    Yes, they can be listed under postcards in the correct geographical category.

    You can see my examples here: Vinculo (http)

    As you've already pointed out, they tend to be views of popular holiday destinations and in my experience they are not sought after by collectors.

    I use the term "lettercard" to describe those items, because that's what they are called in the UK. However, there is a distinct difference between the UK and the American (including Caribbean) versions. The American versions are printed at both sides, whereas the UK ones are printed on one side, allowing the sender enough space on the back to write a proper letter. I assume that's where the name "Letter card" comes from.

    I have no idea if there is a specific term to describe the American version - maybe a US postcard dealer could let us know.

    Customers at postcard shows in the US will generally ask for "folders" when looking for this type of item. Some dealers put them right with the postcards in with whatever category they fall under and some simply have a box of just these postcard folders.
    I'd recommend using the word "folder" in your title if you have room; some collectors in the US may search by that key word.

    I agree that they belong in the postcard category here.
