Sell your postcards at auction

Selling your postcards at auction is an easy way to receive a fair price for your vintage postcards. We do all lotting, pricing and describing, in other words, all the work. All you have to do is ship the postcards to us or we can pick up your large collection.

1. We try to keep the minimum postcard consignment value to $500. We will make exceptions for exceptional cards.
2. Always fill out the form below or call us at (231) 352-9758 to talk about your consignment before sending postcard consignments through the mail.
3. Wrap the postcards up as securely as possible so they are not damaged and ship them to us. Shipping recommendations are best handled on an individual basis and we will be happy to discuss this with you.
4. Upon receipt of your postcards we will notify you as to which auction they will be sold in.
5. All cards that we believe will bring $15 or more will be individually photographed and expertly described. They will appear in our printed catalog and in the postcard auction section of this website. Cards less than $15 will be lotted and sold at auction in groups.
6. When the auction catalog is printed you will be sent an inventory listing of all your postcard lots in the current auction along with a copy of the catalog.
7. Thirty days after the close of the auction you will receive the same inventory listing with your realized prices and a check, less my 30% commission.
