While we don't verify specific claims because reviewers' opinions are their own, we may label reviews as "Verified" when we can confirm a business interaction took place. Read more

To protect platform integrity, every review on our platform—verified or not—is screened by our 24/7 automated software. This technology is designed to identify and remove content that breaches our guidelines, including reviews that are not based on a genuine experience.

Sold a huge postcard collection to Cardcow

Worked with Cardcow to sell a huge postcard collection. It was overwhelming for me to deal with so many cards, but cardcow made it easy and gave me a great price for the entire collection. Highly reocmmended!

Worst company ever to deal with

Worst company ever to deal with. I liked an old postcard and thought I would receive it in the mail and I received a download of it by email. Are you kidding me. Ridiculous company and bad customer service when I sent an email. Never use it.

Hi-res scans are offered for many older postcards. It is abundantly clear when you are ordering a scan and not the original card. It clearly says "Purchase Scan", the cart says "Digital Download: 1200 DPI Scan", and then it says "Shipping & Handling: (None: Digital Download Only)" on the final checkout page. You also have to explicitly check and agree to our terms & condition when purchasing scans, and T&C state "Refunds for digital images will be given in store credit only."

Not only that, but this customer purchased a scan in April, downloaded it then, and then tried to demand a refund 4 months later in August...

Awesome selection of historic images

Awesome selection of historic images. I'm a designer and often don't need the physical, original cards (which they do sell). So happy they provide high-quality scans of many cards for reasonable prices. They gave me a discount on a bulk order of images I needed for a project.

Great postcard dealer

Great postcard dealer. I found them online when looking to sell a large postcard collection I inherited. They gave me a lot of useful information and I was able to get a quote for my cards and received a fair price and they sent a check right away
