AGEING OF DEXTER PRESS POSTCARDS: Being the owner of over 1,000,000 Dexter Press postcards I began documenting the publishing dates of these collectible cards. Below is a chart of how to date most Dexter Press postcards. Look for the Dexter press # on the back in lower left corner or upper right corner near stamp box. Some 1950s cards may have the # in the lower center of back.
