An Introduction

My name is Megan and I'm a postcard dealer. While it isn't something that I never thought I would do its something I enjoy very much. I get to 'meet' some really nice people and here about their interests and collections and I've learned allot about different cities and towns. You can visit my store at www.PlethoraofPostcards.com. At the moment I have approx. 3400 cards for sale and many more which have not been listed.

Postcard collection is a hobby to fit many different budgets and life styles. The price can range from twenty five cents to thousands of dollars for a particularly rare card. Antique or vintage postcards make great art and are also small and easy to store.

People collect cards for as many different reasons as there are cards. You can collect cards of the place you live, the place you were born, a hobby or sport you like. I've sold to people collecting postcards of there home town who are trying to collect every postcard published of that place and to people who are simply buying one card of the church they were married in or the hospital where they were born. People also collect cards of a mind boggling number of topics and themes from Santa Clause and Halloween to postcards or lobsters or money.

I myself collect postcards that were illustrated by my great-great-great grandfather John Hassal who was a British children's illustrator. Here are a few examples of some of the cards in my collection:
