Sun. Skate. Seventies.: 100 Postcards: – Box of Collectible Postcards Featuring Lifestyle Photography from the Seventies, Great Gift for Fans of Vintage Photography, Fashion, and Skateboarding

This set is well made. The photographs are on sturdy postcards and are contained in a very nice box just big enough to hold the cardsMany of the photographs can be found in the photographer's other two books titled, "Silver Skate 70s" and "Locals Only," but there are other photographs in this set not found in the books. In the Book version they are featured as full page photographs. "Silver Skate 70s" features all black and white vintage photography and "Locals Only" features color vintage photography. The "Sun. Skate. 70s: 100 Postcards" is all in color. The two books and the 100 postcards serve as a time capsule. For many, the 1970s was a stormy decade, but despite everything that was going on, some found self expression through various art forms. Skateboarding was just one of those art forms.I enjoy watching the passion that these teenagers and young adults had. They took their sport very seriously and their passion and seriousness is reflected in these photographs. (All of them are beautiful). I am very glad (and grateful) that the photographer was there to capture and document these moments. I couldn't be there personally to witness these events, but I can share the moments, as they are beautifully displayed, through the photographs.Overall, is this set of 100 postcards worth it? Absolutely! For just pennies per card they are more than worth it. It is a great value for someone interested is all types of photography. It would have a special appeal for lovers of vintage photography.For me, the postcards were not enough, I purchased the other two books as well, and plan on buying them again, to send as a gift to a friend. All three items for under $59.00 is more than a bargain.

I grew up in Southern California in the 60s and 70s, and these reminded me of that time. Some of the images weren't anything special, but some are really nice. Sturdy cards, good for Postcrossing.

Most of the photos are really nice, but some are of just plain text or signs that seem like filler.

Really get out your ruler and think about the size to make sure they are what you want. These are smaller than typical tourist postcards.Really thick paper, I love that!A lot of the photos are of children and teens. The photos are very artistic and taken from interesting angles. Given the age of the subjects, the lack of a shirt, and in some cases the camera angle, I'm not sure I will send all of them. We live in a very politically correct world, and right now there is extra hype (Q) about the depiction of children. I don't think there is anything wrong with these postcards, but out of an abundance of caution I will probably not send several of them.

Great photos and make awesome post cards bringing back the 70's when skate boarding was the rage....really fun!

Perfect for Postcrossing and 70s nostalgia. You can feel the sunshine and lightness of California past. Good card stock, fun pictures.

Unreal selection of photos on these cards! Almost too good to use. If you like Hugh Holland’s work you won’t be disappointed.

Una gran colección para los nostálgicos del skate old school, a un precio muy bueno. Las fotos reflejan el espíritu de los inicios del skate en California, a mediados de los 70, con una plástica que hace querer transportarte en el tiempo a esa época, dejarte unas buenas melenas :-D y patinar descalzo como muchos de los chavales que salen en ellas. Las postales quedan muy bien en un marco para fotos múltiple que compré en otra tienda y, como son nada más y nada menos que 100, las puedo ir cambiando a medida que me voy aburriendo de las que tengo puestas.

Gute Qualität der Karten. Kein dünnes Material. Ansprechende Bilder. Pefekt! Preis-Leistung gut.

Als Kind der 80er eine wunderbare Postkarten Box für mich mit 100 traumhaften Postkarten mit Bildern , Skateboard ,Discorollern an ungewöhnlichen Orten.Hochwertige stabile Karten.

Las postales son de muy buena calidad. Son de buen groso y las fotos son muy bonitas. En la parte de atrás hay mucho espacio para escribir. Muy recomendable.
