Where can a person purchase wholesale bulk high-quality, unique and
beautiful antique postcards, preferably French (but other European
okay), from 1900s to 1920s, including tastefully nude but not
pornographic, and clothed posing females, along with many others, most
desirably portraits of young women and girls (no nude girls!)though;
tinted, hand-colored, sepia, and black & white, preferably
uncirculated or in good used condition, even with stamps that do not
interfere too much with image. I see them for sale on Ebay, and they
are a hot item. I need to know where to buy them in bulk, wholesale,
or very cheap. "Poppy1auctions" is an Ebay seller that has many great
examples. Thank you very much for your help.  Warm Regards, Geoffrey
Hodgins

Antique PHOTO postcards is the term I meant to use. Thank you.

Old Algerian cigarette postcards, too. Beautiful postcards. Russia
too. Germany. Anywhere. I guess just 'blanket' nice, preferably unused
antique postcards from that era. Glamour and stars also. Sorry. I will
stop now.

As with all antiques, dealers buy postcards from estates, in bulk at
auctions, at flea markets, thrift stores, and from other antique
dealers. Often a discount may be had (about 10-20%) if you have a
business card proving you are a dealer. For the best price and largest
quantity, your best bet is auctions, where you can buy a "lot" of
postcards.

Is that the answer? Or just a "comment?" No offense. Thanks :)
