Here in India I am buying cards with India motif from this very nice site called Postcards Ville I feel they are reasonably priced and I have got a couple of sets of Indian sceneries, lighthouses and others to send out.

If anyone lives in the Fargo, North Dakota metro area, Lee’s Hallmark Shop at West Acres Mall (3902 13th Ave S, Unit 3717, Fargo, ND 58103, United States) sells postcards!
That is a good place to get them.

Charity and second hand shops have postcards. I also visit flea markets. In many places there are giftboxes or freeboxes where you can get cards free of charge. Websites with local classified ads also have section “to give away for free”.

Hello, greetings from Northern California.
When I started Postcrossing, I always went to
Bookshops
Tourist areas of my city.
After talking to other postcrossers by meet-ups that’s when my postcard searching increased. I remember I traded with others, and then I was just asking around for secrets and hidden gems in the city for more postcards.
Thrift shops
Flea markets
Garage/Yard sales
These seem the best for me. I can usually get a box for a really low price.
For touristy cards or city local cards I usually go to Chinatown in San Francisco but the best I’ve had is in New York City around Broadway I remember getting 20 for 1USD

Postcards are generally sold in stationery stores and bookstores in China. Some scenic spots and universities have their own joint names or buy them on e-commerce platforms.

At the holidays, we went to the train station to drop off family members. I learned there’s a small gift shop and cafe there that has very reasonably priced tourist cards! Perhaps other cities and countries will have this too?
Seems reasonable since train travel is used more regularly in other countries, and passenger trains are not used as much in the USA, although I really enjoy it.

I’ve purchased postcards from all over: thrift shops, gift shops, sports stores, restaurants, etc. I’ve also had friends bring me postcards from their travels.
I also make and sell my own postcards, feel free to check them out

Where have you bought Lantern Press cards? I looked at their website and only see wooden postcards. TIA!
I’m sorry, what are Lantern Press cards?
Lantern Press is a US company that publishes postcards of National Parks, cities, and more. They are very colorful. A lot of people seem to want them and collect them. I’m trying to figure out places to buy them🙂
