Explicar lo que ha hecho para preservar sus tarjetas postales (las postales de la especialidad de nivel básico).

Preserving low value postcards is not very important, except to preserve your pride in your collection. One option is to get a shoebox size lock-n-lock box for your collection. This will keep out moisture, pests and avoid accidental crushing of cards as well as keeping all your collected cards together.

If you have highly collectable or rare postcards you can keep them in acid free mountings and books. You might find a photo album to slide cards into. For very valuable cards place them in rigid card holders similar to how high value sports cards are stored.
