I know that custom categories help. Imagine a supermarket where the food wasn't organized by aisles and where it was always in a different place. I have a gentleman who buys about 40 cards from me once every month, and I know he just scrolls through one category. I love when I see his first order come in because I know there will plenty more.

Yea I like Categories as well!

Thank you for a good video. Enthusiastic, humorous and smiling. The crazy listings are fun too.

I haven't listed my QSL's either, they go to the antique booth. When I worked in radio, every once in awhile we'd get a letter or postcard from someone around the world that heard our station. It would need to be Am, not FM as the signals bounce differently. One time someone from Poland found us! We didn't have postcards to send back, I think the GM sent a letter though. My vote on the poll has changed - last weekend I got a 26 card order, my largest yet.

Cool Radio Girl! Those big sales are so GOOD! Thanks Julie!

Most dealers wanted QSL cards gone as fast as possible. I tried collecting one from each state going to the $1 ebay listings for a few. I like photos of operators. Postcards are now 44c.

I can't keep up with prices anymore! :) Thanks

I remember being excited when I got a box full of QSL cards. Little did I know the feeling wouldn't last. I've only sold about 5 of them. Now, I usually just pass them buy unless they are foreign.

Today I had a gentleman ask about a summer camp postcard I had listed. It was postmarked 1961 and he had mailed it home when he was 11 years old. I thought this was kind of amazing. Unfortunately, I had sold it months ago and have no history of where it went. Random story, just thought I'd share.

[@SMPostcards]

That's cool! I have some of the Navy Guys send me stories about the naval postcards and also had one person say that he was sure he stamped the Naval Cover I sold him in the 1950s as he was the only one on the ship for those years doing it. Thanks for Sharing Biff!

First time I ever heard of this kind of card. I put some on my ebay watch list. All the ones from my hometown seem to have ended up in Canada and are going for like $10 a card. I have my eye on one from another local town that's going for about $1.50.

Maybe you should do a video on how to make a billboard for an eBay store.

Yeah, I've had many QSL cards listed for over a year. I think I *might* have sold one, but maybe none.

[@SMPostcards]

I just checked and I have 15 QSL cards listed I did not even call them QSL cards , but called them Radio Cards :) Listed years ago!

[@chris9282]

Do you sell posted postcards? Or do you just list some special ones and do you find postmarks valuable? Thank you

[@SMPostcards]

I listed posted or unposted and yes some Postmarks can be valuable. This book can help you understand them more ebay.us/91adM0 - Postmarks - on Postcards by Richard W Helbock
