Hi! Welcome to my Postal Stationery Web Site. I have been interested in philately and stamp collecting for most of my life. Some time ago, I thought I would try out Government Postal Cards as a new collecting specialty and have been hooked ever since!

Postal cards encompass a wide breadth of US postal history. Used cards are complete covers in miniature, each with their own stories' to tell. I think postal cards are much more popular with collectors than either the stamp dealers or the catalog editors give them credit for. This is a much underrated branch of philately. In numerous cases, the rarities in this field are super-rarities! In collecting rare and expensive stamps, with some exceptions, if you have enough money to spend, you can probably acquire what you're after. With the cards this is almost never the case. In this collecting specialty, there are untold instances of so-called common items that you just simply can't find! What's more, you can't go to your friendly local stamp dealer to obtain them either, because they either don't stock them, or are looking for the same ones that you are! This is especially the case when searching for proper usages. In this sense, the specialty offers a true form of treasure hunting that requires patience and much perseverance!! This is what makes it very attractive for me. I hope visitors find this site entertaining and enjoyable.
