Lake Nakuru, flamingos
At one time (the 1960s, when this unused card was first bought), the flamingos on Lake Nakuru were one of the world’s great natural marvels. We are afraid to go back and look. Grade: 1

Cheetah
At the rate things are going, the only way many people will ever be able to see a cheetah is in a zoo or on a postcard. We hope not. This card was mailed in 1992, with two stamps and a little bit of a postmark. Grade: 1

Mt. Kenya
Mysterious in more than one way, this old card is unused but has some abrasions on the back and a brown stain at upper reverse that could be mistaken for a printed logo, but we believe it is a drop of tea or coffee. Leaving that aside, Mt. Kenya itself is not identified, but the only caption is “Club Logo” and the card’s own reference number is MKSC 2. So we know the Sapra card was issued by the Mount Kenya Safari Club in Nanyuki (now Fairmont Mount Kenya) and that’s the club in reference. Grade: 3
