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.
