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.
