Information to note about a postcard is its publishing information, copyright dates, an artist's signature, a series number, and/or subject matter. Greeting postcards are especially worth noting, for specific holidays such as Valentine's Day, Hallowe'en, etc. For further research on the value of postcards, see J. L. Mashburn.
