  • Budapest, Veres Palne

    Unused multi-view MTI Foto card for which we plead not knowing whether that is a pre-printed stamp in the postage area, or just an indicator of how much postage one should use.  Grade: 1

  • Tram – First day of issue, and later

    This very nice card seems to celebrate 100 years of tram service (1911-2011) and has a tram stamp and special May 2011 postmark.  But the card was mailed in 2012, with another stamp (not cancelled), and blue Elsobbsegi/Prioritaire label.  Anyway, great for collectors of tram postcards.  Grade: 1

  • Budapest, Parliament

    In maybe the 1980s this card was mailed from Austria (not Hungary, unless you want to close one eye to history), with stamp and indistinct postmark.  Grade: 3

    Price: $2.00

    Budapest, Parliament
  • Budapest, Belvaros

    District V is the heart of Budapest. The name of the district is Belváros-Lipótváros (English: Inner City – Leopold Town), which refers to the two historical neighbourhoods.  Inner City is the old town of Pest, while Leopold Town was established in the early 19th century, and became the political and financial centre of Hungary in the early 20th century when the Hungarian Parliament was built.  If you think that’s confusing, you should see the Wikipedia entry.  This card was probably mailed in the 1980s, from Austria (not Hungary), with stamp, airmail sticker folded over to the front, and indistinct postmark.  Grade: 4
