Awesome card!! I

love Halloween cards, but for years they were so expensive that I never really hunted them. Now the prices have come down a little (like almost all postcards), so I look forward to picking up a few more along the way.

Thanks, Don! Halloween postcards are definitely still among the most expensive ones. I pick up most of mine here and there at postcard shows and antique co-ops. I usually go for the imperfect ones that don't cost as much and then hope that I can figure out how to fix the tears and creases with my freeware image editing program. This one actually didn't take too much touch-up, but I have some others that I haven't been able to resuscitate with my rudimentary editing skills.
