Easter Postcards


Welcome to Moody's Postcards, your source for vintage, collectible postcards! My name is Richard Moody and I started the company in 1986 and we have been accumulating "old" (otherwise known as "vintage collectible") postcards for twenty years. We specialize in United States view postcards but we also have thousands of antique foreign views, topical postcards and trade cards. Our goal is to exceed your expectations and provide a superior selection of the collectible postcard you are searching for.
Easter is just around the corner so I thought I would highlight an Easter postcard to give you an idea of what is available. In the early 1900s postcards were used much like the phone and emails are today and this gave rise to "Greeting Cards" which were exchanged by the millions on most holidays including Easter. Just like everything else now and then, there are the great, the good, and the bad. The better publishers such as John Winsch and Raphael Tuck produced great postcards illustrated by some to the best artists of the time. The results are often breath taking, beautiful, sometimes full of fantasy with dressed rabbits and chickens as well as the religious theme. This is a great area to collect as the greeting cards are plentiful and reasonably priced for just about any budget. You can see more Easter postcards at Moody's Postcards.
