Grand Prix
If you are into motor racing, stamps, and postmarks, this card is worth your attention. It was mailed in 1997 with four different large stamps, two of which have an automotive theme. There are also four postmarks, and a postal bar code at bottom reverse. Very, very sporty. Grade: 2

Monte – Carlo: Casino, Terraces, and Pigeons’ Shooting
Amongst piles of otherwise random postcards, once in awhile a treasure rises to the surface. Here’s one, but first we want to observe that we have pigeons on the ledge outside the room where we sit now, but we don’t shoot them. This real-photo card was mailed in the mid-20th century, with two stamps and indistinct postmark. The message is extensive and informative and the writer was both judgmental and happy. Grade: 1
