Availability Scale: We have loosely defined 4
categories of availability for classifying postcards in our
collection. There are many degrees of availability within each main
category and the opinion of availability is subjective. These 4 main
categories have been created to convey to the reader the approximate
availability of a postcard within our collection. The availability
is subject to change as new research comes to light.
-
Common - A common postcard is one where many examples
are known to exist. Most modern postcards are considered common
due to the large numbers of cards published and distributed.
-
Uncommon - An uncommon postcard is one that does not
surface often. There may be many examples of an uncommon card in
circulation, but just not as readily available as a common card.
-
Scarce - A scarce postcard is one that is hardly ever
seen outside of a few well known postcard collections such as
The Southport Times' Collection, the New Hanover County Public
Library's North Carolina Collection or the University of North
Carolina at Chapel Hill's North Carolina Collection.
-
Rare - A rare postcard is a postcard where only 1 or
2 examples are known to exist. Cards in this category may not
even exist in the largest and most complete collections. Cards
in this category have extremely low publication rates and
extremely low distribution rates, adding to the rarity of the
card.
