Determining the value for vintage post cards is a subjective process.
As a deltiologist, I do my best to put a fair value on items at a bargain price!
I do careful research before listing an item in order to determine an honest price.
I determine the value of vintage post cards by
the age, the rarity, the condition, the publisher, and the interest of the postcard’s subject.
Take a trip down memory lane with the magic of a vintage picture postcard!
The postcard photos and images serve as a historical record of the past.
Evoking memories of time past and of how things used to be.
A truly historical look at our roots from a different time and age.
A vintage postcard is great for your scrap book
or
School projects!
Buy with confidence!
Money back guarantee if item is not as described!

Era |
Photochrome Era (1939-ongoing) “Chrome” postcards began to dominate the
scene soon after the Union Oil Company placed them in its western service
stations in 1939. Mike Roberts
pioneered his “WESCO” cards soon after World War II. Three-dimensional postcards also appeared
in this era. By 1960s, the standard
size of cards had grown to 4 x 6 inches. Photochromes
are not real photos but rather, printed cards done by a photochrome
process. To distinguish a printed
postcard from a real photo postcard, examine it under a magnifying glass and
you will see the dot pattern that is characteristic of printed cards. |

Printing Technique |
Photochrome 4-Color Process printing Full-color
images are created on the printing press by applying separate layers of the
Cyan, Magenta, Yellow and Black inks. Photochrome cards were both more
realistic looking and less expensive. Thousands of colors can be reproduced
by overlapping these CMYK colors in various concentrations. Applied as tiny dots on the paper
the four CMYK colors combine to create the visual effect we know as full
color printing. |
