Welcome to StadiumPostcards.com, the ultimate destination for stadium postcard enthusiasts! With over 35 years of experience in the hobby, I've had the pleasure of buying, selling, and trading stadium postcards since 1985. It all began during a memorable road trip from Salt Lake City to my parents' house in Laurel, Maryland. As we journeyed east on I-70, we caught a glimpse of the awe-inspiring Harry S. Truman Sports Complex, where the Kansas City Royals were playing a night game. The stadium was a sight to behold, filled to capacity and illuminated with vibrant lights, while fountains erupted in celebration of the Royals' home runs. In the background, the partially lit Arrowhead Stadium stood as a magnificent backdrop. Although the view lasted just a brief moment, the memory remains etched in my mind. If you've had the privilege of visiting these iconic Kansas City stadiums, you'll understand the awe and excitement they inspire!  Down the road a bit we stopped for gas and that's where I purchased my first stadium postcard of the stadiums I just saw an hour previously.  I still have that original postcard today, it's the common KC-S305 standard chrome.  mo-kansascity-kauffmann-stadium-arrowhead-stadium-chr-kc-s305-941050.jpg

That pivotal road trip ignited a passion within me, leading me to collect stadium postcards wherever my travels took me. Over the next decade, I had the fortune of attending games at historic ballparks such as Chicago's old Comiskey Park, Wrigley Field, Baltimore's Memorial Stadium, Mile High Stadium, Astrodome, Superdome, and Kingdome, among others. On each trip, my top priority was to scour the racks for stadium postcards, and within ten years, my collection had grown to approximately 100 unique postcards. These cherished pieces were meticulously organized in frames and a single photo album, preserving the memories and magic of each stadium.

Then came the internet, and in 1998, I stumbled upon eBay, a game-changer for collectors like me. As I typed in the keywords "stadium postcard" for the first time, I was astounded by the flood of results. Dozens of stadium postcard collectors and hundreds of postcards were available for sale and trade! I discovered a vast array of postcards, from vintage classics to contemporary gems, at various price points. It was astonishing to realize that there were so many individuals passionately collecting postcards showcasing stadiums. Fast forward over 35 years since that first Kansas City postcard, and my collection has flourished from a few postcards in a photo album to an impressive assemblage of over 15,000 items, meticulously stored in custom sleeves, albums, and file cabinets. dupes.jpg
