I ended up with a box that contained some postcards. I have picked out the few that are not damaged and I will attempt to sell them individually.
The damaged cards mostly have water damage and show some molding areas on the back side of the postcard, not on the picture. Would there be any interest if I grouped them all together and sold them as a damaged lot?
Interest in these "damaged" cards would depend on what the subject is - if it something of interest to a collector. If it is a subject that is collected by someone they will probably not be put off by less-than-perfect condition as long as you describe it in detail.
Just posyt photos or scans and be truthful about the condition. If these are common cards though, I woldn't expect much out of them.

Yes if these are Old Used post cards and they have stamps stamp collectors will show interest maybe if you list as a lot of damage postcards does nothing tear off the corners and sell in stamps area your not gonna get a lot of money more then likely but salvages some value.
also if some of the cards are old used and signed and have signatures of people some sigs may still make them valuble.
if the pictures on the front of these are not damaged some of these too will sell well even if the back is shot.

depends on the type of postcard. very old postcards will sell for a few bucks, even if damaged in some way PROVIDED they find their collector.
newer cards (ie, they look like magazine photos) are too common to sell if damaged. they are a hard sell even if the condition is good.
A 'lot' of damaged cards will sell for a few bucks provided they are older than chrome.
