Not a single post card to be seen on this site - I am wondering why webmasters use the post card keyword to register their site showing completely different content. Nothing to rate or describe here - good by - perhaps next time I drop in on a real post card site - who knows?

Poland - my native country

Poland - my native country: "Hi! My name is Magdalena.
I live in Southern California.
I'd like to show you some postcards from Poland - small but amazing country located in Europe.








You can also see my photo at the bottom of this page. I'm the one on the left side of the picture, the other one is my friend, Iwona.
If you like this page send me an E-mail





If you want to see more photos of my country, go to

A good site - showing the burning desire of the collector to return to the country covered by her collection. Czechs and Poles are historically very close Slavonic tribes, originally the languages up to the 13th century or so had been so similar that we could understand each other. The postcards are mints and if I could advise the collector, than I would like to recommend her not to avoid used i e sent postcards from Poland - they have even more authenticity and hidden attraction for a modern collector than those fresh or mints have.

Hobby postcards and stamps

Hobby postcards and stamps: "Hi and welcome ! !

I'm Svetoslav, 39 years old Bulgarian, living with my Norwegian family in Norway. Bulgaria and Norway are my favorite countries. Would you like to know more about them, don't hesitate to ask me. Would you like to get something from there, don't hesitate to ask me. I love hobbies, especially to play games, any kind of games, but CHESS and BRIDGE...Actually they are not a hobby, but a kind of art, a masterpiece of art ! I dreamed to be proffessional, but my destiny wasn't that. Studing Economics, enjoying travelling, knowing the world...Norway...What an amazing place to live ! I never could imagine I would live here, but my destiny...I met my Norwegian wife...
Collecting postcards and stamps. Why ? Well, I'm always interested in geography and love making new friends. That's why stamps and cards are my passion ! I love travelling and seeing pictures. And all these memories, keeping me alive...cards !
Postcard collecting is my hobby
I shall not be bored.
It maketh me do research on faraway places.
It keepeth me alert .
It causeth me to correspond with strange people.
It leadeth me into new areas of knowledge"





A good site, logically structured and the collector shows the rare enthusiasm in the hidden beauties of the post card world: the new and the used ones - I have been encountering the mint post card collectors all the time but when I see a good and in depth approach - almost scientific, then I always see a collector eager to study the sent i e used postcards or stamps rather than the mints. Fine to learn that this is more and more usual criterion for the serious and sophisticated collectors.

index: "Hi stranger! I'm Ausra from Lithuania and I want to share my desire with you. You thought something bad, a? :) You shouldn't, because what I have is something more simple, but same crazy!

My desire is postcards collecting. It allows me to see places I never saw, to know about culture and countries so far away from me, to meet new people...
For me postcards is something warm and forgotten...

The collectors from the Baltic states are very common and some have outstanding collections tending to remember the old days of Hitxer's Third Reich - not very nice finding. Well we have to bear in mind that only these nations were allowed to have their own SS units and were running their own concentration camps - their Anti Jewish fervour and enthusiasm was praised many times by Adolf Hitl.r. I beg some of them is going to flag this post because they are glad to play double standard policy: pro-western and nationalistic or precisely speaking fascist in fact. If Goggles mangers would spot this post, I would be glad - if they do not have to many members from the Baltic ex Soviet States - to think about my words more than dismissing them as anti or hate content. Be aware that we can lose our liberty very simply and history is too bloody and repeating certain periond only because of plain business consideration is an extremely perilous game.

Gro's postcard site

Gro's postcard site: "The postcards I have for tradeing is updated.
I'm stilling working on the pages, so please forgive me if they don't work as they are supposed to.

Click on the flags to see the cards that I have from these countries"





Comment: Well at this moment I do not have too much material to rate the site, in fact this is probably the beginning of building a site. So I wish the collector lots of ideas in building an original I think predominantly Malaysian postcard site. Till then good by.

Postcards, Lithography, Senefelder, old stamps, collectibe

Postcards, Lithography, Senefelder, old stamps, collectibe




on Prague and Senefelder - some new features added - first of all the superb interactive translation Babylon box - from English you can translate to more than ten languages - this is to my mind a wonder, marvel of both linguistics and hi-end and the state-of-the-art software. This is a must try for every person who has to translate into and from many languages on a daily basis.

index: "Postcard collectors come in many guises. Some people collect cards because of their artistic merit, others for nostalgic reasons. The subjects, events and places that have appeared on postcards are almost limitless. Each postcard has its own story to tell. Old postcards of places or subjects can, bring back childhood memories and re-kindle long forgotten dreams. Subject cards can reveal the majesty of an ocean liner or the dignity of a lion.

My collection is mainly of cats and fantasy themes.

Within my online album you will find part of my collection of postcards. I hope that you will enjoy your stay."





A superb collection of postcards focused on cats seen from diverse human consideration on this species - what would they say remains uncertain and as I know the Dedham sextet they would make only very superficial investigation into the stuff - I as a human being call brilliant and mind-bending and enjoyable too. Fine
