Long Lost Postcard Collection

Here is a pretty crazy story of a lady that lost her “art collection”.  She had been collecting post cards for years from all over the world.  She never really said if it was from places that she had traveled to or were they just post cards that she managed to get from various places. She did however say that they were very old post cards and now that they are gone, she is quite devistated.

Her collection isn’t really lost it was stolen from her.  Seems she was letting in and taking care of a person that turned out to be a not so good person.  Imagine feeding and caring for someone only to have them turn and take advantage of you and then rob you!

Because of this she is now adding a new section to her blog for digitaly scanned postcards.  Cards she finds and other members are scanning (in high res) their post cards.  Having them on the computer (and backed up somewhere) is nice but it still not the same taking down that old shoe box in the closet and thumbing through the actual cards.

Here is the original story and post.
