I am a Christian wife, mom, and grandma who lives in the Milwaukee, WI area. I have been collecting postcards for about 8 years and work as a banker.

POSTCARDS: I collect single-view color photographic images of scenes representative of your city, state, or country. Special interest: Europe and US national parks/monuments/historical sites. I prefer my postcards stamped with an interesting note from the sender. Please, no free/ad cards.

SMASHING: I have recently been bitten by the Smashing Bug! I am just getting started, but am most interested in paper things that show your place and/or culture, such as:

ticket stubs: movies, concerts, sporting events, theater, conferences, conventions, exhibits, festivals, etc.

tourist brochures: restaurants, museums, historic buildings/places, etc.

maps: country, state, city, public transportation, etc.

low-value paper currency, such as dollar bills

non-paper items of interest: coins, pressed pennies, subway tokens, etc.
