Tram
It was so tempting not to list this card at all. The first reason would have been the Lithuanian (not Latvian) barcode sticker on the front — but it adds character. The next reason was that the card was mailed from Lithuania (stamp and Pirmenybine label are there, and postmark) with the sender pointing out that “I think this photo was taken in Latvia because in Lithuania we don’t have trams.” That makes sense, and so we went ahead and listed the card anyway. But as Latvia, and not Lithuania! Grade: 3
