How Do You Find Postcard Shows?

[tornado-lynn]

How do you search for upcoming postcard shows in your area? I have tried searching the Internet, but I usually get directed to stamp or coin shows rather than postcard shows! Lynn

Hi Lynn, You can find out when a show will be in your neighborhood by checking the events section in your newspaper, small town papers especially. Once you attend one you can sign up to be on a mailing / email list and they will let you know when the next shows hits your town. You can also check on the internet, just type postcard shows on any search engine and they will pop up. I have even been put on a list by purchasing a card from a dealer who attends shows. Hope this helps.

🙂 Thanx, riverboatqueen! I am finding some local sales now using that search term. 🙂

If you are in, or visiting the UK, I find http://www.postcard.co.uk/fairs.htm very useful. Paul

Lynn, Try looking for stamp shows too. I sell more stamps than postcards, and whenever I go to stamp shows I see dealers selling both stamps & postcards - there's a lot of overlap in the collector demographics. Have fun :) Diane

That's a good idea, Diane. I'll keep an eye out for the next Stamp Show in the Orlando area... Lynn

Regional Antique Guides are our best source. Flea Markets are sometimes the best finds, but iffy. We have a list of auctioneers that email us with offerings, helps us both out.
