Then and now: The historic Pepper Building at 9th and Locust in Kansas City once stood here — today, it’s the Charles Evans Whittaker Federal Courthouse. Another glimpse into KC’s changing skyline.

These #postcards show the 1932 Bonus Army camps in Washington, D.C. — when WWI veterans marched for the pay they were promised. If you’d like to own a piece of history, they’re in my eBay store: Suburban Granola General Store. #deltiology #bonusarmy

That’s very cool. I’ve been thinking about creating some of my own postcards.

Ever wonder how old a postcard is? 📮 You can actually tell just by looking at the back (and sometimes the front). From undivided backs to glossy chromes, each era has its own story. Here’s a quick gui... TikTok video by Suburban Granola Postcards

Hi, I’m Monty 👋 I’m a deltiologist (that’s a fancy word for postcard collector 📮 — not a strange religion 😅). I collect, study & sell thousands of vintage postcards on eBay and in our antique booth. @... TikTok video by Suburban Granola Postcards

This is the entire bunch. Lot of Christmas which will go in our antique store. I’ve grouped some up that go together in small lots. Then I may sell the rest in large lots of 10-20 on eBay.

As my handle indicates I sell more than just postcards. As part of an estate sale that I purchased it included dozens, maybe over 200, ceramic and porcelain bells. Does anyone collect these anymore? I’ve got a couple Fentons (not shown here). Here’s a sample and a link to my store. ebay.us/m/eLaEZW

Enjoyed a wonderful day at the zoo today in Kansas City

Enjoyed the exhibition at the The Nelson titled “Survival of the Fittest.” Also shoutout to another institution for not capitulating to an administration’s push to eliminate DEI in its exhibits. All were accompanied by Spanish language cards.

It’s hot out but there’s a small hint of fall in the air. Makes being outside so enjoyable this time of year.

Explore the history of Rockhill Bridge, a Kansas City landmark built by William Rockhill Nelson. Learn about its elegant arches and how it carried first horse and buggy, then automobile traffic over Brush Creek.

Meet the Deltiologists: MN's Postcard-Collecting Community Don't Need No Stinkin' Instagram - Racket Postcard nostalgics will gather this weekend to celebrate the (mostly) lost art.

As an amateur postcard collector myself, amazed I've never heard the word "deltiologist" before. racketmn.com/meet-the-del...

Listed about 100 RPPCs of the British Royal family from around the time of the reign of King George V. Here’s a sample. They’ll populated my eBay store in the next few weeks.

Privatize or downsize the USPS? Rural customers worry either option will hurt them As a new Postmaster General with ties to FedEx assumes control of the agency, postal workers and their customers are bracing for either scenario, especially as corporate America weighs in.

I was a huge Styx fan in high school. But I believe this version of Tommy Shaw performing with this high school orchestra is awesome. Listen to that violin player.

Love this version by Remember Monday. I think Freddie Mercury would approve!

It’s interesting that my foreign #postcard buyers want American cards. For example these four were shipped today to Italy, Australia and the UK. Topics: Marilyn Monroe, Hawaiian volcano, and flowering cactus plant. Go figure. #deltiology
