    The conventional wisdom would be that most antique mall and antique shop vendors would properly research their wares to make sure that they are not leaving too much money on the table. But through some digging I've found that this is not always the case and that a good half of dealers selling postcards don't really have any idea of what they are doing and may greatly underprice better cards. So the next time you are in an antique store and see a bin of cards it may be worth a bit of time to pick out a few better cards.

    A few more from an antique mall. A very touristy mall and hence very picked over but I think I got a few nice cards for the price.

    A dealer had a large pile of postcards at an antique mall so I dove in and started searching for cards to add to my hoard. Not too many older cards in the dealer's boxes but I found a few nice ones which I purchased.
