<p>[QUOTE="J Dagger, post: 4605562, member: 10944"]This is a neat one! I just bought a 1,000+ lot of of pre ww1 era postcards via online bid at local auction. Didn’t preview lot save for online photos. Got it home yesterday only to realize it’s 98-99% European, which postcard wise is not good usually $$ wise. They are basically all landmarks, landscapes, touristy type cards. No wonder I got it at the price I did I guess. Still wasn’t cheap though. My bad there. Anyone know any European cards of that description that happen to bring better money than others? Can’t imagine there really are but could be. Like Lake Tahoe, West Virginia, and Hawaii cards are better than other American cards in general. I did pull one early Hong Kong card out that had been sent to the former owner rather than collected by them on their European tour. I guess the fact they seem to have all been collected by one person on one or more tours rather than complied later may add a bit to their value to the right person.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
