Greetings. I’m Neil Jan Gale and the Director of the Chicago Postcard Museum at ChicagoPostcardMuseum.org. I’m going to start off this blog with a little gripe I have about postcard photos/images on Internet auction sites.
Recently I purchased some Chicago postcards over the internet and on internet auction sites. First, is it too much to ask for a front and back image of the postcard you are selling? Is that image you posted on your auction from your cell phone?.
Hey… If you’re going to sell paper collectibles, such as postcards, buy a scanner. As the old saying goes: A scanned image is worth a thousand words. I say that great images (yes, multiple images) on auction sites make more profit. Try providing a digital image large enough to see fine detail. The Chicago Postcard Museum works with an image size of 1024x667 pixels at 96 dpi for the large detailed image and then a thumbnail of 280x182 pixels at 96 dpi..
There. How therapeutic! Now you give it a try. Any gripes or comments?.
