If you are a collector of the London Life Rotary Photo Postcards then this list maybe of help to you. As a collector myself this list can be both inspiring and daunting. You think you are making progress by picking up one London Life postcard here and there and before you know it your purchases seem to hit a brick wall. Once you start looking for the rare examples then you will more often than not come away from a postcard fair empty handed.
But that is what postcard collecting is all about. It’s the fun of the chase and you just never know what may turn up at the next fair. When your collection grows and you are looking for those hard to find London Life postcards then you will need patience. Let your collection grow naturally and never pay beyond what your budget allows. You will be amazed how many times I have paid over the odds for a postcard that I have never seen in 40-years only to see it again a few weeks later for a fraction of the price. Most annoying!
