Re: Best Storage method please
Excellent. Thanks for the reply. More questions...... how many cards (in their pockets) fit in a 286mm box ? Also, I'm struggling to find a picture of the boxes on offer. Are they fairly robust ? Do they come ready made (so to speak) ? Thanks again. You should be able to get your 650 cards into two...

Re: Best Storage method please
Hi everyone, Can anyone help with a little advice on storage please? I'm a novice with postcards and have never collected, however, I've just been given an amazing old family collection. I've counted approx 650 cards - in my simple terms, many are absolutely superb dating from around 1900. Lots of ...

Re: Postcard took 27 years to be delivered
On at least one occasion a packet of old cards being sent to me has come open in transit, and arrived with some of the contents missing - it's quite possible that some of the contents ended up being delivered to the original addressee.

Re: To eBay or not to eBay?
How to get ebay reputations at the beginning? Since, I haven't sell anything I have no feedback. I want to enter a market. I probably will have only one or two competitor so since it's a monopoly I want to break it. However customers pay attention to sellers feedback and I don't have. So should I t...

Re: Verdier Ltd. London, W. Postcard Printed in England
Tony Byatt's "Picture Postcards & Their Publishers" gives 1909 as the year the company began to publish postcards, rather than ceased to.
Their full name was Leon Verdier Ltd of 10 Dean St, Soho, London.
Apparently they were still publishing cards after the First World War.

Hi Chris According page two of this thread: http://www.postcard.co.uk/messages/postcard/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=551&st=0&sk=t&sd=a&start=15 it looks unlikely that a checklist exists for their comic postcards. If it is the Song Cards you are interested in the situation is more promisi...

Re: Can anyone help.
Hello Andy That is George V in the centre, with the future Edward V111 on the left (when Prince of Wales) and the future George V1 on the right (then I think known as Prince Henry?) Dating I guess from the 1920s era. It doesn't look like a commercially produced postcard (which in this case could be ...

Re: Death of Postcard seller Staplehurst
To be fair to eBay they have to be absolutely certain that any such information is true, and not the work of a malicious third party.
Having said that though they ought to be more proactive in seeking to confirm such reports, the recent feedback received is pretty conclusive in itself.
Sad news.

Re: eBay starting prices
It's actually very dangerous to set a starting price on eBay of much less than what you actually you want for the card - examples such as the one you give (value £12+ actually sold for around £2) are far too common for that. It does need two keen potential buyers to get any competitive bidding going...

Re: Dealers' pencilled marks. Agh!
I'm surprised no one has thought of this idea, a white label stuck on the plastic then all the details, price codes + all other info can be written on. Then nothing needs to be written on the card at all, the card placed in the plastic with the sticker to the back. Problem solved. :D For security r...

Re: Lack Of Seating
I totally agree that it's great to have chairs available, but some venues don't provide all that many in the first place, and priority has to go to the dealers, who are increasingly decrepit these days, and can't be expected to stand up all day. However there is often a stack of chairs elsewhere in ...
