Re: Modern Postcards - Photo Precision
Hi So nice to hear from you, a real shame PP went bust, they're such a sign of quality when I pick up an old card. Thanks very much for sharing your tales. I see in the shops of today a few companies have survived, namely John Hinde, Salmon, and Judges. Whatever happened to the other popular titles,...

Best Place to Buy Modern Postcards
Hi Can anyone recommend a good dealer to obtain semi-modern 1960's/1970's postcards from? I do a regular trawl through Ebay and pick up the odd one now and again, but costs may deter some people from posting single cards. I quite happily pay a couple of quid for a good, used card missing from my col...

From my recent visit to the Chester fair, the first for a long time, I too got a bit bothered by 'aggressive' dealers. I arrived soon after opening, and obviously a bit overwhelmed by the stock, had a quick scout around to see what was on offer. But sometimes I only had to glance at a table for the ...

Chester Postcard Fair
Hi Managed to get along to this fair today, for the first time in over 10 years. The last time I was more interested in the cigarette cards, but now my interests have switched to postcards. Picked up a few nice things, although as my interests lie in 'semi-modern' cards there's not immediately a lot...

It does seem chaotic, but it must have been a good filing system (for all those old postcard publishers) in pre-home computer days for them to keep track of their stocks. The numbers on Photo Precision go over 40000, so potentially they could have had a run of up to 40,000 different cards. And these...

Thanks for your reply, Michael. If the sticker on the packet only mentions the number, then it may mean that was their unique reference system, and any lettering prefixes were for secondary reasons. I'll follow that line of thought and see where it goes. I've nearly finished my detailed list. Some a...

Modern Postcards - Photo Precision
Hi Not been collecting too long, but put together a few notes/observations (and questions) based on what I've collected from this publisher. These are things I would have liked to have known as an aid when I started. If anyone can assist or add anything it would be greatly appreciated. The bulk of t...

Hello
Hi This is my first post as way of introduction. I live in Runcorn in North-West England, and collect topographical postcards of the surrounding area (Liverpool, Manchester, Chester), as well as North Wales, Lancashire, Cumbria and Scotland. I mainly stick to modern cards from 1960's onwards, becaus...
