Vintage Collectible Thanksgiving Cards

Low cost but high value are a feature of many collectible vintage post cards. The cards offer useful vintage artwork at a cost of a few dollars. More unusual cards may have values that are considerably higher. For those of you who want scale miniature cards for dolls house scenes, a pdf of the vintage gallery cards in scales from 1:6 to 1:48 is linked to the introduction to each collectible card gallery.

A wide range of collectible cards are available online, at paper fairs and auctions, and through used book sellers. Try your local sources first as the cards may be more reasonably priced than in the more specialized collector fairs and online sellers. There are many collectible series, and full sets don't take up an enormous amount of room! Check out the Vintage Christmas Card and Postcard Gallery as well.
