I have a shoebox that's filled with Postcards. Some were from frens with personal greetings, well wishes, encouragement... collected over the years. But majority of the cards were bought on overseas trips. WHY i bought these?~ thot i could decorate the photo albums with these beautiful postcards, especially those with scenic views
~ some of the museums did not allow photo taking... so no choice gotta buy postcards as momento
~ some were limited edition prints for a significant year, eg: 150th anniversary of the castle; or it's the year 2000, etc
~ there's one (Michelangelo's Sistine Chapel) that i sent back home just because i wanted to have the Vatican City's post office stamp on it. :)
~ some were so cute, pretty, whimsical... that i couldn't resist buying :P
Hmmm... now don't know what to do with these cards that have turned yellow over the years... *scratchz head*

Hehe...I too have a large collection of postcards. Mostly from my letter writing days. Yellow and faded still with stamps and message. Thought of making a large collage and framing them up. You never know it might worth millions one day ;-)
ehhh... too late, i've already dumped most of those yellowish cards, except those from precious frens.
I've still got another box of birthday cards, CNY cards, X'mas cards collected since primary school days...*headache*
