Antique Postcards Bring Substantial eBay Prices
Antique postcards have some strong sales on eBay. The biggest prices come from "lots", meaning large numbers of postcards at one time: $2,450.00 for $24,000 cards or $1,983.00 for 14,000 postcards. But individual ones have some huge price tags, like this creepy thing of Hitler which went for $918.88.
Or this one titled "FRANZ LISZT 1885 WEIMAR" which sold for $1,250.
There are postcards that sold for high prices that aren't in English like "BRAZIL 1911 Rio Grande do Sul Port Postcard" for which someone paid $750.
Clearly, this is not a niche for the uninformed (like me). I have no idea where anyone would find 24,000 postcards in a group and I have no idea why anyone would pay so much for a single postcard. Be wary of collectibles markets that you don't understand. Of course, educating yourself might be very worthwhile financially.
