AN auction house is holding a valuation event in Redditch on Tuesday for anyone with any old postcards, stamps, coins, cigarette cards or medals.

Warwick and Warwick Auctioneers and Valuers will be at the Quality Hotel in Southcrest from 10am-2pm.

A spokesman said: "Many people don't realise that collections of old picture postcards can be quite valuable, especially animated street scenes with trams and early motor cars and industrial views such as coal mines.

"We will advise people on values and offer a vending service for those wanting to realise the value."

Home visits for larger collections may also be arranged.
