Welcome to Postcard Pals

Postcard Pals' goals are for people to learn more about the hobby of postcards and to provide a way for people to find people who want to trade, buy or sell postcards. (If you are here to find out more about the Mensa SIG of the same name, please click here} To help achieve them, there is a Yahoo Group to allow people to ask questions (and hopefully get answers) and find traders. To join, enter your email address below and follow the directions from Yahoo.

I enjoy collecting Freecards, a special type of advertising cards, as well as city views, political satire, and art photography. I also like theater cards - especially marquees and grand movie places/opera houses. To learn about theater history in general, learn about specific theaters or see their pictures, try the American Picture Palace or Cinema Treasures.

My other postcard passion is public health cards, especially mental health related and Safe Sex/AIDS cards. I am interested in any type of Mental Health card, be it public education campaigns, "humorous", hospitals, ... In fact Kris Preacher has four postcard views of Eastern State Hospital in Williamsburg, VA - America's First Public Mental Health Facility, est. 1773 (Card 1, Card 2, Card 3, Card 4) I would like any information possible than you can share about these type of cards.
