  • Liikaa Pelissä?

    The reverse of this card (mailed in 2012, Moomin stamp, faint postmark, blue Priority label) is mostly taken up with a Finnish caption that seems to offer help for a gambling addiction.  We’re not certain of this, but it’s as good an explanation as any.  Grade: 2

    Liikaa Pelissä?
  • Lake and multiple views

    The card doesn’t say which lake this is, but it was printed in Finland and anyway the sauna is a giveaway.  Mailed in 2012 with Aurora borealis stamp, part of a postmark, and blue Priority label.  The card has an irregular shape, as the scan shows.  Grade: 2

  • We heart Helsinki (not a postcard)

    We suppose you could send this as a postcard if you taped an address (and stamp) on the other side, but it’s not a postcard.  The reverse–or, the other side–has one larger voice bubble that looks like what you see here, and a bird is sitting on the bubble.  Unused.  Grade: 1

    Price: $3.00

  • Helsinki, Cathedral and Main Post Office

    Interesting that it would be these two places on one card, but the card is big enough (4-3/8″ x 8-1/8″) for both.  Mailed in 2012 with stamp and blue Priority label, but the stamp was not cancelled.  Grade: 4

  • Ajattelen Sydämiä Sinusta

    Google’s translation:  “I think you have the hearts!”  The writer’s translation:  “I’m thinking hearts about you!”  In this case, we like the writer’s translation better.  We would also ask our cat, but he doesn’t speak Finnish either.  Card mailed in 2012 with stamp and postmark.  Grade: 1

  • Valo on Jyväskylässä – City of Light

    This is actually a 5-7/8″ x 8-3/8″ ad card for the city of Jyväskylä, promoting “City of Light, Finland’s only event dedicated to urban lighting.”  Apparently it’s to compensate for the dark autumn season.  (Side comment, nothing to do with this postcard:  for urban lighting 24/7, come to Hong Kong …)  Mailed from Finland in 2013 with stamp, faint postmark, and Priority label.  Minor postal creasing for a card of this size.  Grade: 3
