[Frederic · Rating 3 out of 5]

The pricing component here is, of course, useless except for the general sense of relative scarcity/value; for pricing, see ebay or a specialist dealer. Illustrations are limited, and only B&W. But nevertheless useful for its lists of series by publisher, which can be useful when you want to know how many cards might be in a series, what number ranges, etc. It's also useful as a general survey of the range of postcards, for beginners or for those with specialized interests who may be faced with a mass of cards from an album or box-lot.
