   Plastic postcard sleeves are available from most philatelic supply   
   companies.  Here are a few that carry them:   
      
   http://www.subwaystamp.com/   
   http://www.amosadvantage.com/   
      
   Alternatively you could make your own out of Mylar.  It is available in   
   rolls and can be folded around the postcard.  Or you could just use   
   clear photo corner mounts.
