[Hallicrafters] Large collection of QSL Cards - what to do?

[Mike Everette]

There are some web sites which may give you ideas... do a Google search for QSL Cards, QSL Card Collections etc.

One big site has an index of the call signs on all the cards; yes, I know this would take a lot of time.  Apparently the person has scanned (or will scan) all the cards, and if someone wants a copy of a card it is available.  There may be a small fee involved.

You could always eBay them, but I think they don't sell well there.

You could also take them to hamfests in clear-sheet binders and offer them for, say, $1 per card.  I found several sent by old-timer friends of mine, back in the 30s and 40s -- I knew them much later of course -- like that at a hamfest and bought a number.  Best to organize them by call areas and countries.
