Thank you20 years agolast reply 5 months agogloopy01Depressing postcards on eBay Too often, I come upon a postcard listing on eBay that just makes me feel sad. Listed as a “Buy it now†for $199. Condition - “ Minor wear and tear on front†See photos. Card probably has a value of $20-30. 6 months agolast reply 6 months agolbigfootLooking for a postcard printer or publisher from early 1900s with the logo RRL (probably German) The image shows a pair of Jews, presumably from Hungary in 1903. I have seen a copy posted from Poland, so the printer / publisher may also be Austria Hungary or Poland.

So many similarities (not in style/type that each is best known for among collectors of the postcards of course - RPPCs vs mainly lithos), but in subject matter and content of the images. So many... my opinions only, feel free to comment/disagree, i would appreciate hearing what the pros here have to say. 7 months agolast reply 7 months agodeltilogicalThe curse of Postcard Copy I think one of the reason my sales are going down is related to my own experience of trying to shop and finding the search results are mostly copies and fakes. It is so annoying and frustrating I give up quickly. I imagine many other people are finding the same experience. Its been tough enough wading through the sellers who relist every night the same boring unwanted material for years, but now there are all these reproductions clogging the already poor search results. Its not a new problem but seems to be getting worse. They steal other sellers photos, too. They should have their own category and be easily reported.

But I know enough about them to be "dangerous" as the old saying goes. I have a question about a RPPC (AZO). I recognize AZO as a top line RPPC maker and pay attention to them when circumstances warrant so. I found one and the seller (who is no doubt much more knowledgeable about RPPCs than I) lists the card as 1919. On the image side it has some text including "38-19." Can anyone that knows RPPCs confirm that the date is 1919? Part of the listing title is "Real Photo 1919 Seaplane at Naval Training..." if you want to look up the listing. Or if you need more complex clues to find it I can probably help and remain within ebay policy guidelines.
