Postcard Collecting Video - January 2013

Sending messages by postcard was hugely popular in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, but many senders agonised about other people reading their message, as Guy Atkins explains in his latest postcard collecting video.

Read Guy's full feature on poetry on postcards in the January 2013 issue of Stamp & Coin Mart.

Guy Atkin's postcard column is part of the popular 'Stamp Sidelines' pages in every issue of Stamp & Coin Mart, which cover the following subjects:

• Cinderella stamps (stamps with no postal validity)
• The history of postmarks of the world
• The stories behind First Day Covers

Plus, from the March 2013 issue onwards, the pages will also feature columns on Perfins (stamps with perforated holes) and Machins (the classic definitive stamp designs of GB)
