For a while I kept ploughing thorough all the postcard dealers stock at flea markets, but after several collective hours of doing so, and not one tiki postcard, I gave up. Is there a trick? Or do you get them all on Ebay? All I saw was reams and reams of 'OTTAWA- OUR NATIONS CAPITAL' or 'BUFFALO NY EXCITEMENT!' and 'OVER THE FALLS IN A BARREL! GREETINGS FROM NIAGARA!' In all my digging at flea markets and antique stores over the years I've only found a few. I always look through small stacks at flea markets but in these big antique shows I never have the patience so I just look for any category of restaurants or bars. I have a nice small collection of bar postcards but not many of tiki bars. I haven't bought any on Ebay yet.
