Panorama TopCard – lighthouses
More of an extended postcard than a greeting card, nevertheless it is folded in thirds (made that way) and opens to reveal the 12 lighthouses you see in the scan. When folded, the reverse acts as a postcard and was mailed in 2012 with stamp and most of the postmark. Please do note that this is not a conventional postcard–just think of it as a very long one, that folds in thirds. Grade: 2

Zullen we gaan barbequen..??

Amsterdam, City tram, after the rain
It seems the rain is not only in the photo, it might have affected the written message on the reverse as well. That kind of pen shouldn’t be used for poscards. Mailed in 2012, with three or four stamps (hard to say) and a Priority label. Grade: 3
