** LEBANON. Glenn, DXers may be interested to know that a 1969 Radio
Liban QSL card has just fetched US$787 at an eBay auction. QSL cards
are well established as collectibles now, and recent price levels
(over US$50 each for AM/SW cards) would indicate that prices are
taking off.

An average collection of, say 1000 cards from the 1960's to date, may
well be worth over US$50,000 depending on which stations are included.
I encourage all DXers to insure their QSL card collections, to make
bequest provisions to lodge them with club collections and
preservation groups or museums, or if they choose to put them on the
market, to be aware of their potential value. 73's (David Ricquish,

I've got one of those!

Vintage QSLs became valuable collectibles on E-bay, even $358 for
Radio Américas, Swan Island.
