All forms of card collecting are popular hobbies throughout Australia. There are independant card collecting groups in New South Wales, Victoria, the Australian Capital Territory and Western Australia. Some of these are currently at work constructing internet sites. There are some full time and a number of part time dealers in cards in each state of Australia but not many work from shops. Postcards and sometimes cigarette and trade cards can usually be found at philatelic and coin fairs.
Members have access to a large library of reference books which is available at each meeting.
Visitors who wish to see how we operate, bring some cards for assessment or sale or who are just visiting town are welcome. We are now working on the web site which will be placed on-line in the forthcoming months. Queen Victoria's portrait was featured on many cigarette, trade and post cards. Edward VII featured on hundreds of cards in many guises during his almost 9 year reign - from the event of his coronation to portraits of his family and his meetings with other royal dignitaries of the time. This site is maintained for the QCCS Inc. by Marcel Safier, Brisbane, Queensland, Australia.
