Tišnov, Sanitorium
Tišnov is a town in the Brno-Country District of the South Moravian Region, 22 km northwest of Brno, near the confluence of the Svratka and Loučky rivers. In 2010 there were 8,704 inhabitants. Wikipedia tells us this, and we understand we’ve not written abut the facility, but the search engines will tell you that, too. So does the 2001 card’s caption, but all in Czech. Mailed in 2013 with a very large stamp, blue Prioritaire label, and full postmark. Grade: 1

Code: 20514043
Price: $4.00
Starý pivovár Rosice
A nice long caption, though all in Czech, of this multi-cultural festival in an old brewery. The card was mailed in 2013, with two different stamps, blue Prioritaire label, and faint postmark. One would not intuitively think this was Czech from the main photos, but … Grade: 1

Lokomotiva 242.205-3 CD u Nezvestic
We doubt we have this header right but the long captions are all in Czech, and this is what we see first. Mailed in 2014, with four different stamps, three postmarks, and a blue Prioritaire label affixed. A great example of a railroad postcard. Grade: 1

Code: 20514046
Price: $4.00
Cheb (Eger)
Multiple views, all identified, on this card mailed in 2014 with three stamps, two postmarks, and one blue Prioritaire label. Grade: 1

Code: 20514047
Price: $3.00
Old train
Our header for this contemporary postcard doesn’t do the extensive caption any favours, but it’s all in Czech so you might want to do that research yourself. Mailed in 2014, with stamp and postmark. Grade: 2

Code: 20514048
Price: $3.00
Plzeň, library
Also known as Pilsen, and famous for beer, not to mention being the fourth most-populated city in the Czech Republic, this city also has a nice library, and here it is. There’s an extensive caption. Mailed in 2014, with stamp, postmark, and blue Prioritaire label. Slight degrading on upper right corner. Grade: 2

Code: 20514049
Price: $2.00
Brno, St. Peter and Paul’s Cathedral, fireworks
Mailed in 2014 with two different stamps and partial postmark. Grade: 1

Code: 20514050
Price: $2.00
Prague, city view
Mailed in 2014, the sender used an interesting post office meter label as postage. Also has a blue Prioritaire label. Grade: 1

Code: 20514051
Price: $1.00
Mirov, Olomoucký kraj (Olomouc Region), State Prison
Irregular shape, mailed in 2014 with stamp, full postmark, and Prioritaire label. Grade: 1

Code: 20514054
Price: $2.00
Prague, multiple views
Mailed in 2014, with Prioritaire chop, two stamps, and postmark. The sights on the front are identified in Czech and English on the back, and include the Charles Bridge and Prague Castle, and various versions of old and new towns. Grade: 1

Code: 20514055
Price: $2.00
Tramvajovy
An extensive caption, entirely in Czech, tells the type and history of this specific tram unit. The card, and the tram, come from Ostrava. Three different stamps, two 2014 postmarks, and blue Prioritaire sticker. This card is a nice “catch” for collectors of tram postcards. Grade: 1

Code: 20514056
Price: $3.00
Prague, Charles Bridge and Hradcany
Unused card measuring 4-1/8″ x 8-1/4″ and captioned in 12 languages. Sorry if yours is not one of them! Grade: 1

Code: 20514057
Price: $3.00
Litoměřice, multiple views
Mailed in 2019 with stamp, postmark, blue Prioritaire label, and a small sticker of a cat on the reverse. Grade: 4

Code: 20514058
Price: $1.00
Pardubice
Mailed in 2020 with stamp, postmark, and large blue Pardubice tourism “chop,” this is a novelty as it is a postcard-sized jigsaw puzzle — we think — as the front is embedded under a clear layer of covering. So it’s heavy. It also has a pasted address label and other stickers on the reverse. Altogether, a very busy postcard. Grade: 3

Code: 20514059
Price: $3.00
Aukro
As far as we can tell, from far away, Aukro seems to be the eBay of the Czech Republic. Then Google translates the legend on the front of the card as “We carry out your collectibles”. Close enough. The card was mailed in 2020 from Prague, with stamp and blue Prioritaire label. Grade: 1

Code: 20514060
Price: $2.00
Brno, night view
Mailed with stamp, partly obscured postmark, Prioritaire label, and address label taped on. Grade: 5

Code: 20514061
Price: $1.00
Usti nad Ladem, Chemical Plant
… at least our limited knowledge of the Czech language suggests that the photo on this unused card is the administration building of a chemical plant — an unlikely subject for a Top 10 postcard but here it is nonetheless. Usti nad Ladem now may not be a large city (about 100,000) is a major industrial centre and, besides being an active river port, is an important railway junction. Not sure if the chemical plant is still there, though. Grade: 1

Code: 20514062
Price: $3.00
Usti nad Ladem, Strekov Castle
Unused, real-photo card. Grade: 1

Code: 20514063
Price: $4.00
Usti nad Ladem, Strekov, bridge
Unused old card, captioned in Czech on the back, and Google translates that as “View of the bridge and Strekov with Ferdinand’s Vysina,” which we realize is not much help. Nice card, though, a great view. Grade: 1

Code: 20514064
Price: $4.00
Prague, Woodrow Wilson Monument
We often need to be careful when we interpret old postcards, and here’s a case in point. Standing alone, it’s an unused sepia card captioned in four languages, very heavily aged and a small separation on the reverse upper right corner. It just says “The Wilson Monument” (in English) and someone long ago penciled “1920s” lightly on the reverse. But when we went to learn more, we came up with this online source dated 2011: “WASHINGTON, Sept. 12, 2011 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ — Seventy years after its destruction by Nazi troops, a memorial statue honoring President Woodrow Wilson will return to its original location on Oct. 5 in Prague … The Wilson Monument commemorates the role that the former U.S. president played in helping the Czech people achieve independence in 1918 …” So there! Grade: 4

Code: 20514065
Price: $5.00
Usti nad Ladem, stary most (bridge)
Unused, clean, old, real-photo postcard. Grade: 1

Code: 20514066
Price: $4.00
Burgruine Schreckenstein
It’s so strange. When we Google this, expecting to learn more about the castle, we only get entries for a 2016 German family film of the same name. A little tweaking leads to many different postcards of the castle (though not ours), but almost nothing in English at least about the castle itself. So we just list the unused card, with hopes you already know all about it. Grade: 1

Code: 20514067
Price: $4.00
Reichenberg (Liberec), Tuchplatz
We sincerely apologise if we are getting this wrong, but there seem to be two Reichenbergs: one in Germany (the first one that appears in Google) and another in the Czech Republic, now called Liberec but using the German name Reichenberg. As far as we can tell, this and our other Reichenberg cards represent what is now Liberec. If not, would you please let us know so we can fix this? This card, old and real-photo, is unused. Grade: 1

Code: 20514068
Price: $3.00
Reichenberg, Rathaus (Town Hall)
Unused, real-photo vintage postcard. Grade: 1

Code: 20514069
Price: $3.00
Reichenberg (Liberec), Rathaus
Unused old real-photo card, showing its age significantly. Grade: 2

Code: 20514070
Price: $3.00
Reichenberg, Gewerbemuseum
In English, now, the North Bohemian Trade Museum, on this unused real-photo card with a small age spot on the reverse. Grade: 2

Code: 20514071
