TODAYSGOLD TOP TEN

*MY VICTORIAN SANTA POSTCARD COLLECTION*
*VOLUME ONE*



* TODAYSGOLD TOP TEN *
* REASONS TO COLLECT VINTAGE & ANTIQUE POSTCARDS *

1 Vintage & antique postcard collecting is currently the third largest collectible hobby for collectors & antique dealers for resale worldwide.

2 Vintage & antique postcards are not only historical but they are beautiful because the rare antique originals capture colors that modern printing techniques fail to do.

3 Victorian Santa postcards are the most popular among the vintage & antique Christmas postcard collectors.

4 Collecting vintage & antique holidays & greeting postcards is not only fun but can be very rewarding.

5 Rare vintage & antique Santa, Christmas Angel & Valentine Cherub postcards can garner $35.00 - $350.00 & more for one fine, excellent to mint Victorian postcard.

6 The rarest holiday to collect for the vintage & antique postcard collector is Halloween.

7 Rare vintage & antique Halloween Black Cat & Pretty Victorian Witch postcards can garner $35.00 - $550.00 & more for one fine, excellent to mint Victorian postcard.

8 Rare vintage & antique one of a kind & Artist signed postcards like Louis Wain can garner $75.00 - $1550.00 & more for one fine, excellent to mint postcard.

9 Vintage & antique postcard collecting represents an era of the Olde World that has gone by, but kept alive through the enchanting vintage postcard collections.

10 Vintage & antique postcards will continue to remain an excellent investment.

* MOST AMAZING POSTCARD FACT *

The world's most expensive postcard ever sold went for $60,000.00 at a charity auction. The $60,000.00 postcard is a vintage Titanic postcard signed by a Titanic survivor. The postcard was displayed in the lobby of the Lunt-Fontanne Theater, where the musical the Titanic was performing.

HAPPY HOLIDAYS & BRIGHT BLESSINGS TO ALL, LYNDY

*I JUST HAD TO INCLUDE THIS FIRST COMMENT & MY REPLY*

~ Hello, I Google a lot & found you: TODAYSGOLD TOP TEN
This is great info on collecting postcards. You should write a guide book! I didn't even know about the $60,000 postcard & I collect vintage postcards. I hope you will write more about collecting postcards of any kind. Thanks for the advise & sharing some of your rare Christmas Santa Claus postcard collection.

You may find this book interesting because included in my art book will be OOAK Original One Of Kind postcards.

  11. Hi Laura, I'll finish my first Halloween Fantasy Black Cat Art book first before writing a another. But it's a thought about writing guide books for my various collections. Especially helpful hints on the subjects I'm will versed in.

    How is your book doing? Now how about a linked PR plug for your book:
