POSTCARDS. WE ARE THE LEADING AUTHORITY ON POSTCARDS. SO IF PEOPLE HAVE A QUESTION ABOUT POSTCARDS CARDS, THEY COME TO US WITH CLOSE TO 6 MILLION POSTCARDS. MARY MARTIN’S VINTAGE POSTCARDS AND BAYSIDE ANTIQUES AND HABERDASHER, GRACE OFFERS COLLECTORS AND AMATEURS ALIKE A CHANCE TO STEP BACK IN TIME. IT’S A TANGIBLE ITEM FROM THE PAST. IT’S A PIECE OF HISTORY. THEY WERE LIKE. LIKE THE EMAILS FROM, YOU KNOW, 50 OR 100 YEARS AGO AND SOME TOWNS YOU COULD ACTUALLY GET THE REPLY IN THE SAME DAY TODAY, MARY RUNS THE BUSINESS WITH HER SON, JOE. BUT IT WAS STARTED MORE THAN 50 YEARS AGO BY HER PARENTS. AND SINCE THEN THEY HAVE AMASSED A COLLECTION THAT DATES BACK TO THE 1800S WITH CUSTOMERS AROUND THE GLOBE. AND THIS MONTH THEY’RE HOSTING AN ONLINE AUCTION TO RAISE MONEY FOR THE FIRE VICTIMS IN MAUI BY SELLING POSTCARDS FROM THE ISLAND, SOME DEPICTING LAHAINA, AS IT WAS FOR HUNDREDS OF YEARS BEFORE THE FIRE. AS WE SORTED OUT SOME OF THE POSTCARDS THAT WERE FROM THE 50S, 60S AND 70S WITH MESSAGES THAT WERE MAILED TO THE STATE. AND THIS ONE WAS SENT TO CHARLES STREET. THIS IS HI CECILIA. I’M SURE HAVING A GREAT TIME. I’M DOING SOMETHING ALL THE TIME. I DON’T MISS YOU AT ALL. YOU HAVE TO THINK ABOUT THIS. IF YOU WERE IN KANSAS IN 1905 AND SOMEONE SENT YOU A POSTCARD, YOU COULDN’T TURN THE TELEVISION ON AND SEE WHAT MAUI LOOKED LIKE. MAUI IS SPECIAL TO MARY. SHE WAS MARRIED THERE AND IS WHERE THEY HAVE SPENT MANY OF FAMILY VACATION. AND SO THEY ARE DOING THEIR PART TO HELP THE COMMUNITY THOUSANDS OF MILES AWAY. IT’S NOT LIKE OTHER PLACES WHERE THERE’S A DISASTER. YOU HAVE ALL YOUR SURROUNDING STATES THAT THEY ALL CAN COME HELP THERE. YOU’RE ON YOUR OWN, BUT YOU’RE NOT. YOU KNOW, YOU’RE STILL US. WE CARE ABOUT YOU. AND WE’LL TRY TO HELP ANY WAY WE CAN. THE DEADLINE FOR THE ONLINE AUCTION IS SEPTEMBER 16TH. IT’S YOUR CHANCE TO WALK AWAY WITH A LITTLE BIT OF HISTORY THAT NO LONGER EXISTS.
