Millions of vintage postcards, ads, magazines, billheads, posters, and more will be on display at the Old Dominion Postcard Club Postcard and Paper Show in Chester this weekend.
The ODPCC has put on its annual show for over four decades. For a $5 donation at the door, visitors can comb through countless postcard and paper items for sale, chat with dealers, and see exhibits from club members.
Bonus: You could uncover the mystery of paper items you already own with a free appraisal from an ODPCC expert.
The show will take place today, Nov. 15, 10 a.m.-6 p.m. and tomorrow, Nov. 16, 10 a.m.-5 p.m. at Brightpoint Community College in Chester. Your $5 will allow you to attend one or both days.
