Postcards

Does any one here also collect postcards or know someone who does?
I have a tightly packed shoebox full of neat, artistic postcards left behind by my late father and no idea how to value them.
Any help or suggestions would be appreciated.

Thankfully, he left a coin collection as well!

    I am not a collector of them, but I do own a few. I would not know how to value them either, but would check eBay for latest records. If you are looking to dump them, I am sure eBay may be a good place for them, unless there are some rare ones.

    I collect postcards with Zeppelin and airship themes.

    A rather limited interest though, I don't really collect beyond this.

    I collect postcards of a few towns important to me. I have had my best luck finding them on eBay because it helps you wade through tons of material of no interest in seconds. Bought one card from New Zealand!

    That said, remember that a lot of cards are common and will be hard to sell.
