Product Notes
Lot of 43 Antique 1900's~Mixed Topics Greetings Postcards~All with stamps-s25
This lot packs 43 postcards from the Divided Back era (1907-1915) into a single purchase, and every card is described as having its old stamp intact. The postcards are used, so you get genuine postal markings rather than modern reproductions. The description calls out good condition with normal age wear for cards of this age, plus no badly damaged cards in the group. If you need a deep stack of greetings cards to study or resell, this is the volume play. The limitation is the "mixed topics" framing: you're buying a grab-bag without knowing the subject distribution in advance.
LOT OF 27 ANTIQUE / VINTAGE POSTCARDS 1908-1930s Stamped & Mail See Description
This is the smallest lot by count at 27 postcards, but the description points to a curated mix: mailed examples, U.S. city and landmark views, military/history subjects, and a 15-postcard booklet from Brest, France. The title says "Stamped & Mail," so you can expect a mix of vintage postage and postal history. Specific images include a Miraflores, Panama canal construction view and a Santa Catalina Island casino. If you're interested in early American and European history, this set offers more focused subject matter than a random mixed lot. The limitation is the significantly higher listed price, which makes it a decision for collectors who prioritize specific themes over per-card cost.
USPS UN Transportation Stamps And Two Postcards All Unused
The selling point here is the "unused" condition: the stamps are listed as Mint Never Hinged, meaning the gum has not been hinged, and the two postcards are also unposted. This is the cleanest option for someone who wants fresh material without cancellation marks or age wear. The stamps are USPS UN transportation issues in multi-color, giving you a distinct topical set. The description is brief and refers you to the pictures for condition, so the exact count of stamps is not spelled out in the text. The limitation is the small scale: only two postcards accompany the stamps, so it's a starter set rather than a large assortment.
Bulk Lot of Over 26 Vintage Antique Stamps and Postcards Oldest Post Mark 1907
This lot centers on stamps, with a total of 22 one-cent green stamps, 3 two-cent stamps, and 1 twelve-cent stamp. The oldest postmark is 1907, and 9 of the stamps are postmarked before 1910. The cancelled states listed are South Dakota, North Dakota, and Wisconsin, which adds a regional postal-history angle. If you're building a collection around early 20th-century U.S. postmarks, this gives you a dense group of used stamps without a high entry price. The limitation is that the "over 26" total mixes stamps and postcards, so the postcard count is not individually specified, and the stamps are used rather than mint.
Final Recommendation by Use Case

- For a curated history set: choose the LOT OF 27 ANTIQUE / VINTAGE POSTCARDS 1908-1930s Stamped & Mail See Description at USD 125.00 if the specific subjects like the Brest, France booklet or the Panama Canal view match your collecting niche.
