One of my favorite pastimes is visiting antique stores and collecting postcards.I can spend hours digging through boxes of old postcards. J.O. Parker What started out nearly 20-years ago with a handful of postcards from towns that my mom lived in growing up in Southern Missouri has now grown to around 2,000 postcards.Most of my collection centers around places that I have lived or visited. And many have a personnel connection such as Will Rogers (Oklahoma’s Favorite Son and the namesake of my high school), Route 66, Oklahoma features, Missouri and Iowa.I have also purchased lot of postcards on eBay through the years.
