The Postcard Emporium

Specializing in Views of Your Home Town USA







Vintage Postcards
For
Memory Collectors!






From the earliest postal cards to the modern racks, deltiologists have a wide assortment of subjects to satisfy every collection. Postcards have captured the events, exhibitions, disasters and developments of the times. Views of schools, churches, bridges and main streets have all appeared on a post card and today many times the only evidence of their existence in our rapidly changing world.

Many collectors have found that collecting postcards:
* Enhances the study of genealogy
* Are easy to display
* Takes up less space than many other collectibles
* Is Fun!

We want to be your Internet Postcard Store so we try to provide post cards from many:

* We double check each order for accuracy

Postcard Grades

It is necessary to have a standard grading system so buyers know what to expect concerning a cards condition. I use the standard system used by dealers and postcard publications as listed below:

Mint -A perfect card just as it comes from the printing press. No marks, or creases, and no writing or postmarks.

Near Mint - Like Mint but with very light aging or very slight discoloration from being in an album for many years. Not as sharp or crisp.

Excellent - Like mint in appearance with no bends or creases, or rounded or blunt corners. May be postally used or unused and may have writing and postmark only on the address side. A clean, fresh card on the picture side.

Very Good - Corners may be just a bit blunt or rounded. Almost undetectable crease or bend that does not detract from overall appearance of the picture side. May have writing or postal use on address side. A very collectible card.

Good - Corners may be lightly blunt or rounded with noticeable bends or creases. May be postally used or have writing on address side.

Fair - Card is intact. Excess soil, stains, creases, writing, or cancellation may affect picture.

Poor - Cards that are damaged and used as a space filler until a better one is found.
