I can help... I can supply free web space, an SQL database and some php programming skills. I'll need work out how to configure some online forms for submitting data but the web pages displaying the info would be simple enough. We'd need to work out what fields we'd need in the database, date, name ...

I've finally got round to sorting the new 'applications'... There were about 750 out of which I've activated 10 new accounts - hopefully a few of these are genuine. ... though nobody out of the 750 had emailed independently (as we request) to confirm they were living beings. The other 740 or so I've...

As far as I'm aware the reduction in costs and overheads as a result of reducing the show down to three days has encouraged a few more dealers to participate..

If you've only got a small stock, a local postcard club is probably the best place to get started. Some may charge a small fee for you to deal but this is much less than taking a six foot table at a fair.

Don't worry about resurrecting this particular debate.. it has been going on for about 25 years already and looks set to continue. I think you've pretty much nailed it though, there can never really be a compromise but as long as dealers clearly mark their displayed stock AND collectors return the c...

I'm fairly certain Rob Roy supply albums with Polyprotec / Polypropylene pages, but you'd need to check with them.

Many postcards have survived in near perfect condition after being stored for over 100 years in traditional cardboard and paper albums. The Edwardians knew little if anything about archival storage, however experts today would discourage you from using these as the papers, card and glues used in the...

Thank you Andrew.

I've moved your post to Postcard Events.
