Barr's Post Card News Lansing Iowa

[oldmagazines]

Does anyone collect back issues of this Post Card Collector publication?  It is full of photos of postcards with pricing information.  I have a big lot of issues from the 1980s listed on ebay.

I look at those old issues with melancholy,  the hobby was much more dynamic then.  They are fun to read, I've bought lots for a few dollars at postcard club auctions.

What I'd find very collectible would be publications from the original era of postcard collecting.  And catalogs for old publishers.

Thanks for your reply.  I had no takers for my lot of Barrs. They took up a lot of room and are costly to ship.

I've been digitizing (scanning) most of all of my rags for future reference.  There is always a bit of of interesting information them.  I usually will buy them and similar items at a pick or auction, but I would never purchase them online (too expensive).
