Yep as the title says, who collects postcards?

Only if relevant to my family research.

You got some interesting ones Andrew you are getting rid of?

I have quite a few interesting postcards and postal history items myself, but I am not getting rid of those for now, its just that I have something here that needs a good home, so do you collect them ?

What is it you need a good home for Andrew do tell I'm intrigued now

I dabble in collecting postcards -- or as much as time allows when still working. Did you know a collector of postcards is a Deltiologist -- on of those scraps of information I collected from somewhere.

Lloyds Bank has just had its 250th Birthday, as part of these celebrations Lloyds has issued a set of 10 postcards documenting key moments in the banks history. When I went into work, they had a couple of stands with these postcards, basically help yourself, being late in the day, it was apparent a lot of people had taken a load, only a few of us start at 2pm, so I helped myself without any guilt.

it was a shame that they did not give us a day earlier, as I would have liked to have sent a few in the post with the anniversary date cancellation on the postcard.

Couple of days later and stands restocked, so I helped myself to a few more sets.

Here is thumbnail strip of the 10 cards, obviously the thumbnails have been zoomed in and cropped!
