We’re always interested in purchasing antique postcard collectibles from the greater Nipissing, Parry Sound and Temagami areas.
The occasional duplicates for sale can be found using the search box on the main (home) page of VintagePostcards.org. Note: We never offer Dionne quintuplets materials for sale, out of respect for them. Three books have been written about the Dionne sisters’ lives: We Were Five by James Brough (1965); The Dionne Years by Pierre Berton; and Family Secrets. While all three books are out of print, you may be able to find them at online bookstores specializing in out-of-print volumes.
