Selling them 2-3 for a dollar is gonna be a massive loss. Around here the touristy ones go for considerably more.

Also know that if you are taking landscape pics(which for postcards I assume you would) if you take them at local,state or federal park with intent to sell the pictures you often have to purchase a permit to do so. The parks around here charge a permit fee just to do portraits of someone in the park if you are making money off of it.

I had a look at that, but the retail is pretty much the production cost, there's literally nothing to be made doing it small scale.
