I
am an avid collector of UK map postcards and started designing my own
as a hobby, concentrating on the East of England because I felt that
compared to other regions such as the South East and South West, not
enough map postcards existed - and of course, because I live here!
I was inspired by the Lily White map postcards which covered some cities, to start featuring towns and villages that had never had a map postcard done, and the result is "Tony's Postcards". This is not really a commercial venture, I spend time designing them (or sourcing public domain images where the copyright has expired) and then pay to have them printed as proper postcards. I add one to my collection and one to my wall gallery and the rest I try to sell to recover my costs, and yes, make a little bit of money if I can - always useful! Only 100 of each design are printed and 98 are offered up for sale here and on eBay. Once they're gone they're gone!
PRICES All postcards are £1.00 each + P&P.
Comments from some of my buyers... "I think it's obvious that the postcard designs have been created by a collector rather than a run-of-the-mill graphic designer. The colours are harmonious and the designs are symmetrically pleasing to other collectors. Added to the fact that the subject matter is a little out of the ordinary is what I find most pleasing, plus knowing I've got the FULL set" "They are excellent postcards and very unusual- everybody needs these in their collection!"
