Where do you buy your postcards?

That’s where I got mine too, at tourist shops.

Thank you for the suggestions! I should go to museums more often hehe:)

That’s so interesting, thank you for sharing! Unfortunately I haven’t come across vintage postcards though I like them a lot. I’ll look into it more.

I recently came across an Etsy shop and I loved their designs, they’re so pretty! Thank you:))

I like them too! Especially since I haven’t had the chance to travel very much. I just think a lot of them are tacky or kinda ugly :grimacing: Some even have low quality photographs on them which is annoying. But overall I wouldn’t be mad to receive one!

hello, I’m new here, and as I edit my postcards that I also sell, that’s how I found this site and I like it! I have a choice with all my cards, for me it’s simple.

I did not put for all the countries because we cannot send to Germany it is difficult with tax, and I can add other countries. With etsy, you have to send by post, so it’s quickly expensive for other countries, 5 € under 100 g and 10 € if you exceed!

I purchased postcards from a website called Zazzle. There were numerous options to choose from. Search by what you’re interested in and you can find almost any type of postcard.

I found a new source for cards β€” a secondhand bookshop that specializes in ephemera. On my last visit, I found about a dozen very nice unused, prepaid β€œanywhere” postcards. The bookshop owner sold them to me for $2 each, which was a good deal as overseas postcards now cost $2.71 to send. I was so pleased!

I purchased mine off Etsy! However, I sometimes look through antique or vintage stores for cheap postcards. Gas stations in the USA tend to sell tourist-themed ones, where I get a lot of my Louisiana-specific cards.

That’s wonderful!

For affordability, my local best bets are:

  • local tourist shops – for touristy cards depicting the same handful of local β€œsights” over and over.
  • thrift and charity shops, especially church thrift shops – for cards of every imaginable type. (Tip: thrift shops often mix them in with greeting cards, which no one ever seems to buy, so you may be the only person specifically looking for postcards there!)

I also sometimes buy cards via Etsy etc., but only rarely as the shipping often makes the total cost too high. (I rarely order from the U.S.A. anymore because shipping to Canada is always via tracked shipping, now very expensive.) Zazzle is worth trying, especially if you wait for one of their 50%-off days!

Thank you for your comment! Although I don’t use Amazon because I live in Greece and it takes a lot of time, I’ve found websites like my favoritepostcard and Etsy.
