Uncommon Postcards for Curious Minds

Cardypants is a joint venture between two of the largest private sellers of vintage postcards in the world: Mary L. Martin and Mike Blood.

Mary is a second-generation collector of vintage postcards, and one of the world’s leading experts in the field of deltiology (the study and collection of postcards). She specializes in postcard history, rarity, and value, and has worked with leading companies around the world to document history and develop visual designs using vintage postcards. Mary’s inventory is among the largest in the world, covering a wide range of locations, time periods, and subjects.

Mike is one of the most respected sellers of vintage postcards on eBay, working under the store name The Postcard Dude for over twenty-five years. With over half a million positive reviews, Mike has sold hundreds of thousands of cards to collectors all over the world. He prides himself on his ability to provide a seamless shopping experience for postcard lovers, with an emphasis on top-notch customer service, prompt shipping, and an exemplary product.

As a company run by two deltiological powerhouses, Cardypants celebrates the rich history and vibrant cultures represented through postcards. Whether you’re a seasoned collector or a new hobbyist, our goal at Cardypants is to provide an online shop where you’ll find exactly the card you’ve been looking for. Every postcard is individually evaluated to provide customers with accurate descriptions and condition, from professionals with unparalleled experience in the field. Postcards are carefully packaged, and shipped promptly from our joint locations in Maine or Maryland.

Cardypants is a family-run business steeped in history and built on years of experience. We look forward to connecting with you whatever your interest in postcards might be, and becoming your favorite vintage postcard seller for years to come.
