Two Palphot 8307 cards are available, 1974 vintage. One is unused and as-new (Grade: 1, $7.50).

Also looks like it was stapled (Grade: 5, $2).

Jerusalem, Famous Mosque of Omar
Unused card produced for The American Export Lines on behalf of “The Four Aces,” four vessels offering a 43-Day Yankee Cruise to the Mediterranean (SS. Excalibur, SS. Exochorda, SS. Exeter, and SS. Excambion). Exceptionally, we reproduce here, from Wikipedia, what it says about one of those ships: “SS Exochorda, a 473-foot, 14,500-ton cargo liner in service with American Export Lines from 1948 to 1959. A member of the line’s post-war quartet of ships, “4 Aces“, Exochorda sailed regularly from New York on a Mediterranean route. Originally built in 1944 as the military attack transport USS Dauphin (APA-97), the ship was extensively refurbished prior to her service as a passenger-cargo liner. Following her service as a cruise liner, the vessel served as the floating dormitory ship SS Stevens for the students of Stevens Institute of Technology, a technological university, in Hoboken, NJ. At the end of her service life she was scrapped, in 1979.” These are things we learn when we scan and enter postcards. Grade: 1
