    The lost nostalgia of postcards is sad, indeed. I was always fascinated by them, too, and spent many an hour in my youth looking at all the postcards in the revolving stand, looking for the best ones for collecting or sending to relatives! I think I must have sent most of them to other folks, because I only have a couple left, in a box somewhere, I think.

    I don't go many places these days, and even fewer with those old fashioned post cards. However, if you DM me your address on Discord, I will keep you in mind the next time I am near a postcard rack! 😊

    Postcards were always a family tradition with us, and it was fun receiving in the mail pictures of places people were visiting. I had not really noticed but you are right - they pretty much have died out. Admittedly I don't send them because I hardly ever go anywhere - but all I get in the post now are bills and junk mail. And junk mail bills.

    Of course the best way to share your holiday snaps nowadays is to put them in your Steem Blockchain based blog - and e-mail the post link to everyone you know!

        I don't send many anymore. Two, in fact one to each of our mothers - and that won't be for much longer :(

        I did recently make postcards to send out to tell people my mum had moved to a care home, and popped my email address on them. Had quite a few emails back from people thanking me for the cards. I wonder if (like vinyl) there'll be a resurgence in them (and birthday cards) when people suddenly realise it is nice to get things through the post

          I have heard that some old postcards are collectors items.

          Oh yes, you see them being sold at book fairs here in France (and elsewhere I imagine). I am sure some of the rarer ones fetch quite a lot.

            I love the whimsical feel of postcards but I also have to think of the cost to the environment paper presents. There is more to digital media then just the instant gratification aspect . I only buy digital or vintage books for example because I refuse to cause any more harm to our planet then we already do ... I guess if we used recycled , or hemp paper on the postcards it could be sustainable but currently cards are not made that way in most cases. Yes it is unromantic but we are living on a dying world we need to start thinking about everything we can do to save her ...

              I could not agree with you more. I am also a tree hugger and like breathing the air they provide!

                  I still love postcards, particularly retro design ones. I used to send them randomly to friends when I travel, but sadly stopped doing that.
