Ebay is course the easiest, but not much fun. Postcard and paper shows are a little more difficult, there are usually lots of dealers and they already have their collections sorted, but the vast number of cards can be overwhelming. Then of course, the most difficult search is at the flea markets, estate sales and antique stores. You just have to spend the time looking through all of them, however, there are two upsides. 1. You will be able to buy the unsorted cards for a song, usually .25 - 1.00 a piece. 2. Looking through any stack of unsorted cards, you are bound to find all kinds of cool cards that are fun to pick up, expecially for the lower prices. They are usually cards you would have never even of thought of looking for. It takes a long time to get a good collection of Polynesian Pop postcards, but for me, the thrill is in the hunt. Sabu, any other tips?
