[QUOTE="Joe2007, post: 998006, member: 1262"]Hello Folks, How do you rank the desirability of certain holidays when collecting vintage postcards? Obviously there are going to be exceptions for particular cards but I'm looking for general thoughts. Here is my ranking; 1. Halloween - The most sought after of holiday postcards. Usually very collectable and in demand. Lots of opportunities for great subject matter. They seem to be fairly scarce or perhaps there are just in high demand and hoarded by collectors? 2. Christmas - Has lots of collectors and many great desirable cards but there are lots of less sought after cards too. Varies greatly based on subject matter and design attractiveness. I would think that all of the holidays Christmas postcards are most plentiful and are found everywhere. (Not quite sure how to rank the following) 3. New Years - Haven't see tons of these. Would think there would be room for great subject material. 4. Easter - Lots and lots of cards out there. Have seen some great ones though. Who can resist baby bunnies and chicks on a postcard? 5. Thanksgiving Your Thoughts? Have I missed anything? (I'm fairly new to collecting holiday postcards) Paging [USER=63]@cxgirl[/USER][/QUOTE]
