Answers to your questions about selling vintage postcards

Explore our simple process for getting a competitive offer on your postcards in just 48 hours. Selling your collection has never been easier!

What kinds of postcards do you buy?

We’re most interested in collections of antique and collectible postcards from pre-1930s eras. 

How does the process work?

Simply fill out the form on this page and upload photos of your postcards. If we’re interested, you’ll receive an offer within 48 hours. If you accept, we’ll arrange payment and shipping details.

How much can I expect to receive for bulk postcards?

As a general guideline, bulk postcard collections typically sell for around 25 cents per card, provided they’re common or mixed in quality. If your collection contains fine, rare, or particularly desirable cards, the value can be higher, especially for organized or well-preserved sets.

There’s no obligation to accept our offer. If it doesn’t meet your expectations, you’re free to explore other options.

What are the terms and conditions of the sale?

Shipping Responsibility:

  • For sellers located in the United States, we will provide a prepaid shipping label with tracking for free.
  • Sellers outside the United States are responsible for arranging and paying for international shipping and insurance.
  • Items must be properly packaged to prevent damage during transit. For example, use sturdy boxes, protective materials such as bubble wrap, and seal packages securely to avoid shifting during transit. Detailed packaging instructions will be provided to ensure safe transport.
  • We are not liable for any issues that occur during shipping, including but not limited to items arriving empty, being damaged, or being lost in transit. Responsibility for proper packaging lies solely with the sender.
  • If Britannic Auctions insures the label, any claims for loss or damage must be filed by us. Sellers will be notified
    about claim outcomes, and we will guide them through any necessary follow-up actions, if applicable.

By checking the box on your supplied offer, you will acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agreed to these terms and conditions.

How will I get paid?

We use secure payment methods such as PayPal or Venmo to ensure fast and safe transactions. If you prefer a check, we can accommodate that as well.

Do I have to pay for shipping?
