch of the distance in SPACE and TIME. I am looking forward to addditions to this promising site.

BELMAR POSTCARDS

A nice site with one topic: postcards from Belmar New jersey - all of them reflect the time and place outstandigly and the whole collection destribes about 60 years of the history of this seaside city.

comment: A site dedicated to coffee promotion and postcards are a useful tool to do ti. Nothing for a collector - except for a specialist in coffee free cards. the desighns are good. A few liks are dead or lead to betting and casino locations or cloaked as various kinds of competitions with 'you have won' they are likely to bring you to a MLM site.

LEROY'S HOBBIES AND INTERESTS

I've been collecting picture postcards for at least 50 years. I really don't consider myself an expert Deltiologist, but I know what I like. When I was 9 years old my Grandfather died and I inherited his collection of cards.

During the 1930's my Grandparents traveled by motor coach all over the Western United States. He bought and saved postcards along the way and when he returned home he would entertain clubs and church groups with his adventures. His postcards would be projected on a screen with an opaque projector.

The number of postcards in my collection has grown from the original one hundred or so to 4,000 or more, many dating back to the early 1900 to 1930 period. Favorite subjects are: Transportation, Texas Cities, Expositions, Old Mexico, and the American West

Comment: I have been absolutely thrilled to see a few vintage postcard samples on this site and I regret to say that the webmaster did not publish them. Waht a pity. Those postcards from his grandfather must be real deltiologic jevels. The feel the travellers adventures covered by them may be the most unique deltiologic experience on the web. Please Leroy could you add at least several of this postcard treasure you possess. For the postcard's sake, I beg.

Comment - a very good site with some unique postcards on offer - the atmosphere of the biggest and most glamorous city in Russia is reflected very well here. I can recommend to every serious postcard collector and the prices are more than favourable.
You are certain to find something very unique above all when you collect Russia.

Comment: I have enjoyed this site with vintage postcards with stamps and sent by post. This is the touch of history and society at that time when they were sent and postal stamps cancelled at the post, unlike these high quality new mints giving nothing more than the quality thick paper and precise print in colours, which brings the unique feeling to postcard collecting - were they intended to be sent somewhere sometimes, BUT they are not - the collector keeps them isolated in her or his drawers and racks, or for swapping at best - they are sort of on-shelf books in a library, mint and fresh, nice yet empty, sterile, barren - I think, if a mint new postcard longed for anything than it is to be sent and given the chance to live its real life, to do its life travel, to bring joy to an addressee and perhaps only after fulfilling its purpose to land in hands of a discerning deltiologist, in a well kept, ordered and loved collection of postcards, to tell its moving story of travelling between lands, through so many post services and their sorting machines to its colleagues in the collection. Well this is how Christian Andersen would feel the postcard collecting - the real world of colletors still clings to aseptically new, fresh mint postcards - but there are distinct signs of the change for the better - and this site is a good proof to it.
Thank to the webmaster for a uplifting experience.

postcards, vilnius,

Hello and welcome to my website. If you want to know more about me, [touch me gently] for more information. This website is set up for one of my oldest and most passionate hobbies- postcard collecting. Here you will find information about me, my postcard collecting hobby and trading information. What you will not read here is what other websites say "my aim is to get a postcard from each country around the globe" (but you have actually just read that, yay me! :D) and similar but obvious information. I'd like to exchange postcards with people from all over the world. Here you can see some samples of what I have for trade; however, I have more than that and can match your preferences. I can send animal (dog and cat, rarely horses) cards in exchange for cards I collect. Many cards in my album are marked as unavailable because the bookshop that had them was closed forever and those cards are not stocked in other bookshops. I will be on the lookout for them, of course.





You send postcards from the country/state you live in! My interests are:


city panorama
night view of a city
places of interest
historic sites, including churches
people and specifics of the country; maps are also OK
Japanese sights and other Asian sights.

But we can talk about each swap seperately in person. I am willing to do regular or one time swaps of up to 10 (but we can agree and about more) regular size (10x15) postcards to different countries and I prefer to exchange 4 cards only for our first trade. I accept only mint/new postcards. Among that, my meta-preferences would be:

comment:
A beautiful site with outstanding language. The maps collection is nice. What I have seen on the Ginte's site from the same Baltic state has some in common: love for Japan (I would suggest a there, a captivating one, postcards with reproductions of Japanese woodcuts), origami, collector may be studying Japanese, church motifs or themes.
And again, the mints are the only option. What would they ONLY say to the simple fact that the established deltiologic assoc of Miami does not consider postcards even stamps with cancellation stamp prints and written on as less valuable, but rather on the contrary?
