Condition: This post card is really showing its 110 years in that its upper left corner is badly bent and torn and also has another diagonal line in it...all other corners are bumped and the card is showing all over small age stains while the back is soiled. It also has a slight musty odor which can be removed by placing in a zip lock bag with a dryer sheet in it. Because of possible allergies, I leave that up to the buyer to do unless asked by buyer to do before shipping. There may always be small manufacturer's defects or microscopic blemishes or flaws consistent with age and use which is to be expected in antique and vintage items. Rest assured that any major issues will always be both documented and photographed to the best of my ability. Be sure and check the photos as they are an integral part of the description and do a much better job of showing condition issues than what I can explain through the use of the written word. Use the magnification tool and feel free to ask questions.
I may have more photos available and can always take more so ask for specific views if you want to see things I may not be showing to your satisfaction.
Postcard packaging: All single post cards I sell will be protected in an acid free plastic postcard sleeve and secured between two pieces of cardboard before being mailed in a cardboard envelope.
Importance of Photos: I can not stress enough the importance of checking the photos and looking carefully at them through the magnifying tool. Photos are part of the description, just as much as the written word is, and if it is in the photos, any visible defect, even though I may not have pointed it out in writing, can not be used for a 'not as described' complaint. I am an old lady with fading eyesight and I do sometimes miss things that the photos catch, or maybe there are other defects that I feel it is more important to point out in the written word. Ebay only gives us so much space, so we must prioritize. If you see something in the photos that bothers you, by all means, point it out and ask me about it.

Disclaimer: Photographs with a ruler or the metal tape measures are there to show scale only and usually will not show exact measurements due to the fact that the measurements on a wooden ruler start 1/16" into the wood, and the ruler, and also the item being different lengths away from the camera lens than the ruler or tape measure, even if it is only a fraction of an inch will also create a perspective issue. Please always go by my stated measurements rather than guessing at the exact sized based on the photos.
Note: Because of the way computers and cell phones are set to interpret colors that show on their monitors, and because of people's perceptions of color descriptions, the colors you see on your screen may not be exactly the colors you will get but might appear a bit darker or lighter, or a shade or two different. I always do |
my best to show colors as close to reality as I can get them, but keep that in mind when you make your orders as, although I will accept returns for any reason, I WILL NOT accept a small difference in color shades as a valid reason for a 'not as described' claim so that you can save on shipping. Of course, if I say that something is black and it turns out to be red when you get it, then obviously the fault is mine and the 'not as described' claim will be accepted |

Shipping: I purchase postage online when I package the item. The tracking number shows when that postage was purchased and does not start when I actually take the item to the post office to be shipped. Note, I show a 5 business day handling period and although I may get your item packaged and ready to ship on the first or second day, It is possible but not probable that it may take all of those five days for me to get your item to the post office to actually ship it. Please don't be concerned if you check your tracking number and find out that the item has not yet been shipped if it is within my five-day shipping window. If you do need your item in a hurry for a birthday or special occasion, just let me know and I will be happy to do my best for you. |
