I love sorting post cards. Got a couple thousand on my desk right now. My "keepers" mostly.

Are you informed on postmark collecting? I have had some buyers go through my cards just to look for collectible postmarks. I should know more about that.

Some years ago I bought a postcard collection at a library sale. They had belonged to a retired architect. He collected them in England about 1910. That was a really fun bunch, and all mint. I still have quite a few of those.
