Map Postcards to Trade

Revised April 24, 2009

In many of my posts, I comment on map postcards. I have a modest collection of map postcards from all over the U.S. and many countries. In fact, one of the reasons I thought to start this blog, was because I wanted to showcase my collection (and force myself to organize and sort them).

When my friends travel, I usually say, "keep an eye out for map postcards." When I travel, I always browse the postcard rack in the souvenir shop for a card with a map I don't already have in my collection. Sometimes I accidentally buy duplicates, and sometimes I intentionally buy duplicates.

I know there are many other postcard collectors out there, and I would like to trade my duplicates for a map card I do not have. Below are many, but not all of the cards I have available for trade. If you would like one of these cards, and have a map postcard to trade, send a note to me at ADMIN [at] CARTOPHILIA.COM. The easiest thing would be for you to copy the image, or the link to the image, into your email message, then I'll know for sure which postcard has caught your eye.

My U.S. State Map Postcard "Want List":

• Arkansas
• Colorado
• Georgia
• Iowa
• Mississippi
• Nebraska
• Nevada
• New Jersey
• North Dakota
• South Dakota

Other map postcards on my "Want List":

• Map postcards from any state that I don't already own


• Map postcards from cities, regions, transportation systems, parks, etc.


• I have a very small international map postcards collection, so just about any non-U.S. country will be a welcome trade.


• Imaginary places, like my Jurassic Park or Middle Earth postcards.
