How do you collect postcards? Is there a specific place that’s important to you (e.g. Victoria or Vernon); or a particular theme (such as transportation or social history); or subject (teddy bears, butterflies, shipping, war memorials etc.); or perhaps you collect a certain type of postcard (real photo, artist-signed or “write away” to name a few)? There are many different ways to build a postcard collection and that’s what makes it such an enjoyable hobby for thousands of collectors around the world – it’s entirely up to you! The speaker at the Club Meeting on Sunday 16th February is Philip Francis, editor of Postview, the newsletter of the Vancouver Postcard Club. For the past several years, Philip has been collecting postcards by “Series”, including a number of highly collectible modern postcards, as well as those from the early 20th century. Philip will be presenting some of his favourite series and discussing different ways in which to organize your postcard collection. Come for postcard trading at 11.30 a.m. and Philip’s presentation will commence at 12.30 p.m.
