<p>[QUOTE="Figtree3, post: 1976072, member: 33"]There are many many holiday cards of this nature out there. I have quite a few myself, as I was collecting them for a while.

Many of the ones I have do appear to have been printed with a photographic process (and some were not). So I do think that from a technical aspect they could be considered real photos. But, the phrase "real photo postcard" has taken on a meaning different from just having a photo on a postcard. I believe that is what [USER=31]@Bookahtoo[/USER] is referring to.</p><p><br /></p><p>UPDATE: Also, there are what are called "photomechanical" processes that are a combination of photographic and other printing techniques.
