George Wagner has 100,000 postcards. That puts him squarely in the
category of collector, so it’s no surprise that the Yardville resident
is president of the Washington Crossing Card Collectors Club. But a massive collection like Wagner’s is hardly a requirement for
pursuing the hobby — though it may become a goal, as postcards are easy
to find, available for every interest, and relatively inexpensive.
The Washington Crossing Card Collectors Club was formed in 1972,
taking its name from the place where the meetings were first held and
continue to be held. During monthly meetings at the Union Fire Company in Titusville,
members can trade, purchase and sell cards. In addition, guest speakers
talk about different postcard topics and techniques, Wagner said.
The WCCC is the third-oldest postcard club in New Jersey. Wagner
estimated that the club has about 230 members, who hail from New Jersey
and eastern Pennsylvania.
