I'm looking for someone to give me an estimate value on them
How do i know the dates...?(they are either stamped on the letters or written on them...you can also see them in the pictures)
Took some time to put them in order but it's worth it...:)
Waiting on your questions and offers perhaps...


Thank you in advance
Michael

Well, any estimate is subjective - with postcards it's generally what a buyer perceives as good value to him/her - and whether they are for onward sale or not to interest a dealer.

In my opinion, the two lots showing cities are the best valued items: I would estimate them at between £2/3 each retail, perhaps more for some - the rest at 50p/£1 each retail. Downside is that there is a lot of writing on most of them - but they are nicely used examples and may even interest a stamp/postmark collector.

Presentation is good - well done - bit annoyed with the pop-up ads when viewing them, however. (I hate adverts) - and you don't state where you are geographically - I am in the UK - Suffolk -

My advice as always is to get them to a Postcard event near you and speak to dealers there to get best price.

best luck with them
