Quick Note #3

Several people have asked me where I find the postcards you see here. About ten percent have come from postcard shows (like the big show held twice a year in NYC). Virtually all the others come from auctions on Ebay, and at least ninety percent of those come from overseas. Part of the fun has been receiving cards from sellers in England, Italy, Spain, Portugal, The Netherlands, Austria, Germany, Estonia, and Romania. And to answer an other common question, they range in price from $4 to $20 and before Paypal was established in those countries, I sent cash. It always got through! Lastly, let me give an unsolicited plug to two of my long time favorite sellers - Hahnco and Leapme, both on Ebay, and both in The Netherlands.

Quick Note #2

A bit of postcard information. If you noticed, the Norma Talmadge postcards are embossed all around the border. These cards were produced by the J. Beagles Post Card Company of London. I don't know much about the history of the company, but they were known for both their hand-colored cards and the beautiful embossing. And once again we see American movie stars given loving treatment overseas.

If anyone knows more about the Beagles company, please post.
