I shall instruct my girlfriend to hold on to the postcards I am sending her when travelling. She will be rich one day.

Make sure you write them in an interesting code.

The house seems to be selling the collection over a period of months. By the nature of postcards, the great majority will be penny stuff, which could prove hard to move on.

hahaha @nsk that is a good idea.
I just joined postcrossing. there is a good chance in one year you can send about 1000-2000 postcards and receive that many or more

For each postcard received, they expect you to send one. At € 1.50 a stamp and € 0.50 a postcard, those 1,000 - 2,000 postcards will cost you between € 2,000 and € 4,000. I fear might only add to your stamp collection from those postcrossing postcards you receive.

Interesting information. It is probably more a newspaper sensation type of article to attract more readers. Probably the quality of the material
is not very high ,but the number is still very large. I get the impression that they are simply searching a new home for the collection . I can't say whether the price asked for it is the right one or not. I had lots of postcards and they were from all sort of places .No one wanted to buy them . It took me a long time to sale them for a very modest price.
Yares ago the tax rate in our country was very cheap . It was around 0,05 USD for sending a letter or a postcard in the country and 0,25 USD for the same type of services. So it was not very hard to make a collection with a high quantity of postcards in it.
