I collected stamps as a kid, including a few post cards and other covers, but haven't actively collected since then.  I do pick up a few things here and there, for example as souvenirs while traveling. 

A friend found about 3 shoeboxes of postcards being sold by an antiques dealer at a street fair awhile back (not a garage sale as I previously thought), and bought the lot for something like $20-30 (I think that's why the ones I post have prices penciled on them).  From what I can tell most of them are what's left of what must have been a single huge collection, plus a handful of newer cards. 

Any postcards I collected myself would have been postcards issued by the post office with stamps pre-printed on them.

Interesting!
As kids we collected coins, but I can't say I was terribly interested in them. It was a way to pass the time. There was no internet then, you know   ;D

Yeah, I was never much interested in coins - they were all the same except for the year and mint mark.  Plus they took up a lot of space.

My grandfather sure had a collection though, and it was fun looking through them once in awhile

Oh yes, @FISH.  There are a number of comic postcards sprinkled throughout the thread.

Cute mountain. ???
There was a little girl,
            Who had a little curl,
Right in the middle of her forehead.
            When she was good,
            She was very good indeed,
But when she was bad she was horrid.

You are very welcome.  I'm very happy that the postcard relaxed you, and even more so to learn that you are at home and resting.
