Crown Princess Victoria and Prince Daniel, 2010 wedding
Mailed in 2018 with stamp and postmark, and various barcoding. Grade: 1
-
“Ella Marie Blind”
Googling “Ella Marie Blind”, which is what appears in the caption area, only leads to a Norwegian auction house. So we don’t know. But the card was not postally used, has a message written across the entire reverse, and more writing on the front. Grade: 5
-
Malmo, Margaretapaviljongen
Mailed in 1970 with stamp and postmark, but the card is extremely heavily aged and with abrasions on the back. Grade: 5
-
Växjö, Biskopsgården Östrabo
Mailed in what looks like the 1970s, with two stamps and indistinct postmark. Grade: 2

Skoklosters Slott, View from the park
Skokloster Castle is a Baroque castle built between 1654 and 1676 by Carl Gustaf Wrangel, located on a peninsula of Lake Mälaren between Stockholm and Uppsala. It became a state museum in the 1970s and displays collections of paintings, furniture, textiles and tableware as well as books and weapons that amount to 20,000 items. It also has the dubious distinction of being unfinished. The unused postcard is aging and has some staining on the reverse, but at the same time, recent photos make it look like trees now take up much of the space where the card shows none. We can’t verify that. Grade: 2

Sveriges Riksbank – Tio Kroner
For reasons you might guess, we were tempted to list this card at US$0.95, but, sorry, it’s worth more than that. The (Swedish) caption on the back — if it were in English — would read, roughly: “in those days, a ten was still worth ten” and on the front it tells you which of those items you could get for 10 kronor in 1926. Well, that was yesterday, and yesterday’s gone. Unused card. Grade: 1
-
Stockholm, View from the Tower of the Town Hall
The front of this 1960 card is generally good; the reverse has two stamps and a clear postmark but also the remnant of some tape from an album. Grade: 3
-
Stockholm, Grand Hotell & Kungl
This old (mailed in 1955), real-photo card (with stamp and postmark) does spell Hotel with two lls, and we’re assuming that was correct at the time. The hotel dates from 1874 and reviews are mostly elevated, as are the room rates. Grade: 1
-
Stockholm, Kungl, Slottet
Real-photo card from 1954, with stamp and postmark. Minor water smudge over one word. Grade: 1
-
Om jag hade pengar …
… which in Swedish means “If I had money …” but it won’t take much to buy this unused postcard. Grade: 1
-
Sveriges Riksbank – Fem Kroner
Whatever we said about the earlier ten kroner card like this one, the same would basically be true here for 1940. Unused. Grade: 1
