Hello

In all honesty it not the postcard that I collect but the stamp on it,I am currently collecting various example of Edward the V11 and George the V stamps.I have discovered an innate joy in going through postcards at various fairs and finding one that is of a colour shade or type that I am on the look out for.
As this is a more miss than hit approach I tend to stick with the damaged less wanted cards that are often found in the cheap box left at the end of a table with the hope of getting a few pounds from it.

My question is does a lot of unwanted less desirable cards accumulate to the point that you just want to get shot of them?

I do see the irony in this request as if not known before, I have now enlightened a few of you to the possibility of valuable stamps on worthless card,and this can be the case,if you know what your looking for

Cheers

Yes, it is certainly true that the backs of some of these postcards, especially the stamps, can offer a different reward: but only to the trained eye. I suspect that most dealers are not inclined to do the footwork involved here, so they are well pleased to be shot of the less desirable 'view' postcards.

At a postcard fair there are many dealers with cheap boxes, ripe for the picking... so get stuck in there!
