Postcard collecting is called deltiology and it is big business for those who make it their hobby. Postcards from artists like Samuel L Schmucker and Donald McGill are collected worldwide and sold or auctioned for hundreds or even thousands of dollars.
Some collectors are interested in postcards themselves, while others seek out specific topics or subjects. Popular postcard subjects that are collected and exchanged include cities, holidays, art deco, art nouveau, and those with historical significance.
