Collection of 50 vintage postcards, all of which were actually sent through the mail. Postmark condition varies across the lot: some cards retain full stamps and clear postmarks, others show only a postmark with the stamp missing, and a few have partial or faded postmarks from age and handling. Front images span a wide range of subjects, including downtown streets, skylines, bridges, trains, ships, churches, campuses, and scenic views like canyons and mountains.
Most date to roughly the 1940s–1960s, offering genuine postal history alongside the imagery. Many backs include handwritten messages, greetings, or notes from the original senders, adding an extra layer of character. A solid pick for collectors interested in deltiology, postal history, philately crossover pieces, or anyone who enjoys the personal stories written on the back.
Expect normal wear consistent with having traveled through the mail decades ago, such as creasing, corner wear, toning, or cancellation smudging. Since postmark and stamp condition varies card to card, no two lots are exactly alike.
Count: 50 postcards total, packaged carefully for shipping.
