About
In 1977, ten postcard-collecting enthusiasts established the Toronto Postcard Club. They met once a month in Agincourt (Scarborough) and since then, their influence and contribution to deltiology in Canada has been significant. Of the original ten members, five are still actively involved in the Club. In 2002, the Toronto Postcard Club proudly celebrated its 25th year. In 2006, the Club hosted its 25th Annual Show and Sale.
Members come and go, and come back again! and number around 250 from Canada, the United States, and from as far away as England and Scotland. Their collecting interests are many and varied. Several Dealers are also TPC members and serve the club membership by participating in the ANNUAL SHOW and SALE and by buying, selling, and trading postcards with members and others.
The TPC newsletter ‘CARD TALK’ was first published in January 1980 as a photocopy mailing to members. It has developed from this humble beginning into a multi-page, black and white magazine style publication, with interesting and detailed historical articles on people and places as told through the pictures on a postcard. Many postcard images are reproduced in these articles. The Toronto Reference Library and, Library and Archives Canada keep copies of ‘CARD TALK’ in their collections. Card Talk also reports on club activities, club meetings and other items of interest to collectors.

Good morning.
I’m looking for not hard to find postcard backs…..ones with the drawing of a woman with her long locks flowing around the top and side of the card. I’ve seen them so often in the past but of course, didn’t pick them up. I am looking for two or three: one that is blank, and kind of tattered and brownish and two others, with messages (kind of snappy, interesting short ones) and dates, perhaps with stamps (or not). I am not looking for particularly rare or unusual backs or cards. Thanks so much. I am in Toronto and can be reached at Hyla Fox
