If you plan to do this, we will invoice you once a week (on Sunday) for all purchases made during the previous week.  If you plan to take advantage of our rebate program, please pay for your purchases with one paypal payment, using EBAY’s checkout system.  You can always pay for your purchases at any time after your shopping is complete, but requesting an invoice from us.

SHIPPING:  All cards are shipped free of charge in the U.S. no later than the day after payment is received (excluding weekends and mail holidays).  Your purchase will be protected in a secure, rigid, cardboard mailer, each card in an individual plastic sleeve.  Tracking information is uploaded to your EBAY item number at the time we print the mailing label.  Because our mailing labels are printed directly from EBAY, it is not possible for us to adjust the value of purchased items on the customs form for international shipments.

HOW WE GRADE OUR POST CARDS:  If you are a repeat customer, you will know that we are a conservative grader of cards.  Please look at the photos carefully, as we show both front and back of the card.  We would rather have you be pleasantly surprised than disappointed when you receive your cards.  Each card is carefully graded before we list the item and appropriate notations regarding the condition are provided in the item description.  “Good” is the highest grading that we use as all of our cards are old/vintage, and may have been postally used. 

     GOOD may mean cards that are clean, with no (or light age-related) apparent wear; or it may mean that the card has light corner wear, light edge wear, a light crease/creases, a small rip or tear in the border area, or a trace of ink from the cancel showing on the front. 

     FAIR + TO GOOD, or FAIR means moderate corner and/or edge wear, or more than one crease or border tear, or moderate soiling.

     POOR TO FAIR means corner wear, edge wear, significant creasing and/or significant soiling or border tears.

     POOR is a grade that we seldom use.  It indicates a card that is on the brink of being tossed in the trash, but is offered for sale because of subject or historical significance.
