I have 98 postcards sent from Indochina to France during the early-mid 20th century. The vast majority have canceled stamps on the front on top of the image as I think they are much more desirable than with the stamp on the back. All the handwriting is in French and many of them have script on the front as well as the back. The entire collection is open to offers - no parting out sorry. Please PM if you area a serious buyer.

Large Collection of Indochina Colonial Postcards
Frank Sinatra said, when he was older of course: "Old is good."
OP, what do you think of contacting the French Institute to put up an exhibition (and maybe organize an auction?) of those postcards? There's a huge number and I think it would be really insightful and fascinating for visitors to read the messages that were sent at the time. Just an idea I'm throwing out there. I personally can't afford to acquire them but I would be really interested in seeing and reading them.

There is an active trade in these postcards, but very few have the canceled stamp o the front with personal script on either or both sides. As with any collectible, condition, subject matter, age and rarity all figure into the value.Lucky Lucan wrote:This crowd sell those cards, loads of Cambodian ones, if you want some:
