South Jersey Postcard Club Show

Last weekend I attended POCAX 2009, a postcard event put on by the South Jersey Postcard Club. It was held at the beautiful Doubletree Guest Suites in Mount Laurel. Even with the weather being somewhat on the miserable side, there seemed to be a strong turn out. I particularly enjoyed the postcard exhibits, of which I include two photos here today. Yes, there were people viewing the exhibits, and they stepped back out of the pictures when I began taking these. See how nice and polite postcard people are?

For those of you not familiar with a postcard exhibition, visitors can vote on their favorite "board" of postcards, usually assembled by the members of the hosting postcard club. I've been to several of these, and it is always difficult to pick a favorite, but this time around it was much more so than usual. However, I did manage to settle on one in particular, cast my ballot, thanked everyone, and was on my way (it was a very busy scheduled day for me, so I only had approx. 20 minutes of free time to visit).

I didn't go into the ballroom where the dealers where selling postcards, as that usually turns into a disappointment when it comes to finding any holography-related postcards. However, I always look for the positive, and I see all this as a great opportunity within the postcard world to share my own collection and experience. The postcard world has yet to see and appreciate these absolutely gorgeous postcards! I'll have an announcement coming up for a big event in Feb. of 2010 for holography postcards in the PA, NJ, NY, DE, and MD areas.

Here's another closing shot of one of the postcard exhibit areas:
