Vintage US Views, Topic, Trade Cards and Foreign Postcards
Welcome to Moody's Collectible Antique & Vintage Postcards, your source for unique, unusual vintage collectible postcards! My name is Richard Moody and I started the company in 1986 and we have been accumulating "old" (otherwise known as "vintage collectible") postcards for twenty years. We specialize in United States view postcards but we also have thousands of antique foreign views, topic postcards and trade cards.
We have the antique postcards you need for that special view of your hometown, your genealogy pursuits, historical research, poster art, artist signed postcards or that special card for your collection of cats, dogs, lighthouses, Halloween, Santa Claus, Civil War monuments, railroad trains, ships, automobiles or whatever else you may collect.
According to the International Postal Union, over 140 BILLION postcards were mailed from 1907 through 1919 and millions more were never mailed. You can find a postcard on whatever you already collect or you can just look for postcards on the town where you were born to refresh your childhood memories. You can learn more than you ever dreamed about just searching through postcards and there are cards priced to fit every pocketbook.
Did you know vintage collectible postcards make a great and unique gift idea??? Vintage collectible postcards can be framed, and hung or displayed as vintage art, given in a memory scrapbook, or as a precious momento of a favorite place or special times gone by.

Vintage Collectible Trade Cards



These cards were the preferred advertising medium for merchants in the 1800s and were given away to promote businesses and products.



The high water mark for trade cards was the 1893 Chicago Columbian Exposition, which interestingly enough marked the beginning of the postcard age.



But trade cards begin to fade from favor during the yellow journalism period when newspapers and magazines loosened their advertising policies and courted advertisers while the new postcard collecting rage took hold and made collecting trade cards old fashion.



Trade cards cover many of the same collectible categories as postcards such as cats, dogs, elephants, cowboys, Indians, blacks, ethnic, comics, cupids, angels, Christmas and Santa Claus.


But these Victorian advertising trade card collectibles also cover patent medicines, cosmetics, perfumes, corsets, sewing machines, sewing thread, coffee, tea, farming, bicycles, jewelry, stoves, shoe polish, clothing, hats and soaps.


In addition, these advertising trade cards have some the most beautiful chromolithograph printing that you will see anywhere.


So take a nostalgic trip through the Victorian age and see the advertising and images that excited your grandmother and grandfather over one hundred years ago. You will not regret the time well spent.

- Interesting. I 'm a generalist hobby collector, but like the historic postcards that were actually sent to someone the best. I have a number of them from the 1940's that have been handed down by family members that I treasure.

- You have some nice cards. I deal in postal history, and get a fair number of post cards. I set up a lens on leather post cards that tells a story about Teddy Roosevelt, Teddy Bears and Valentines. I also have a lot of ship post cards at http://www.shipcovers.com. I invite you to check both out.
