Then a local postcard club representative spoke at our state archives, and I was hooked! I have perused Ebay for postcards, and I have purchased a few. I haven't looked in awhile.

I've been buying old postcards on ebay from my hometown and especially for my husband's father's hometown of Trenton, NJ as there are no pictures in his family. It gives me a good feel for what the area was like at the time.

Not really any good family stuff but lots of great historical items which lend themselves to the genealogy/history aspects of our families. A friend from North Platte found a whole box of her family ancestral photos on ebay...a gold mine for her!
