Grusse aus Brilon im Hochsauerland, multiple views
Two stamps, postmark, trilingual Luftpost label on this card mailed in 2011. As the writer says, “greetings from a small place in Westphalia.” We had heard the mythical Australian folk hero Bronc Morret had taken up residence there, but can’t verify it. Grade: 2

-
Berlin, Kemperplatz
We’re not certain what to say about this card, mailed in Berlin in 1933 with stamp and most of the postmark. In all respects it looks like the left half of a two-part card, except that all four corners are equally rounded. The message looks like it might have been continued, as there’s no signature. But what message there is might just be the most startling of every card in this site. The writer would not have succeeded as a fortune-teller. We will be conservative and assume this is just half a card, though it could stand on its own. The price simply reflects the bizarre message. You may ask us, if you like. Grade: 4

-
Furtwangen, multiple views
Several cards in our website come from the collection of what was then a young lady named Sharon who travelled well and had many friends who did the same. She lived in New Jersey, but the Jersey shore was never going to be enough for them. Certainly not this fellow, who sent the card to Sharon in 1977 with stamp and blue Mit Luftpost sticker affixed. Grade: 1

airberlin
Card of a Boeing 737-800, and the caption has technical details. The registration number, D-ABKC, confuses airfleets dot net, and confuses us too. It may be that this aircraft is now with the Romanian airline Tarom. Or maybe not. Go see. Three of these cards are available. Two were mailed in 2011: one has two German stamps and partial postmark (Grade: 2, $5) and the other has three different stamps from Austria, also partial but illegible postmark (Grade: 3, $5). The third was mailed in 2013, with stamp, postmark, and Priority label (Grade: 1, $5).
