PICTURE POSTCARDS - The "Cartophile" Collection<br />
[The material in this section is our second offering from one of the most extensive postcard collections we have seen. It was assembled<br />
by a collector with a voracious appetite and deep pockets. However, it must be noted that quality wasn't his primary consideration and,<br />
unless noted otherwise, mixed condition - but generally from good to fine - should be expected. Postal history subjects feature,<br />
including postmarks & origins/destinations. The collector died many years ago so most of this material has been off the market for a<br />
very long time]<br />
