This box contains over 50 Christmas cards. I believe I counted 51. It also includes the envelopes needed for sending. I did not see a date, but I would get them to be from the 50s or 60s. The box has some tears and shows where from storage. The cards themselves are in good condition. Please look at the photos carefully as they are part of the description. I do not cancel bids or auctions so please make sure you want the item before bidding or buying. Thank you for looking and good luck bidding!
