Whilst clearing out my late Aunties house I came across these postcards and I am hoping that somebody will be able to give me some information about them, ie. are they collectable and of interest to collectors or fairly common and lots in circulation. Thank you very much for taking the time to reply.

Your aunt had some very nice cards. The Jennie Harbour examples have a book value of around £8/US$13 BUT usually sell for lower prices on ebay and elsewhere. Harbour is much collected, condition is all important. The others you mention are routine items about £2 per card.

I hope this helps

Reeks 5 Nr 26 A Van Dyck Charles 1
Nr 129 Raeffaello Santi Jeanne D'Aragon
Reeks 17 Nr 97 Pieter de Hooch Interior


1 card with these details - Albrecht Durer Kunstverlag Wolfrum, Wien I, Vert Nr 481
Thank you

Re the 'some more' cards, I've not seen them but from your descriptions they sound like gallery art reproductions so not of value.

If you are working though a lot of items then it can make sense to take them along to a local postcard fair, most dealers will be happy to help. If that's not an option then an eBay or Google search for each usually returns recent sale details.

Hope this helps
