Blog > Postcard boxes roundup
A looong time ago, we shared some tips about postcard sets that were available online. They’re cheap, great quality and quite handy when you need a bit of variety… or for when your local bookshop has run out of nice postcards! :)
Lately, we’ve seen a lot of new and exciting editions on the market, which means it’s time for a fresh roundup! The choice is rather overwhelming, so to narrow it down, we decided to focus on reasonably priced boxes of 100 postcards. Here are some of our current favorites that we thought you might like:
- House Industries 100 Postcards
- The Art of Pixar, Volume II: 100 Collectible Postcards
- The Impossible Project Spectrum Collection: 100 Instant-Film Postcards

- Doctor Who Postcards from Time and Space

I love to send Anne Taintor and Norman Rockwell postcards, so I make sure to keep a good supply of them on hand!

my daughter loves to play with it... :)
Comics/Puffin/Paris vs.NY = Excellent quality
Sibley's = Very poor. Thin cards (apt to get damaged in sorting machines) and unimaginative backs.
Some are quite hilarious and some make you think.
But Most are just really brilliant.
The problem: Which to send and which to keep.
Last week I was shopping in New York City and I found the Vintage DC Comic box with 100 postcard. I have never see before like this in germany...
But it's hard to send them, because I want to keep them all.
Sometimes I have spotted it on time, for instance, with the Penguin Writers (black and white).

I prefer lesser known collections like Dover's antique dolls -- which is sadly out of print.
