Title: Greman Postcards
Post by: henchman on February 19, 2012, 03:09:25 PM: My wife's Aunt had a flood in her basement and while she was cleaning it out she found some old German postcards. Thought I would share...

Post by: Volron on February 19, 2012, 09:57:59 PM: It is a good thing they were not damaged or destroyed by the flooding. I'd find a nice airtight, fireproof, blastproof box to store them in. :aok To find out their worth, I'm sure a few folks here could provide you with some links to sites that will give you a rough estimate of their price, if not E-Bay and Amazon.

I was only teasing with my comment. Which obviously nobody got.

They were probably brought home by a vet as a souvenir Possibly a late arrival after the war was over as all the good stuff was looted already

Post by: eagl on February 20, 2012, 08:03:28 AM: You probably *should* find out what they are worth. Sometimes items like that can be worth upwards of $10,000, sometimes a lot more. If they're worth a lot and you care about them being preserved, it might be a good idea to find a museum that would be willing to care for them or even add them to their collection "on loan from" you.
