Post Cards
Collecting all the post cards out there is likely impossible. You set out to get just the one you want, yet somehow, you always end up with more. I haven't managed to collect all the cards on my wish list just yet, but you never know when you might come across one or receive it unexpectedly.
Photo Slides
There's so much to say about these fascinating photo slides. Each square or rectangular piece of film encased in cardboard offers a unique glimpse into moments of family life, pets, everyday experiences, and countless other subjects captured through the lens. As a train enthusiast, I’ve recently developed a keen interest in collecting these slides. Many of them are truly one-of-a-kind, particularly those featuring locomotives or locations I’ve visited and cherish. I typically discover these treasures on eBay, but I also enjoy hunting for them at estate sales and antique shops. I also occasionally get them as gifts.
Welcome to my archive, or library—whichever term you prefer.
*If you happen to be interested in this niche, or if you are a photographer that took one or more of these or a family member of one, I would be thrilled to connect, trade info, and discuss further photo slide sales.
