I know I really shouldn’t because I’ve got many cards but it was a steal!
@EmmaG Please let me know if you’re still interested in the mice cards, I’ll send you a PM if you are (my PMs are closed)

Dear Ana_Karp: I know this trouble with purchasing extra postcards…But is there really ever such a saying as having enough postcards? :~)
Pardon me, while this post is a few years old, I couldn’t help but add my reply. Once I start collecting something, I have a really hard time stopping! I’ve even considered purchasing a little, rectangular container to bring with me on my adventures to different places so that I have a secure place to store postcards during travel.
Postcards come in such a variety of photographs and graphic art, it’s really hard not to scoop them up when I’m out-and-about, or when I somehow happen upon Etsy and cannot help but perusing every online shop!
My mum has even began endorsing into my postcard-collecting passion. I love having the perfect postcard individualised to the person I am sending it to… So, having a variety of unique postcards is just become wonderful.
So…Too many postcards?? That’s not a thing! :~)
Cheers, Snowbird28

I found this postcard book at a yard sale 
They are black-and-white photos of Italy that the artist-photographer then hand-coloured in “earthy pastels”.
How could I leave it behind? Only twenty-five cents! (Canadian cents. That’s 15 cents American! 
)
Yet:
I do not live in Italy!
I’ve never been to Italy!
I do not know if anyone will want these cards!!
But the cards are really lovely … hmm

I feel so lucky today! I bought postcards on an online 2nd hand platform and went to get them this morning at my delivery point.
I love Cavallini, the vintage black and white photography by Doisneau, Botanicum and all 108 (!) Mirabelle postcards! The latter are a bit thinner than normal postcards (panini postcards), but I’ve sent similar ones from Gorjuss before without a problem.

Where do you find these?
I went to a coin & stamp show being held by a local coin & stamp club. There were a couple people selling stamps and I told one that I spoke to that I was looking for older stamps to use for postage. He showed me all the sets of stamps he had for sale (in groups of 100) and that he was selling them for 60% of face value. I was so excited. I got a set of 20 cent stamps and a set of 29 cent stamps. I would google stamp shows in your area and see what you can find. This was my first time going to a stamp show and it was well worth it.

Yes! 
If it is cards I love myself I buy one for myself and some to send off, as I love to have a variety of cards to choose from.
The zoo cards are expensive though and I rarely send them as official cards. More likely for special exchanges or to friends, penfriends,…
When I went on holiday, I always bought lots of cards (mainly for my collection), and often very many of one picture, that I sent out to all my friends. That is really practical, if you often visit the same place (last time I sent everybody cards of this castle, now I’ll send this church,…).

(<- but my mailbox looks nothing like this!)!
