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.

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

For about 15 years I have been collecting world naval warship postcards. I have approximately 2000 postcards. The postcards are mainly pre-1945. The warships are from all over the world, predominantly the United States, Great Britain, France, and Germany. I also own some postcard views of the more famous warships of the 20th Century such as the Bismarck and Emden. Most of the warships in my collection are from the Pre-Dreadnought era (late 1800s to 1906).

Comment: This is certainly member of top ten postcard sites: it is marked by a. scientific precision of data, 2. perfect layout 3. logical and so instructive structure.
I have been amazed by the richness of the choice and still rigorous adherence to the theme.
No other site, apart from the Maltese Aiibus Captain site on airlines postcards.
I studied several section of this magnificent site and would like to emphasise the balance of the site in general
As deltiologist I would have only one recommendation: adding some information giving more information on a few vintage postcards, if possible, including e g whether it is mint or used, the stamps used, the cancellation stamps, when no considered in conflict with privacy laws (the postcards older than 70 years are in general considered as eligible) quoting the text on the back - or before 1902 (aprox) on the front.
Once again,

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.

We are retired and love to scour the countryside for rare and unusual items which catch our eye. Now, something has to move out to make room for the new, so we are offering these items for your consideration and selection:

Early 1900's Sheet Music including World War I era.

Early 1900's Penny Postcards

If there is anything of interest to you I will be glad to send you a more detailed accounting or picture. Just e-mail meno postcards on this site

I am sorry to say that my visit to this site was useless - the links to the auctions are dead and I could not find a single Penny Postcard, although I was trying quite hard.

My Collection of Edwardian, Victorian & Modern Postcards.

I really enjoyed this site. all postcards are of excellent authenticity and quality. A few are posted, i e used, adding the extra value of the time almost 100 years ago. The combination of tint and colour and photography is amost quintessential for this period. The subchapter on the Royal Post is a valuable resource for both philatelist and deltiologist.
