I agree, UV fade is an issue. I'm an old vintage postcards dealer. Fade of these collectibles would be a shame. Why not use a UV protection similar to what windows use? There's got to be a UV protection film out there that could be used as a cover. Also, if the postcards are scanned, it wouldn't be hard to replace the rose images each year with fresh ones that aren't faded. This would also protect the original postcard. Roses are sooo beautiful. They're always a favorite of mine to list. Enjoy the images! Here is a link that might be useful: Remember When Vintage Postcards - Flowers

We completely understand why you had to do this. :oD I've been researching horticulture careers, even though I don't have a degree in it. Why? Because all I think about is plants and planting from February to September. So I've been looking at ads just to see if a living wage can be made, and then I have to write letters to admonish the companies about their use of traditional fertilizers and pest controls. So even if I got a 4-year-degree, these companies will already have a folder on me in their nutso section! Waaaaahhh!

Love the many shades of Destined to See. And El Desperado needs to be on my list for next year:) You guys are making me crazy with pictures of that one! Like Kay said, I haven't seen a bad picture of it yet. Vickie

We used to own a store & enlarged items frequently for people. Depends on how large you want it though. You will get a better image if you don't scan it, but again, depends on how large you want it. Try any PostNet, UPS, etc. I'd call first. Our color copier was the best high quality and artists would come to reproduce their work, so you might could find one like that.
