Welcome to the Large-Letter Website

We have made corrections to the Curt Teich checklist of large letter linen postcards. If you have Adobe Acrobat Reader simply click on the link below or place your mouse cursor over the link and click your right mouse button and "save target as . . ." to save a copy to your local drive. Check out the new version.

Also, be sure to check out the Teich Dating Guide, if you don't already have a copy. This has been around since the 80s, but this is the only copy available on the net.

In this exhibit, we also have information on the history of these cards, as well as information for collectors and ephemera buffs. The collection includes over 1000 of these cards, representing every major city, every state and tourist attraction. These postcards date from 1933 to 1956. A complete listing of the collection can be viewed and downloaded.

We've included a list of the top forty selling large letter cards. Think of it as a bestseller list. Most of these prices are fairly current auction prices on eBay. Scans of many of these cards can be viewed on the list below.

Top Auction Prices for Large Letter Postcards

We do accept and encourage donations in the form of cards or scans, especially of those auctioned in the $30+ range. More information is available on the order and information page regarding the resolution of the high-res scans.

For questions or comments please email Jeff Vorzimmer, the curator of the exhibit.
