I have old postcards from hundreds of Dutch cities and villages from my inheritance. Which places are most sought after by postcard collectors to offer up for the Wiki auction?

Same for the period. There are maps 1900-1920, 1920-1950 and 1950-1975. Are you interested in the latest period?

All cities are in demand, whereby of course the "rare" cards yield more.

Cards have collectible value as size 9x14cm (small format). There is not yet a collective market for newer cards 10x15 (large format).

The forum is not intended for this! If you want to sell postcards, you can choose between placing them on the CataWiki Auction or placing them in your Shop.

You can ask questions on the forum about what is indeed the best method to dispose of them. touch. When asked what the rarest places are, the auctioneer is right. It remains of course what the fool gives for it. It is a market of supply and demand and if there is little of it, it could be worth more.

If it is from a small and / or unknown place, it is likely to be in low demand, but if you want to sell that in that town or you have 2 people from that town, the value can of course increase.

Early (postcards) cards used to be called postcards and varied in size. If I'm not mistaken, they were even smaller than 10 by 15 centimeters. Nowadays the cards are much larger and therefore no longer fit in a standard collector's album or an old picture postcard album.

What is almost always worth a lot, are photo cards. These are old photos that were sold as postcards, often to the owners of the buildings on them. What was also done was to write in writing the place on the negative and on the positive it became a white text. But yes, what is a lot? 10,20,30,40 euros per card?

Thank you for the clear explanation of how and what. My intention was also not to sell through this forum. I actually only looked at what I got last night.

Now I already know a lot more. I do have a lot of photo cards and my sister even wanted to throw the whole pile away. I just became a member and still have to find out how everything works.

Greeting

These are the maps of Montfoort that can be found at CataWiki: http: //www.catawiki.nl/catalogus/ansichtkaarten/plaatsnaam/2322005-montfoort The left one is for sale and you can see that by the colored shopping basket above the picture. Then click on the image and you will see under the images who is selling the card. If a card is not for sale, you can add it to your wish list. If the map is then offered for sale, you will automatically receive a message. If you are looking for maps from another place, you can choose more city names on the main screen and you will see the places in alphabetical order. are sufficiently informed. With kind regards, DisneyMeentwijck, manager of (postcards) cards.
