In the wonderful world of post card collecting, 2000 isn't really that significant.  I've collected pre WWI automobile postcards for a long time and have well over 3000 now.  I started collecting them at an antique market in Edinburgh Scotland in 1972 and was picking up fabulous turn of the century advertising, humor, holiday and of course real-photo cards but the box full for next to nothing. Over the years I've continued to add to it, and living in the UK really provided a boost as the finest early postcards were printed in Europe.  I continue to add to the collection at post card shows, antique shows, and everywhere there is a box of cards to look through.  It's a lot of fun and I've even started others collecting them.  It's been great to have friends to share collecting with.  I even did a program for a couple of local car clubs on collecting automotive postcards.  It's been great.

Holy cow ... 2,000 of 'em?  How'd you manage to collect that many?  I presume you have 'em all stored in some sort of binder?
