We Buy Collections and Accumulations of Postcards |
|
|
|
The only way we can offer so many great postcards for sale is to constantly buy more -- we buy thousands of collectible vintage postcards every year. We recently acquired a collection of over 30,000 vintage postcards. Not long ago we purchased a huge number of Raphael Tuck vintage postcards, and another collection of over 600 vintage postcards, paper items and ephemera from the St. Louis World's Fair. We have also purchased numerous smaller collections & groupings of postcards, including a substantial number of vintage lighthouse postcards. The sellers of those collections all found us through our website & accepted the generous offers we made very quickly.

Please let us know what you have available for sale and we'll quickly respond. You should always try to describe your cards as best as you can via e-mail before you send us anything. If you have a price range in mind that you'd like to sell them for, please let us know.
|
|
|
|
There are three ways that we can purchase your collectibles -- use the method that you feel most comfortable with:
|
|
|
|
1. Pack your postcards securely and send them to us so that we can look them over. We'll quickly determine our best offer and let you know what it is by e-mail. If you accept our offer, we'll keep the shipment and mail you a check within 24 hours. If you turn it down, we'll ship the item(s) back to you within 48 hours (we'll need a bit of time to re-pack them safely).
|
|
|
|
If you use this method we strongly recommend that you insure your shipment. We can't be responsible if we never receive it, or if we receive it damaged by the postal system. If you turn down our offer (it’s never happened) you will be responsible for paying return shipping.
|
|
|
|
2. Send us as many scans of the postcards as you can, by e-mail. The more scans you send, the more information we'll have to base our offer on, and we may be able to offer you more than we would without them. Please try to include as much descriptive information as you can along with your scans in your e-mail. We'll quickly determine our best offer and let you know what it is by e-mail.
|
|
|
|
3. Send us as many photocopies of the postcards as you can, by regular mail. The more photocopies we can look at, the more information we'll have to base our offer on. Please try to include as much descriptive information as you can along with the copies. We'll quickly determine our best offer and let you know what it is by e-mail.
|
|
|
|
No matter which method you choose, we pay immediately - within 24 hours - after we've agreed on a price. No long waits.
|
|
|
|
Please keep in mind that as a general rule, the more information you can give us about what you have to sell, the better our offer might be. That’s why method 1 above, where you send us your actual items and we can evaluate them ourselves, will almost always result in a higher offer from us.

|
We look forward to serving you.
