During the great era of postcard publishing (which dated from the 1890s until World War I) uncountable different designs for postcards were produced. Holidays were a favorite time to send postcards, and as Halloween was second only to Christmas as a sending occasion, an enormous number of cards were available. The imagery is varied, appealing, and dramatic. We present here some of our favorites from that time, and hope that we thus encourage a renewal of the happy custom of Halloween correspondence.

Great Halloween Postcards,
This review is from: Halloween Postcard Book (Cards)
If you really like the old Halloween post cards, that reached their zenith during late Victorian and in Edwardian times, but you find that they are next to impossible to find and the few you do see are priced higher than gold, then this is the book for you. Needless to say, these cards are not old, but they are excellent copies of those really neat Halloween cards of yesteryear. Highly recommended .

Great Vintage Reproduction Postcards,

This review is from: Halloween Postcard Book (Cards)
These are nice and large and have a lot of beautiful art on them, and I love the detail on the back of the postcards, but I've got to say they are pretty flimsy for postcards. You would normally expect a postcard to be on card stock, but these are more like a thick paper. I like them, but I am a little nervous about how well they will hold up when I sent them through the mail. I would've given them 5 stars if the paper they were printed on was a thicker stock.

Cute Cards but....,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Halloween Postcard Book (Cards)
I am a subscriber to postcrossing.com. I send post cards all over the world. With Halloween approaching I thought these would be great. The cards are really cute. Great colors great images, great paper quality But good luck getting them out of the booklet they are in. If you want to just keep these in the book as a collection or decoration they would probably be perfect for you. However if you have intentions of actually sending them, expect that the majority will have torn edges across the top. I threw away 3 or 4 before I decided to completely take the booklet apart, staples and all, to get the rest out and even then somewhere still tore.
