The Denver Postcard Show, now in its 9th year, will have it's largest show to date on April 30 and May 1, 2010. The show will be held at the Jefferson Country Fairgrounds Exhibit Hall, 15200 W. 6th Ave., Golden, CO. Hours are Friday, Noon – 8 PM and Saturday, 9 AM – 5 PM. Admission is $4.00 and good for both days. Food concessions will be available on site.

For all you large letter postcard collectors, the recently published book, Large Letter Postcards: The Definitive Guide, 1930s-1950s, will be for sale at the show. The authors will be present and willing to autograph your copy of the book.
If you are new to postcard collecting and have never attended a show in the past, be sure to plan on spending a full day shopping and browsing. Most dealers will accept personal checks as method of payment, and of course cash, however, credit cards cannot be accepted. Be sure to visit your ATM or bank before coming to the show!
There will also be dealers available to appraise collections you may be interested in selling and most dealers are always looking to buy better collections. If you have cards you are interested in selling and would like to bring them to the show it is best to do that late Friday afternoon or mid morning on Saturday. Dealers are very busy on Friday when the show first opens.

If you have never attended a postcard show come see what it is all about. Bring the whole family! Get your children involved in a fun hobby at a young age. They can learn so much about history, culture, geography and more. If you are doing genealogy research chances are you can find images of towns your ancestors were from or images of schools, churches, hospitals, businesses and town views that connect you to your ancestors.
