1950s to 1990s postcards

What's the best way to sell postcards ranging from 1950s to 1990s. 1 buy 1 or as a collection? I think I'd get more if I part them out ? Just wondering new to this and I have a lot sell of all different collection from coins to stamps to star wars to sports cards , matches, lol just keeps going thanks

I'd go with batches by topic. Town/aerial/ MOTELS/ hotels/ beaches .

But those modern Kodachrome cards are not much collected in my experience.

Cheap things are a good way to learn because when you mess up, and you will mess up, you will only lose a little dignity, not money.

 

It's hard to sell things you are not knowledgeable about.

For the stamps-- do you have a Scott catalogue?

You may find it in your public library - and at over $50 a volume for nearly a dozen volumes you should try to get it there.

And then read pages 13-15, the ones with the Nyasaland stamp of GeorgeVI before you try to use the catalogue.

EBAY fees is something you should consider if you plan to sell things "one at a time".    EBAY fees are based on (purchase price + shipping + sales tax) plus 30 cent transaction fee.    Better to sell items in batches (hard to make any profit selling things under $25).
