IDIOM MESSAGE

An idiom is a phrase or a fixed expression that has a figurative, or sometimes literal, meaning. The word peach is an idiom for someone or something wonderful. This postcard uses the idiomatic message: U.R.A. and a drawing of a peach that actually communicates “You Are a Peach” to the reader. One of the funniest Krogstad postcards I have seen shows members of the Burst family all of whom have the middle name Will. (sources: Wikipedia.org, FreeDictionary.com)

SCARCITY

Krogstad postcards are to be considered scarce to rare and an excellent addition to a collection.
