    Been doin' that fer years. image

    So far it hasn't had much impact on my research, but the postcards grew into a collection in their own right.

    I should post some of the ones I just got the other day...

    i was actually able to narrow down a search area by looking at some old postcards at a site this past spring.....i knew where the site was, but the post cards let me know where the masses congregated.....i found 7 pre 1900 coins...i was happy!......i have a few other spots yet to hit that i've discovered from post cards, and i'm hoping it pays off....take care.

    I love old post cards! I've looked at several at the local Historical Society.

    They can help with research I'm sure.
