Welcome to John’s Postcard Scrapbook, my name is John and this website is all about postcards, postcard collecting and postcard history. Like a physical scrapbook it can contain just about anything, whether it is words or images, so long as it is related to postcards it will probably find a place in my scrapbook.

What is this website about?

This website is all about postcards and postcard collecting, but in particular I would like to focus on the following areas:

• The history of postcards
• News from the world of postcards and postcard collecting
• A calendar of postcard fairs, auctions and exhibitions
• The history of postcard collecting
• My postcard collecting adventures
• My personal postcard collection

Who am I?

I have been actively collecting postcards for over thirty years now, prior to that I was just collecting postcards that were sent to me or were bought as a souvenir when we visited somewhere different.

My collecting interests are pretty varied, from old to new, across a wide range of subjects and places and sometimes just because I like the card, or because it interests me even if it is not one of my collecting themes.
