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 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.
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:
