Just Sold the Card at the end. I have also sold most of the others. Lots of the RPPC"s are going into the Ebay Store This week!

I meant to say you should all also keep your eyes out for Rafael talk cards they are very popular and collectible

[@aliciajaramillo800]

Hi cousin 😊 I love all those postcards especially the town

[@billtaylor1010]

Thank you for another great video; especially the tip on looking for picture location on building signs.

[@RustyTheReseller]

Glad it was helpful!

Post meridian is the term, I believe lo.

[@misha9952]

You were thinking of Maiden Voyage for the sailors postcard if it hasn't sold yet. Love the videos Rusty!

[@wagnertheitalianflipper9047]

Cant believe those cards sell for that much and the hunt begins

[@henrys3629]

Hope the local antique reopens "after covid". Thousands of 25c antique postcards. I use a USB microscope and found some cool "hidden" things on postcards. Neat.

[@RustyTheReseller]

Oh wow! Whereabouts is that? We are in Western North Carolina.

[@henrys3629]

[@StephRenee812]

Im struggling on early 1900's area views and so on.. i seem to habe trouble reasearching online

[@RustyTheReseller]

the research part can be difficult if there is nothing written on the cards or on the back...

[@mindfullimage]

I have questions about particular stuff I have found and would love your help pricing it. Is it posible to contact you directly in any way? I don’t see links to any social media for you. Thank you in advance.

[@RustyTheReseller]

sure thing. email us at [e-mail]. Thanks.

[@mindfullimage]

@@RustyTheReseller thank you I will reach out!

Rusty (or anyone else)- the folks selling postcards in lots on EBay, 50 for $12 or 25 for $9, lots like that- in your opinion, have those sellers already cherry picked any cards worth selling individually?

[@RustyTheReseller]

100% yes

[@brianswitzerbbmw]

@@RustyTheReseller Figured as much- thanks for the confirmation. I'm a newbie who just found your channel today, BTW. Can't wait to dive into your videos on tools.

[@DRRISHI-qe5se]

Hello.. I am from India. My great-grand father was in BRITISH Army. Some British officer gave some postcards to my great grand father. I have some 40 post cards including some nude artistic postcards. Where to sell these??

[@RustyTheReseller]

In my experience the top places that you can sell them for decent prices would be eBay, Etsy, and a site called Hip Postcard

[@DRRISHI-qe5se]

@@RustyTheReseller thanks 🙏

I have a bunch of war photos and postcards from the 1912 peking war. Photos of what happened to looter like beheadings and hands cut off and left for dead ( not pretty ) and they've never been sent, only collected while our great great gpa was there with the USA army navy! This is a part of History the world does not want to know about anymore and I have no clue where and how to sell them because somebody out there needs to keep the truth alive. Can anyone tell me where I should turn to let these cards continue on, as history is not perfect but it is history and should never be repeated.

[@RustyTheReseller]

The best way to locate collectors for this specific thing, would be to search for vintage or antique postcard collector groups on Facebook. Post some photos and accept offers from people who want these. They can pay you through platforms like Paypal. You can email us at [e-mail] if you would like further guidance or have more questions!
