webhost's greeting

border Why collect airline postcards? The best way to answer that question is with a question. Why collect stamps? or coins? or baseball cards? It's a passion only airliner enthusiasts truly understand. For the airline collector there are an endless line of materials to choose from to kick start any collection. Your host admits to collecting everything from timetables to safety cards. But through nearly 30 years of collecting, post cards have remained the backbone.

Today, tens of thousands of post cards reside in the airlinecolors.com archives. We want to share as many as possible with come and see!you. We apologize in advance to the purists (the ones who collect only airline issues), but we hope you'll understand we seek a broader selection to draw from. There are countless publishers of airline post cards. In many cases these cards are the only ones to depict airlines, aircraft, liveries, and scenes skipped by the marketing folks at larger carriers. Some airlines can not financially support producing post cards. We hope to merge both areas of collecting here at airlinecolors.com so that you, the collector, will have a fuller reference to page through.

For those of you who have worked with Chuck in the past - he is now undertaking a well deserved break! Please feel free to contact me in the interim. I hope you enjoy your visit,

Trent P,
Associate Webhost

archiving tip

Organize your postcards in the order that best fits the needs of your enthusiast within. Here at airlinecolors.com we archive our postcards by aircraft type. This works best for our website. Most collectors choose to file by airline. Others might utilize a system of airline issue vs publisher and sub file from there. The important thing to remember is to have just the postcard your looking for right at your fingertips. Happy collecting!
