comment: A site dedicated to coffee promotion and postcards are a useful tool to do ti. Nothing for a collector - except for a specialist in coffee free cards. the desighns are good. A few liks are dead or lead to betting and casino locations or cloaked as various kinds of competitions with 'you have won' they are likely to bring you to a MLM site.

LEROY'S HOBBIES AND INTERESTS
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.

Comment - a very good site with some unique postcards on offer - the atmosphere of the biggest and most glamorous city in Russia is reflected very well here. I can recommend to every serious postcard collector and the prices are more than favourable.
You are certain to find something very unique above all when you collect Russia.

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.

postcards, vilnius,
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:



comment:
A beautiful site with outstanding language. The maps collection is nice. What I have seen on the Ginte's site from the same Baltic state has some in common: love for Japan (I would suggest a there, a captivating one, postcards with reproductions of Japanese woodcuts), origami, collector may be studying Japanese, church motifs or themes.
And again, the mints are the only option. What would they ONLY say to the simple fact that the established deltiologic assoc of Miami does not consider postcards even stamps with cancellation stamp prints and written on as less valuable, but rather on the contrary?

A comment _ Whether postcard or not, these collages are worth a short post. All of them are very good designs, lovely assemblages of images. if they were sent in the 60 or so as postcards to no matter where and from, my joy would be even bigger and would know - if not breaking the privacy rights - what the back rear of the postcard was like? Perhaps the webmaster has the scan.

My Hobby of Collecting Postcards

"Through travel I first became aware of the outside world; it was through travel that I found my own introspective way into becoming a part of it."
- Eudora Welty











Isn't it everybody's dream to travel? Especially if it is travelling the whole world. Continent by continent; countries by countries. Dreaming is free but reality is we can't all travel the whole world. Good news is, I know a way how? Are you excited to know it too? Mmmm...ready to read this? The great way to travel all around the world is by collecting postcards. Yes! you read it right...it is the postcards!!!

I got hooked by these beautiful things last September 2003. As I was cleaning and organizing my things (a very hard task for me!) I saw all of my postcards from previous school projects, gifts from my penpals, families and friends who lived abroad and during my travels too. I saw the sceneries and then I said to myself "Oh how beautiful these places are!" but I thought it cost too much to go to those places. So an idea crops up, I should start collecting postcards and it would be like I've been to that places

Comment - a nice site - with philosophical thoughts and general ideas on collecting postcards - how a person realizes its very own beauties, gets hooked by deltiology. I did not find a huge display of postcards here, but those not for trade are all with no exception the best quality sent postcards, which in terms of nowadays trends in collecting are real jewels, in comparison to those mint and not sent, which give much less information on time and space and the postal services at their time.
