We have a postcard collection from about 1905 - 1911

Customer Question

We have a postcard...

We have a postcard collection from about 1905 - 1911 including, Christmas, birthday, best wishes, and photo cards. Most are stamped and with postmark. Most have a handwritten message. How do we determine the value?

Expert's Assistant: I always love having an appraiser look at my stuff. Sometimes its turned out to be surprisingly valuable. Tell us what else you do know and the Antiques Appraiser will be able to better assist you.

This is a family collection, all from the same woman. They were pastors and the cards are from parishioners around southern Michigan and Indiana. Some cards are embosses. None are artist signed - I don't think.

Expert's Assistant: Is there anything else important you think the Antiques Appraiser should know?

Condition is excellent. Most postmarks can be read. The stamps are green 1 cent.
