POCAX 2010 Postcard Show Coming Up!

The POCAX 2010 Postcard Show is coming up next weekend!

I'm getting ready for next Saturdays show in Mount Laurel NJ, not far from the Jersey Shore or Philadelphia.

It's a nice show filled with great local dealers. There will be postcards for every taste as well as vintage photographs, advertising and local memorabilia!

Drop me a line if I can bring anything special for you. Otherwise I'll concentrate on bringing only NJ postcards, NJ photos and other local memorabilia.

Hope to see everyone there!

This Weekends Postcard Show

Just packing and getting ready for this weekends postcard show in Parsippany NJ. The Garden State show is always fun. It's good seeing the dealers we haven't seen in a while and meeting new friends.

Thanks for all the email requests. I've pulled lots of great old postcards in your collecting interests and will bring them to the show. Hope to see you there! Kevin

The Garden State Postcard Show

This show is always one of our favorites. One of the few local two day postcard shows, it is held in Parsippany NJ. It has easy access to Tri-State area collectors via the Garden State Parkway.

The show always have a great group of dealers from many states as well as from our home state of NJ (plus usually a dealer or two from outside the country!). Table after table of great vintage postcards, covering two large rooms of the PAL Center off Rt 46 in Parsippany.

Mark your calendar now! This is not the show to miss! Hope to see you there!

Vintage Stork Postcards

Wow! It's been a while since I've had a post. I've been getting ready for some upcoming shows in September, and the beginning of the Fall postcard show season! Be sure to stop by and see us at the Tuckerton NJ Antiques Show and the popular Garden State Postcard Show in Parsippany NJ (both in September).

I recently stumbled across a handful of postcards at the flea market and began to sort and sleeve them. While going through the lot I noticed a common theme. There were a bunch that all had storks on them!

I would imagine they were quite popular in the day, used to announce a new family arrival! Many have the traditional stork, delivering a baby in some way, shape or form. They range from artistic to comical. I've sold many in the past, often used to make a great vintage gift for the new mom, possibly framed for display in a babys room!

Vintage 50s Pulp Science Fiction Books

Just picked up today a huge collection of 1950s Science Fiction Pulp paperback books! These are really cool, especially the "far-out" covers with rocket ships, aliens, planets etc! It's neat to think that this was what they invisioned for us back in the 1950s and early 60s! Well over 125 in the collection and will be listing them soon on eBay in smaller lots.

Feel free to email any specific wants before they go up for bid! Thanks and happy collecting!

Costume Jewelry Collection

Just started listing pieces from a wonderful collection of old costume jewelry. Many come from an estate collection assembled back in the 1940s.

Pieces include ornate pins from such designers as Miriam Haskell, Trifari and others. Styles include beautiful glass bead necklaces, stick pins, Marcasite, Rhinestone and others. These are quite pretty, and collectors online have begun bidding on these great pieces all starting at low reserves. Why not check them out?
