Swiss National Parks (folded Maximum Card style)
Given limitations of the scanner, what we’ve done is opened up this card to its full length (13-3/4″. x 5-1/2″) and then re-folded the smallest page so you can see both stamps. The other side is fully printed with information in German, French, Italian, and English about the 100th anniversary of Swiss National Park in 2014. So this is not a postcard by the usual definition. Just so you know. We have not added any additional folds to those that were there when we got this. Ungraded.

Code: 20552071
Price: $8.00

Helvetia 500 phonograph record (not a postcard)
We give credit to another website, stampboards dot com, for describing this unusual and creative item, which looks like a novelty postcard but is actually a SFr 5 mini souvenir sheet that can be played on a record player. In maximum card style (but without the additional stamp), it seems to have a postmark but we should let you do your own research on this. Phonograph record stamps have been around awhile, and that they look like postcards means they could probably be used as such. Unused. Grade: 1

Code: 20552080
Price: $18.00
Geneva, Le Pont du Mont Blanc et la Ville
Mailed in 1954, this card has serrated edges, the stamp, the postmark, and a Par Avion rubber-stamp chop. Abrasions around the rim on the front. The sender was definitely glad to be away from England! Grade: 3

Code: 20552081
Price: $1.00
