Donkey
We are so isolated over here in Hong Kong that we don’t know if this is supposed to be a comic card or not. In any event, it was not postally mailed but the entire reverse is written over with a message. Grade: 4
-
Tenerife, multiple views
Mailed in 1973 with three different stamps and all or part of five different postmarks from the sending and receiving offices. Grade: 2
-
Festival Cruises
The unused card is, essentially, an ad card from Festival Cruises. It identifies the location as the Atlantic Coast of the Canaries. Grade: 2
-
Las Palmas, Las Canteras Beach
Unused, older, heavily handled Ed. Beascoa card 5078. Grade: 3
-
Las Palmas, Las Canteras Beach, orange tent
We think, but aren’t certain, that this card was made in 1967. We do know it’s unused, and extremely heavily aged. The design on the front is just that–a design, not a real stamp. Grade: 3
-
Las Palmas, Panoramic View
In 1969, someone wrote a message in Portuguese on the back of this card, but didn’t postally mail it. Grade: 4
-
Valley of Agaete
“…where time seems to stop”. That might be nice, we think. It would stop postcards from aging further. Unmailed card with a 1982 message written on the back. Not postally mailed. Grade: 4
-
Tenerife Island, Playa de las Teresitas
Unused, some bumping around the edges. Grade: 2
-
Tenerife, Playa de las Vistas (Los Cristianos)
Look closely and you’ll see some blue (and white) beach umbrellas on this unused card. Grade: 1
-
Holiday Tenerife
All the scenes you could want on this unused 4-3/4″ x 6-5/8″ card. Grade: 1
-
Isla de Lanzarote
Unused card whose trilingual caption says (in English): “Timanfaya – Camel’s excursion between volcanoes and lava”. Grade: 1
-
Playa del Ingles
Mailed long ago with two stamps and mostly indistinct postmark, the card’s writer was clearly ready to go home. Even from the Canary Islands! Grade: 1
-
Tenerife, Mount Teide and golden sunset
Stamp is there but the postmark is indistinct … we place the card somewhere in the 1980s. At least the writers were enjoying themselves. Grade: 1
-
Tenerife, multiple views
Unused, older John Hinde card 2CT 42, whose trilingual caption (English, Spanish, German) identifies the three views, including Medano Beach and Bajamar. Grade: 1
-
Lanzarote Island, Playa de Papagayo
Mailed in 2024, with stamp but no postmark. Grade: 3
