<p>[QUOTE="mmarco102, post: 4309377, member: 8289"]A nice collection , as I too have hundreds. Most of yours are 60’s and later(very little if any value although they can only go up from there <img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/wink.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=";)" unselectable="on" /> ). You do have some linen cards(1930-50’s) that can fetch around $1-$6 on average. And of course a few from earlier 1900’s. About same price range. Some rarer cards can be very collectible and will bring in much better sales, but these are often older holiday card and special events in history. Without seeing the stamps up close and personal, I would say that they hold little to no street value as those were printed by the billions. The value would be in the scarcity of a error or short run. Better to keep them on the postcard as there are those that collect postmarks. Just my humble opinion and you should hear from others.</p><p><br /></p><p>I keep all of my cards in photo albums with postcard sleeves to help prevent foxing. as always, condition is everything[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
