Code: 20545126
Price: $3.00
Transbaikalia, The Chara Sands
Can a postcard be both bleak and beautiful at the same time? Magnified by its size (6″ x 8-1/4″), it commnunicates utter desolation. Mailed in 2012 with one tiny stamp and partial postmark, it survived the journey but has some ink transfer on the front. Grade: 3

Price: $8.00
St. Petersburg, Hermitage exhibition

Code: 20545128

Kutulik, Vampilova Museum
Technically this is probably not a postcard. It is 4″ x 7-1/2″ and looks as though it may have been #10 in a set. The reverse has many lines of printed (Russian only) text extending into what would be the address area, and there is also a written message from the sender, who put it into an envelope. However it could easily have been mailed as a postcard if someone had wanted to do that. Grade: 4

Moscow, Arbatskaya Metro station
Captioned in eight languages that might mislead you into thinking the photograph was taken in 1935, but clearly that’s not true: the station must have been built in that year. The card, crisp and clean, was mailed from Moscow in 2012 with four stamps and full postmark. Grade: 1

Rapid Transit Systems of Moscow
They may look the same at first glance, but this card is not the same design as our 20545152/31000155/34800213. For one thing, this card has the system’s logo on top.
