The worth of old postcards depends on the subject matter and the age. Whether they are written on or not, they might have some value. It also depends a great deal on what a buyer is willing to pay.

∙ 14y agoMany variables involved in pricing postcards:
- Is it a picture postcard?
- Is it postal stationary?
- Is it a special event card:
- Does it have a special cancellation on it?
- Is the picture of a identifiable site?
- How old is it?
- What stamp is on the card?
- Is it in mint condition?
- Has it been water stained or creased?
You can purchase them anywhere from $1 to several hundred dollars depending on the factors above.

∙ 10y agoIt depends on a few different factors: how old the cards are, what condition they are in, and what is portrayed on them. Some historical post-cards are very rare, while others are quite common. The harder-to-find the card is, and the more it is about a topic that collectors are interested in, the more money it might be worth. You may want to look online at places like eBay, where there are many collectible post-cards for sale. You will see a wide range of prices.
And a word from the historians among us-- old postcards, whether you can sell them or not, are often valuable for their educational importance-- because of the historical information they contain. They show us what the important landmarks were, what old streets and buildings looked like, how people used to dress, and who was considered famous (some promotional postcards were printed up by department store owners or by local musicians). And sometimes, they will contain a signature from a person who lived many years ago, and that gives you more information about who was sending postcards in those days.

I will buy those immediately. Please put a message on my WikiAnswers message board.

What can postcard stamps be used for?
If you are talking about cutting out the postcard stamp area, and sticking them on an envelope or a package, I think it is the same in theory as cutting stamps that were stuck to a letter, unused, and glue them to another letter to use. I am also trying to find if there is some restrictions, because if I can use the old postcards, that is unused postage. Postcard stamps can also be used in stamp collecting. They can be used to stamp anything, such as letters. Stamps are like money and they have to add up to the current postage, that is all.
