1880-1915 German and American Postcards

greenspun.com : LUSENET : The Exchange: A Forum for Antiques and The Arts : One Thread

I have several hundred postcards from the period 1880-1915 that my great grandmother received after emigrating to USA. What/where do I contact for accurate appraisal. I also have @90 informational historical/hero/presidential 3x5 booklets from John Hancock Life published between 1920-1940. Is there currently any interest in these? THX,TK

Most states have postcard clubs - and there will be someone there who can help you with an appraisal - both of the postcards and of the John Hancock booklets. If you can't find your local postcard club - let me know and I will get you the address of your state's club. Generally foreign cards are worth about .50 each - some more. Most postcard collectors also collect other paper "stuff". Katie
