[QUOTE="SBSVC, post: 329651, member: 136"]Joe, that [B]was[/B] a very interesting article! Thanks for sharing it. I think the most telling parts were about the ages of the collectors & the members of that club. (Just like so many other "collectibles" areas, I'm afraid.) I also like that one gentleman's comment: [SIZE=4]“[I]I started as a collector, but like all kinds of junkies, you eventually have to become a dealer to support your habit.”[/I][/SIZE] I have never considered myself a "postcard person", but I do have an awful lot of them for a non-collector! I have dozens of embroidered silk PCs from WWI, all sent home by family members serving overseas. As for "regular" & RP PCs, I have hundreds of old ones: from my college, from places I've lived, from places I've visited... They all have some personal connection, at any rate. I can only say that I'm very thankful that postcards don't take up [I]too[/I] much room![/QUOTE]
