I love vintage adverts and I'm sure there must be others here who do too (o: So, this swap is for postcards showing reprints of vintage adverts.

how can they be vintage if there handmade??? Just asking is all. Wont be joining this one, dont like handmade pcs. To me a pc should have a actual pic of a ACTUAL place on it, not 1 made up in ones mind.

@BBQ - I have made PCs myself by printing images onto cardstock. You are right of course, it wouldn't be vintage if it was made up (o: But the idea is that the image is vintage, not necessarily the PC (see swap description) so this gives some scope for handmaking them.

also, I'd imagine it may be quite difficult for some people to get hold of a vintage handmade PC..I'm somewhat reluctant to join as I know printed image quality can vary if people can send handmade PCs, but what I was thinking of doing perhaps (if I can't get an 'original' postcard) is taking a vintage advert/part of one and gluing it to a blank postcard.. hope this is ok! :-)

@id0be1ieve - that sounds fine to me! The image doesn't have to be old, a reproduction is fine as far as I'm concerned, hope that makes it clearer (o:
