Hi everyone,
I’m not entirely sure if this is the right subreddit to post this, so I hope I'm not bothering anyone.

Two months ago I was on vacation in Tokyo, and I was staying just a 5 minute walk from Akihabara.
Even before leaving for the trip, I knew I wanted to buy maybe one or two hentai manga, but once I saw the various shops in Akiba, I got a bit carried away lol.
In one of these, at Melonbooks specifically, the clerk gave me some shop bonuses, including 2 postcards.

After returning to Italy, I put everything away and only now had the time to properly look through what I bought, and I discovered that one of the volumes I purchased also included a postcard inside (precisely, the manga volume in the center of the top row).

So right now I have 3 hentai postcards, and I admit I would absolutely love to start a collection.
I am not interested in economic value or particularly rare or sought-after pieces. My only goal would be to gather many beautiful artworks (or at least, to my taste).

So I am looking for new postcards to add to my collection, but the truth is that I am completely new to this world. I have never purchased hentai material online before, and I don't really know where to look for these postcards without spending too much.
For example, I noticed on Mandarake's website that some are listed for just a few hundred yen each, but I’m not sure if they are actual postcards or simply other purchase bonuses.

If anyone with more experience would be willing to give me a hand to get started, sharing some tips on where to look or how to identify them better, I would be incredibly grateful. I’d also love it if you just wanted to chat about it and show me your own collections for some inspiration.

Thank you all for your time and attention!

P.S. Even though he probably has no idea who I am, I want to thank that Melonbooks clerk here. If it weren't for him giving me those bonuses, I probably wouldn't even know these postcards existed, and I wouldn't have discovered this new passion
