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 on offer. Vintage cards are nicely organised by county and town, modern are haphazardly thrown together in a shoe box! Eventually found one guy who had a nice combination of old and new, and rewarded him with the most purchases.
Personally I find the 1960's/70's cards to be fascinating - recognisable of how the place is today, but still not exactly the same. Classic cars, fashions, and long-gone shop names. Great for showing people at work too!
Still, a nice day, real glad I managed to get there. Anyone else from here get along to it?
