For years I have been a dedicated deltiologist--Greek for "nut who collects business cards."
Once I have harvested a big batch, I sort them out and mount them in books.
Probably four-fifths of the cards, if not more, are from New York City.
But I also pick them up from places I visit. The round card above is from a buttonarium in Berlin. (Knopf is German for button.)
I especially relish the photographic business cards--like the left one on the second row above, from the Stage Deli.
