Where to Buy Maryland Postcards (You've Found Us!)

Introduction

There's something a postcard does that no text message or email can replicate. It's physical. It traveled. Someone picked it up, thought of you, wrote something by hand, stamped it, and sent it on its way. That's a small act of intention that feels increasingly rare — and increasingly appreciated.

Maryland is a place worth sending. The flag, the crabs, the Bay, the food, the history — there's so much here that deserves to be shared, and a postcard is one of the best ways to do it. That's why we've made it a point to carry one of the largest Maryland postcard selections you'll find — because our state has a story, and we want to help people tell it.

We Actually Have Them — A Growing Collection

At The Maryland Store, our collection covers a lot of ground:

• Maryland scenes — the Maryland state flag, blue crabs, Ocean City nautical charts, Baltimore's Inner Harbor by night and day, the Baltimore Harbor skyline, Black-Eyed Susans, Love from Maryland
• Maryland pride — Maryland State symbols, Historic Black Marylanders, the Maryland flag and natural blue crab
• Washington DC landmarks — the Capitol, Lincoln Memorial, Jefferson Memorial, the White House, the Smithsonian Castle, the Washington Monument
• Recipes — Maryland Crab Cakes
• Seasonal and occasion cards — Maryland Snowman Winter Wonderland, Santa Claws Crab, Celebration Crab All Occasion
• America 250th — officially licensed designs celebrating the nation's 250th birthday

Some We Curate, Most We Create

Part of what makes our postcard collection special is that it's not just a rack of generic tourist cards. Some of our postcards come from other designers we've sought out because their work genuinely captures Maryland. Others — like our recipe postcards and Maryland-themed designs — are designed and produced by us, which means you won't find them anywhere else.

We're also always working on new designs — Maryland is full of stories worth telling, and we're constantly adding to the collection. Have a suggestion for a postcard you'd love to see? We're genuinely open to hearing it. Reach out to us at bluecrab@themarylandstore.com.

Who's Sending Postcards in 2026?

There are the obvious senders — travelers, grandparents, people on vacation who want to send a little something home. But there's also a growing community of dedicated postcard enthusiasts.

Postcrossing is an international project that connects people around the world through physical postcards. You send a postcard to a random person somewhere in the world, and in return, you receive one from a random sender elsewhere. With members in over 200 countries, it's one of the most heartwarming corners of the internet — and it runs entirely on postcards. If you're a Postcrossing participant, our Maryland collection gives you something genuinely interesting to send.

50-state collectors are another group we see in the store. A parent or grandparent comes in looking for Maryland postcards because their child is collecting one from every state — for a school project, a geography lesson, or just because someone started them on it and now they're hooked. It's one of our favorite reasons people find us. If you're on a 50-state postcard mission, Maryland is an easy one to check off — and we'll make sure you leave with something worth adding to the collection.

Weddings are another occasion where postcards have found a second life. Couples use them as gift bag tags, tuck them into table settings, or send them as a personal note from the newlyweds — a keepsake guests can actually hold onto. A Maryland postcard makes that moment a little more personal.

Scrapbookers have long known what the rest of us are rediscovering — that a postcard is the perfect ready-made element for a memory page. Vacation layouts, travel journals, state-by-state collections — a Maryland postcard drops right in, already sized, already designed, already telling the story of a place.

Pen pals, journalers, and memory-keepers round out the list — people who simply believe that some things are worth doing the slow way.
