An incredible postcard collection could net a Birmingham grandmother thousands of pounds when they go under the hammer later this month.
Jane Westwood, from Burntwood, has amassed an astonishing 750,000 postcards over the years and after deciding to sell them at auction, she’s been told they could be worth around £75,000. Dating from the early 1900s to the present day, they will be sold by Richard Winterton Auctioneers and may well amass her a small fortune, reports Birmingham Live.
The 63-year-old has been collecting them since she was just six years old. Her self-described ‘obsession’ began when her sister emigrated to Australia years ago and began sending her postcards and they now completely fill a spare bedroom in the home she shares with husband Graham, 69.
