Vintage Postcards - Dealer Thrilled by Amazing Find

[@stumandry5703]

Seriously good collection. I recently bought about 60 WW1 era postcards in auction for £10. Made about £200 so far with plenty yet to sell. Was never into postcards but I am now!

[@AntiquesArena]

Hi Stu, Thank you for your comment mate, i have learned the photo postcards pull the big bucks but i should do really well with the early printed ones i got some amazing subject matter on them.

[@rockrollresale2668]

Real photo Postcards of these subjects bring the high dollar amounts you mentioned. Still a nice lot.

I'll admit Walter I'm a bit jealous! Years ago I used to collect vintage/antique postcards and nowadays try to find a good ones to sell. I've never had a score like this! Can't wait to see them all. :)

I have some very old postcards 1900's that have stamps on them and postmarks of course but the postcards are beautiful I have a friend that had a great grandmother that she used to get them to make ideas for her painting she was an artist I would love to to sell them if you like I send pictures

Very useful video. It makes me think I must look at the box of 1900-1930s postcards I have been avoiding for a year! I just find the research so difficult. I have a Louis Wain one and I cannot find the image on it online anywhere. I am not sure if I have something rare or if I am rubbish at research!

Hi Laura, Thank you for your comment, printed post cards can be hit and miss, if you see photo post cards they sell for much more but subject matter sells them, still very much worth looking at.

[@iceblueni]

Nice collection Walter, if had of been real photo's would have been a bonus, will still do very well :)

[@AntiquesArena]

Hi Gary, i wish they were the photo postcards, but the subject matter and the fact they are all early i should have a good earner mate

[@TheRamblingsofBry]

Excellent collection. This is a great channel, apart from the fact you never look into the camera, always off to the side.............

[@AntiquesArena]

Hi Thank you for your comment, i will try to look at the camera more.

[@Oldmaninthestream]

Thank you very much Leonard

It is very hard to find good info for postcards on line.. I have so many daying back to late 1800's even those cute valentine's cards these you can tell are from late 1800's . Does anyone know how I can tell what ones are worth keeping and which ones are worth nothing that I can at least figure out if I should sell or donate or something..

[@AntiquesArena]

Thank you for your comment there is a lot to consider with post cards. Some people collect for post marks. Others collect picture post cards and they are very valuable. While some people collect for the image. The best thing you can do is list them on auction making sure to get good images of the post marks and leave them run to find their own value. Millions of post cards are worth less than 1 pound but they will find their own level in auction. Making sure to use the right keywords and if you list lots you could get repeat customers

[@MayfairMagic]

You can clean gently with a soft rubber, rubbing in one direction carefully

[@AntiquesArena]

Thank you very much for that i will have a go at that.

[@mikeamos5044]

unfortunately your postcards, are Hong Kong not mainland China so have lesser value than the Chinese versions however a couple of them do have sought after treaty port postmarks on them, also your cards are printed, and not real photo which do fetch big money

[@AntiquesArena]

Hi Mike. Thank you for your comment, it is a shame they are not the photograph postcards i agree but there will still be good value here, i bought about 200 for £50 and there are plenty of the ones in todays film sold between ten and twenty pounds as printed examples, they are even selling repro printed cards for a fiver each.

[@darrenmaddox6074]

Did you make a lot on the postcards as I have a few Chinese execution ones ?

[@daleHarrison93]

they worth alot try find out where from

[@Jeremycorbin]

Hi mate real photos are what you need to look out for

[@denisesclater759]

It's July 4th where I'm at....

[@doniphan72ify]

So if something is 100 pounds, what would that be in U.S. Currency ???

[@daleHarrison93]

quick google search easy to see that...around $137 and change your dp guns aint cool bro

[@doniphan72ify]

@@daleHarrison93 ... You don't like guns ? Sorry it bothers you.

[@elrima1]

sorry walter your postcards are not worth a lot they are just the common printed ones its the real photo ones that make big bucks.

[@AntiquesArena]

Hi Thank you for your comment, i agree they are not worth as much as the photograph postcards, however there is still enough of a following on ebay for the early printed ones depending on subject matter, there are plenty of the early printed cards between £10 and £20 and when i paid 50 for a couple of hundred the return will be superb.

[@MayfairMagic]

Chinese postcards goe for a fortune

[@AntiquesArena]

Hi Katharine, Thank you for your comment, i have learned from making the film the photograph ones sell for the big money but there is a good market for early printed ones too so i will do good. just a shame they wernt the ones worth hundreds each.
