Special thanks to Brian Lund, Richard Higgs, John Alsop, Ryan Powell
and Mike Clark for their assistance in compiling this
listing. We welcome any new information and scans of Gothard
event and disaster postcards not listed in this section so we
can build a more complete picture. The scarcity rating and
valuation information below is only a guide and open to
interpretation. The standard postcards have remained quite
static because they are so accessible. The extremely rare
examples can bring very high prices, especially when offered
for sale at auction where prices can naturally become
inflated when collectors are bidding against each other.
