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.
