Postcards, small collectibles, and Tupperware key chains are just a few of the items I began listing on eBay several years ago. Now, classic-la tends to limit itself to postcards, old books, paper items, and lots of Hollywood memorabilia, etc. I have shipped over 100 vintage postcards sold through eBay. I also offer a variety of books, CDs and movies at half.com.
I have been collecting, buying, selling and trading old postcards for several years now. Like most collectors, I concentrate on certain themes and topics I like myself, but pick up something different now and then. Reading the message on a card can itself be an hilarious and educational diversion. Without telephones, for example, gentlemen had to send postcards or even leave a card with a guardian asking their sweethearts to a show. Just about every facet of daily life is mentioned over time as postcard types, styles and topics changed.
Since someone collects just about everything, from the first unofficial private mailing cards, to the successful celebrity cards popular later, I try to locate and sell a variety of types, topics and styles of cards.
I enjoy searching for cards in vast and diverse locations. I must have a card for you or be able to find one, so please send me your wish lists, etc.
I am partial to real photograph cards of Hollywood Celebrities during the 1920's to 1940's, especially the various British Picturegoer Series, and theatre cards from almost anywhere, especially if they are identified and show interiors.
Since I have lived in Southern California for over 15 years, I have a keen eye for important cards from this great region. I believe at least one of my cards will interest you.
