Setup, Compatibility & Care
To keep your postcards in pristine condition, store them in their original packaging or a cool, dry acid-free box to prevent yellowing or ink fading. If mailing, standard postal regulations apply; ensure your envelope or the postcard itself meets the minimum dimensions required by your local postal service for flat-rate mailing. To protect the vintage print from scuffing during transit, it is often best to use a protective sleeve or a rigid mailer if the cards are being sent to other collectors.
