Postcards


South Africa has a wonderful trove of postcards. As collectors, SACS members often include postcards in their displays of stamps and postal history. This page is for the promotion of postcards. Recently a new club, the South African Postcard Interest Group, was formed in South Africa to study and promote postcards.
