Toronto Postcard Club

The Toronto Postcard Club (TPC) is Canada's largest postcard collectors' club, with over 250 members. Although based in Toronto, membership extends across Canada and includes collectors from the United States. The club was founded in 1977 when ten enthusiasts began meeting in Agincourt, then part of the Borough of Scarborough.

Meetings: Monthly via Zoom (September through the spring — no summer meetings). Guests are welcome to attend a Zoom meeting before joining.

Publication: The club's magazine Card Talk has been published since 1980 and features articles on a wide range of postcard topics. Back issues are available in the members-only section of the website.

Annual Show: TPC has hosted an annual show and sale for over 40 years, where members and dealers buy, sell, and trade vintage postcards.
