Check out this ridiculousness...
http://cgi.ebay.com/Columbus-State-Hospital-Ohio-Postcard-Collection-Rare-/200549640429?pt...

I bet there are some amazing, never before seen images in that collection, but for that price!

I'll have to check that link out when I get home tonight (firewall at work). Man, I sure wouldn't trade my family in, but what I'd give for the days pre wife&kids when I had extra money to blow on stuff like that!

I contacted the seller of this collection yesterday in hopes that he would send me some scans of a few of the cards. $300+ for a collection of postcards is quite salty, especially when he only posted 2 photos with the auction.
This morning I opened my inbox and found 9 scans. I really like this hospital, it's perhaps my favorite kirkbride of all time. I would love to own this collection! Here are the scans...

I'm trying to look at your links but all I get is this:

Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 33554432 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 3200 bytes) in /home4/asylumpr/public_html/includes/media/Bitmap.php on line 195

Good call on contacting him, I was thinking the same thing about him having no photos posted. I guess the price isn't really that bad though when you divide the price out and look at the price per card.

WSH- I added all the photos to the Columbus State Hospital Image Gallery, you can see them there since your getting an error.

Hmm interesting problem. However, seeing as those images were uploaded to the site you can post them here in this forum just like you would do if you were adding those images to an article either by image tags or gallery tags. Remember: this is not a standalone forum like other forums but a wiki page masquerading as a forum. So all wiki commands work here too!

Either way nice looking images!

The Columbus listing has duplicates if I had to guess by his description. Great stuff though ThomasP! I managed to figure out the wiki code to post 1 here, #s 309 & 312 might have to be re-sized, they come up blank. The state archives has some great old photos of the hospital, but they aren't online and have to go in person to see them, maybe next spring.

The Columbus State Hospital collection is back... and half the price. It is really tempting me now, and if I didn't have a bunch of new bills coming at the end of the month for my new house I think this would be mine. Damn grown up responsibilities!

I hit up the local antique mall on Saturday since I had not been since summer. Picked up a few cards for my collection, nothing too spectacular other than the Hudson one.

If memory serves, the Hudson card was never mailed, so there would be no date, I will confirm that when I get home this eve. Based off the buildings and cars. Late 1950-60s perhaps?
