Selling Postcards

I have started listing a few old postcards lately.  A few years back I had quite a few listed, but got away from it.  There are lots of postcard collectors out there, so it’s a nitche worth exploring.  And, if you recall, my first interest in eBay started with old postcards.
Collectors often look for cards with interesting automobiles, specific buildings, people, and of course the older the better.  This card is of the Magnolia, Arkansas Court House in 1950.   It probably looks much different today!  Click HERE to see the cards I have listed.

When listing your cards, the description should always include a date (or general date) if at all possible.  When you have a postcard with a postage stamp but can't quite make out the year in the cancelled postmark it may help with this guide.
