Tasmania, Ross Female Factory
The card depicts a UNESCO World Heritage-nominated site that served as a prison for female convicts in the 1840s. That’s the good news. The other news is that the card has two rows of orange postal barcoding on the front, and the back is a mess of stickers, labels, and even one of the stamps is pasted right over the other one. Generously we will call this Grade: 4.

Code: 20601094
Price: $13.00

Sydney, City to Surf
We could probably fit this card into a great many topical categories but we will restrict it to three, and welcome you to hunt for which ones they might be. Mailed in 1990 with a stamp and full postmark, the card explains that “People from all over the world participate in the Sydney fun race, which takes place every year in August.” Still going strong. There’s some postmark ink transfer on the front. Grade: 2

Price: $0.50

Mailed in 2012, this “I heart” postcard has one stamp, mostly legible postmark, blue Airmail sticker, and red “Posted” rubber-stamp mark. There is some postmark ink transfer on the front. Grade: 3

Burra, SA – Windmill in Canola Crop
Sitting here in otherwise wonderful Hong Kong, we look at the sky in postcards like this and know that local children here hardly ever see this shade of blue. As for the card, it probably qualifies as a Maximum Card because it was issued by Australia Post with “Postage Pre-Paid” pre-printed on the reverse (and postmark), but please note CAREFULLY that the stamp you see in the scan is also printed onto the card and never was a separate stamp. Grade: 2

Code: 20601123
Price: $6.00
