&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;This
large postcard lot will be offered on eBay Sunday 9pm EST. The lot will
be auctioned at no reserve, a partial description is as follows.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;
This the biggest postcard lot I&amp;#39;ll sell all year, there are just over
300 cards here. In my opinion, none would really fall into the common
category. The vast majority are from 1900-25, the golden era of
postcards. It&amp;#39;s a fresh collection, not one that&amp;#39;s been picked.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Overall
condition is very good and most have writing and a stamp on the back
although some are unused. There are really no ruined cards in the lot,
very few have major creases, none have significant tears.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Almost all are U.S. New England Towns, greeting, or novelty cards.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Here&amp;#39;s just as sample of what&amp;#39;s here:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Artist signed cards:&lt;br /&gt;
Many fancy Germany embossed&lt;br /&gt;
Patriotic Campaign&lt;br /&gt;
Railroad Stations&lt;br /&gt;
Roller Coasters&lt;br /&gt;
Ships&lt;br /&gt;
Christmas - I guess about 80 cards are Holiday cards altogether. (no Halloween)&lt;br /&gt;

This is a great lot to break up and sell in smaller lots or by single cards. It would also make a fantastic starter collection.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;These will only be shipped via Flat Rate US priority mail for the actual shipping fee of $9.10. Insurance is optional.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
