Changes are afoot at Paper Trails Postcards. After attending several postcard shows, I’m continuing to build and revamp my inventory. I will be sticking to my niche market idea on eBay, offering Artist signed & unsigned cards as well as topical/thematic cards such as propaganda. There will always be a selection of European cards as well as American ones. At the Arcadia and Phoenix shows, I’ll be adding military cards and cards from California. My intention is to focus on quality over quantity.

In the near future, I will be changing Paper Trails Postcards to a niche format. My ebay store will specialize in Artist signed and unsigned antique and vintage postcards. A wide variety of topicals will be included such as WWI propaganda, political satire, women’s suffrage, holidays, dressed animals, etc. This is the area I’ve become known for as a collector and postcard historian. It’s also the focus of the FB group I started, Artist Signed Postcards 1890-1950. I hope you all will follow along as I adjust my inventory in my eBay store accordingly.
