Does anyone collect USPS notecards? I haven't discovered any dealers who sell them and only occasionally see full sets on ebay. I have over a dozen sets I purchased over the years so I could
have one card (the sets where all cards are identical.) for my collection. If anyone collecting them and is interested in trading please email me. Thanks. Albert.

The USPS issues Notecards which are notecards relating to a commemorative stamp with unstamped envelopes; however a commemorative stamp relating the same subject is enclosed for each envelope. They have been issuing these sets for many years now. Most of the time the notecards are all the same; if a collector wishes to collect them they are forced to purchase 8 to 10 of the same cards;
however, at times the notecards are different but related, in this case you may only end up with two to five duplicates. The USPS Bonsai Notecards pictured below is an example where there are two each of five different designed cards with matching stamps.

Very nice, Albert. A nice ancillary to postal stationery. Perhaps you should write a catalog.

Maybe a helpfull idea. I do have most of the old notecards and the new ones are still around. I could scan what I have, try to match with issue year, describe what was in each package, etc. Thank you.
