Oversized (5.75″ x 7.75″) card that might have been a postcard but was mailed in an envelope. It has two tape marks on the reverse. There was a pre-printed area to enter reception details, but the station used a very large rubber stamp and entered the information there. Grade: 3

Mailed in 2010 with large stamp and partly legible postmark. Grade: 1

Aveiro
The card was mailed in 2010, with stamp and blurry postmark. To us, the card’s a bit dark and the more interesting part is the stamp–Portugues, of course, portraying the USA Revolutionary War in 1776. How unusual these days. Grade: 2

-
