Printable Valentine CardsPeople began to send Valentine's cards in the 18th Century. The earliest Valentine's cards are handmade because there were no companies selling cards back then. The cards are made out of paper. Lovers write love notes and romantic messages and decorate them with drawings and illustrations such as flowers, hearts, knots, etc. The cards are sent secretly and sled under the door or tied on a doorknob. The first printed cards were believed to have started to be marketed around the Georgian era. But the oldest cards that exist to this day were from 1797 and are now held at York Castle Museum. The card is decorated with flowers and Cupid images along with a romantic verse around the border.
It depends on how old the card is, the quality of the cards, and the rarity of the design. You cannot just find an old Valentine's card from your grandma's house and sell it at high prices. The cards that are considered valuable are the ones qualified as collectible items. One of the factors that make vintage cards valuable is age. The older the card, it's more likely to be higher in price. The second is the condition. No matter how old the card, if it's already ruined and formless, then it's worth nothing.
