Are old unused postcards worth anything are there any wed site i can go to look at them
Answers:
I believe the older the better. But the answer to your question may rely on what the photo on the post card is of. And if its a used post card, the value may have a lot to do with who's names were hand written on it. GOOD LUCK!!! The Missouri Crack Shot....
Value of Old Postcards
- Many people collect old postcards.
- There are clubs and magazines devoted to this hobby.
- Visit some antique shows and shops. Browse paper items at vendors' tables and see what they are charging.
- Many sell in the $3.00 to $10.00 range.
- With old postcards, the value is often NOT affected by whether they have been postally used or not. Obviously, the postcard may often be much older than the postmark. On the whole, cards that are real photos (especially of places) tend to be more popular with collectors than printed cards.
Note that cards of well known, well established tourist sights and so on, are often not worth very much. By contrast, a lively street scene dating from say about 1910 in a small town could be worth much more.
