Author: How do you know if you have an antique post card or greeting card? My granmother- in – Law Just passed away and she seemed to share the same passion of collection postcards and greeting cards as I do! She was VERY BIG on collecting antiques as well and some of these cards and post cards look REALLY OLD! I dont want to mail something that could be worth a whole lot more than 42 cents.

Post Cards usually have some sort of can be undivided or divided, but usually have a place where it notes postage is due. Post cards started out as personal mailing cards and would be hard to tell from a single sided greeting card. Pick up a book on collecting post cards and learn the difference in age from card to card. I’d suggest The Postcard Price Guide by J L Mashburn. Please what ever you decide, post card or greeting card, don’t just slap a stamp on it and pop it in the mail.
I agree with above.
Ha, just put up an "antique" site a few days ago: http://www.antique-glassware.net
