I have to admit, I don't actively collect these but there are some interesting ones out there. I came across this "card" in a little history museum. It's really more of a tiny pillow and the stamp is missing, but it was definitely postal used.

What other leather cards are out there?

True, the chemicals in the leather and the flexibility doom many stamps on leather items. Here are some non-standard leather items which went through the mail:

Albuquerque, New Mexico to South Bend, Indiana:

Bloomfield, Indiana to Newburg, Indiana:

Although this Burrometer is not technically a postcard from a mail classification standpoint, it's at least leather and went through the mail:

I've seen a good many discolored stamps on leather cards. Is it from the acid in the leather?

A quick check of recently sold leather cards on eBay shows that most are in the $2 to $5 range. Some more, some less. As with other collectibles, eye appeal and subject matter can increase collector demand.

A friend of mine collects leather postcards. He recently purchased a blanket of leather, locally written postcards at an estate auction. It is pretty neat, all cards were postmarked from 1900-1910 and they were sewn together.
