I have some postcards that I would like to mount. Is there a company that makes them. The sizes are 138x89, 127x75, and 180x91. Or is there another way to mount postcards?

Have you considered using photo mounts/corners?? With these, the size doesn't matter, you put the corners where you need them.

I personally dont use corner mounts they have come up in topic before people say that they damage the cards after some time espically the old hard style ones? I know it is much more affordable then show-guard mounts. which I believe they make postcard size

if you are going to use CORNER mounts you may want to check these 2 options out...
they are from Subway stamp shop.

I use Vario sheets so I can see both sides.

I collect both unused and used post cards and I do like to see the reverse side for inscriptions, messages, stamps, cancellations etc.

Nigelc has a great point 1/2 of the fun is on the back which you will miss with traditional mounts.

When I mount a cover or postal card I make a color copy of both sides of the item. I then mount both the item and the appropriate copy.

I'd use transparent vario mounts or (as a cheaper alternative) specialist albumns for first day covers.
