Postcard collecting (deltiology) is one of the most popular collectible hobbies in the United States, Canada and internationally, surpassed in popularity only by coin collecting (numismatics) and stamp collecting. The old antique postcard evokes memories of the past and provides an interesting glimpse into the social history, cultural history and material culture of the time. Known also as a “penny post card” and a “picture post card,” vintage postcards have been collectibles since their 1890s Victorian-era inception.

Old postcards are of interest to collectors of antiques and photography as well; RPPCs, in particular, are prized by the deltiologist. Historians and genealogists use vintage postcards to document historic events and family genealogy, while the philatelist (stamp collector) often collects old postcards for their DPO (dead post office) and RPO (railroad post office) cancels, or for attached Christmas seals. Often, philately and the interests of the deltiologist overlap. We also offer Victorian trade cards and other paper memorabilia.
Postcard collecting is an inexpensive hobby, and old postcards make great collectible gifts for Christmas, Valentine’s Day, birthday celebrations and other holiday occasions. See our variety of postcard gift certificates.
