Postcard Collection for Sale
Posted: Tue Jul 20, 2010 5:05 pm
I have "inherited" a postcard collection - 12 boxes of unsorted cards.
9 Boxes are around small shoe-box size (5"x12"x4" ish), and the other 3 boxes are each about 3 times that size.
So, I estimate several thousand cards in total - somewhere between 5000 and 8000 maybe?
There are too many for a non-collector (myself!) to sort through, but having a quick look there are lots of 80s/90s, some earlier, some later - and definitely some duplicated cards. The vast majority are unwritten (found 3 with writing), and in mostly in very good condition.
These have been kept in dry but dusty storage before I got them.
I'm after some advice -- I don't know how best to sell them - separate each box, or just (for ease) as a collection - i.e. one 'lot'.
I'm based in Kennington, near the Oval in Central London.
Any advice? (or offers!)
Best regards
Stuart
