"The genre is called paper ephemera because early paper was not made to be collected. It deteriorates with age and is, therefore, ephemeral.
Postcards and related material appeal because a nice collection can be built for very little money. Most cards sell for about $1; many go for far less. Long ago, a lifetime paper collector and dealer told me, 'No one ever gets rich selling postcards.'"
