Helsinki, Snowchurch
Another of the many Finland cards with stamp but no postmark. We wonder how much revenue their post office loses? Stamp (uncancelled), Priority label, Grade: 3

Code: 20518042
Price: $3.00
Car on road

Price: $6.00
Helsinki, multiple views
Everything you would ever want to see of Helsinki, and–believe it or not–every one of these photos is explained in three languages in the caption on the reverse. Mailed in 2011, the stamp and Priority label are there, but no postmark at all. Grade: 4

Code: 20518045
Price: $5.00

Fingerprint Greetings
That’s part of what’s in the caption. The card’s sender gently explains that the card comes from a police exhibition stand that tries to tell children that police work is nice and worth considering. Lucky Finland! Mailed with Aurora borealis stamp and Priority label. Grade: 2

Code: 20518050
Price: $6.00
Sahkoveturi Sr2 3214
Non-Finnish-speakers may find the caption daunting (Suomen Rautatiemuseo Hyvinkaa, Sahkoveturi Sr2 3214, Valmistaja ABB/SLM/Transtech, 1997) and we know this card to have come from the Finnish Railway Museum. Actually we have three of them. Two are in identical conditions: one was mailed in 2011 with stamp and Priority label, but no postmark, and the other in 2012 (Grades: 3, $6) and the other in 2011 with stamp and full postmark (Grade: 1, $8).

Code: 20518051

Code: 20518052
Price: $8.00
Nelja Ilmansuuntaa
Let’s say, for the sake of clarity, that we think this is an abstract rendition of a compass from a Finnish art gallery. The card was mailed in 2011 with one stamp and nearly full Tampere postmark, along with Priority sticker. Grade: 1

Code: 20518053
Price: $4.00
Huoletonta
We entered this sentence into Google Translate, and what came back was: Worry is a cross-country skiing without the sweat boards! That result alone is incentive for us to go out and start learning Finnish. Card mailed in 2011 with three stamps, Priority label, and full postmark. Grade: 1

Code: 20518054
Price: $6.00
Terveiset Savonlinnasta, Bad (Kylpyla) Hotel Casino
Confusing captions but definitely mailed from Finland in 2011 with Aurora borealis stamp, and Priority and address labels affixed. We know the card’s front says “Greetings from Savonlinna”, while the Finnish and English captions on the reverse say something else. Grade: 3

Helsinki, HKL 150 trolley
One really needs help to deal with Finnish-language captions, but it’s a tramway. (FYI, the caption reads: HKL 150 (Duwag/BBC) 1967/1970 Senaatintori) and the picture itself seems to have been taken in 2005. This card was mailed in 2012, with Priority label and one stamp, partial postmark, and name label affixed. Grade: 3

Turku, Turun Paiva
Putting “Turun Paiva” into Google leads to some odd results and some perfectly normal ones but they tend to be in Finnish and hard for us to decipher. So, on to the card: mailed in 2011 with three stamps, Priority label, and the message glued on. Grade: 4
