A new mini Public Collectors booklet about the art of QSL cards: specifically black and white cards with rather rough drawings of people or their surrogates. From the back cover: People that talked to each other over CB radio (a particularly popular form of communication in the 1970s) made printed calling cards that they exchanged with others. They are called QSL cards. In CB radio speak, “QSL” means “I confirm receipt of your transmission.” These postcard-size printed cards were traded through the mail, or through collector clubs and at CB user social gatherings. What people spoke about may be lost to time, but these cards remain.
Dimensions: 7 x 4.25 in
