My sister bought me a collection of vintage french postcards. I really want to decorate my wall with them, but I don't want to use tape and ruin them. Is there a way to put them on the wall without destroying them or the wall?

How about getting some cheap frames to put the postcards in? It would eccentuate the postcards, keep them from getting ruined and from getting dirty.
If hanging them up is your only option, try 3M's products - they have tons of things that will keep your things and your walls from getting ruined.

Why don't you frame them?
or put them in a plastic sleeve, you could just use some from a photo album, they should be the right size, then it won't be a problem to tape them up.
You can also buy wire to hang across a wall and then have a bunch of little clips, so they are all hanging acros the wall or you could do the same thing but hang them vertically instead.

If they are vintage, you want to protect them from the elements, including household air which includes grease "fumes" when you cook, humidity etc. - try putting them in picture frames - you can pick up some pretty nice frames for cheap at a Dollar Store. If you don't want solid framed frames, they might have those clear acrylic ones you just slide the pictures into. Or buy really big frames and put a collage of the cards in them using a coloured bristol board for the backing and photo corners (again available at a dollar store) [Gotta love those dollar stores ;-) ]

Use double sided tape! I've had that problem before, and I bought the tape at a craft store, and it worked great, no damage to either wall or postcard ect...

Any posters I buy, I wait to open them until I get them laminated, then I can use tape, tacks, or staple the plastic so the poster itself is always untouched and it lasts forever.
This could work with postcards too if you want to laminate them.

I would go to Staples or Office Depot and get this blue lookin' playdoughy clay-like stuff that's mean specifically for sticking paper on without ruining it. I forget what it's called but it works.

in line with danger wrapping them in a chunk of saran and tapping the loose aspects at the same time, or probable laminating the postcards, would desire to guard them for a at the same time as or maybe nevertheless long you like them taped to the wall
