Wow! Those are cool old machines. You can really tell the fake real easy. May not be that easy without one to compare it. Great learning on post cards thanks
Thank you for a helpful video. Today many sports cards are "refractors", RPPC or real photo post cards from the early 20th century may be the original refractors. What can y'all tell me about Asheville Post Card Co.? I have many linen post cards published or made by Asheville Post Card Co in the great state of North Carolina. Also, how many post cards have Made in China printed on them?
I was so bummed today. I was going through a pile and found a two Halloween. One pumpkin, one witch and moon. I flipped them over, and they look like they were printed with a printer! You know... fuzzy edges and Pixelations. Also, they were thinner like card stock. He sure wanted $5 each though when the rest were a buck at most.
If I were to send you my post cards would you be able to tell me if they're real or fake? I buy oceanliner postcards and I just wanna make sure they're not fake. All of them are lithographs
Thank you for another informative postcard video. We especially appreciate your taking time to set up comparisons and contrasts to demonstrate authentic vintage or antique cards.
2 questions: 1) Can you use a black light to help? I'm strictly a novice but have noticed new postacards almost give off a bright glow under the blacklight and older cards do not. 2) is there a service for authentication postcards like they do with sports cards?
I have never used a light on cards bc I never bring one with me. As far as I know, there is no company that “authenticates” postcards. There are ones for trading cards and even signatures,… but not with postcard owners as a target market..
Also... the genealogist in me wants to let you ask know that the name Brittany wasn't used until 1966. So... that's another clue. Newer names like crystal, amber, Heather, etc... no.
Excellent topic for a video and very informative. Perhaps I've been lucky but I haven't seen a lot of fake or reproduction cards out there in the wild with the exception being on eBay where there a quite a few copies. I think it helps a lot to go to a postcard show or such and get a feel for what a lot of antique cards look like in hand.
I'm in Italy and I just bought a few vintage postcards for $8 I have 10 or so that says reproduction from the original the others do not and some have the separation line and some dont, they depict things from early 1900s and two cards are nude belle epoque, they are not used they are in really good shape so I'm sceptical about the authenticity.

Zip codes was a GREAT clue! We didn't have zip codes on postage until 1964. ;)
Hi cousin thank you for teaching me about postcards OMG 😱 I learned so much!

Helpful video for both newbie and longtime postcard collectors :)
Glad it was helpful!

Great value you are sharing in these guides helping me learn the basics when it comes to postcards and enjoyable to watch thank you
Glad we are able to help!

Glad it was helpful! Do you sell, or collect...?
@@RustyTheReseller I sell on eBay. Occasionally though, there are some cards I decide to keep for myself; so, I guess I am a collector too.
Very informative and well done.

@@RustyTheReseller Interesting, an opportunistic company could start grading post cards for an extremely small fee.

That’s a good point. I need to get out and try to go to one of those postcards shows.
Got them all right, do I get a cookie? Great content, thanks.

Yes. The writing. People can’t write in cursive anymore. Everyone wrote on postcards and letters in cursive 100 years ago.
