Q: As a Christmas gift, I received the 1995 Nickel Tour book. It states that the postcards discussed were put in chronological order mainly by the collection of Vernon Orr and then the 1979 checklist book. So, is the Orr collection still with us and where might it be? Does Disney Archives have as extensive a collection of cards?

A: I do not know what happened to the Orr collection. Both of the authors of the 1995 book—David Mumford and Bruce Gordon—have passed away. The Walt Disney Archives does have a very large collection of Disney park postcards. The Archives is not open to the public, but if you have specific questions, they can try to answer them for you.
