Quebec City, typical street in historic area
Nicely atmospheric view — and barbershop cards can be hard to find — on a card mailed long ago with 4-cent stamp and partial postmark. Grade: 2

Code: 20102528
Price: $5.00
Niagara Falls, Ontario
Whether from the American or the Canadian side, Niagara Falls postcards are not in short supply. Someone could put together quite a collection of views from all perspectives. This is an unused Plastichrome card P11251, showing American Falls with Horseshoe Falls in the background. We would like to know what the element is that sticks up from the lower left. Grade: 1

Code: 20102529
Price: $2.00
Canadian Rockies, Johnston Canyon, waterfall
Unused card not specifying Banff but we know that’s where Johnston Canyon and Twin Falls are. Grade: 1

Code: 20102530
Price: $2.00
Canadian Rockies, Lake Louise and Victoria Glacier
Climate change effects being what they are, we thought we’d do a bit of searching to see how Victoria Glacier may have been affected. In this case, Dr. Google is not giving up any secrets. We tried. Unused, aging postcard, some age foxing on the reverse. Grade: 2

Code: 20102531
Price: $3.00
Thousand Islands (ON), Out of Sight Channel
If you Google this, you are going to get endless references to TV or movie entries; and if you use the alternative spelling, “Out o’ Sight,” you get mole traps. Neither of those helps us, so we’ll just list the old Plastichrome postcard P28010 with its upper left corner abrasion. Grade: 2

Code: 20102533
Price: $2.00
Quebec, Chateau Frontenac
Ancient unused but highly aged postcard showing the Chateau in all its glory. Grade: 2

Code: 20102534
Price: $4.00
Bellevue Valley, Algoma Central Railway
This unused card of a scene 20 miles north of Sault Ste. Marie is not an ad card but promotes an Agawa Canyon tour. Two perforated edges. Grade: 1

Code: 20102535
Price: $2.00
Montreal, Lafontaine Park, Rustic Bridge
Mailed in 1932, somehow the stamp is still there and the postmark is clear. There is a substantial crease through the upper left corner, though. Grade: 3

Code: 20102536
Price: $4.00
Ste-Anne de Beaupre (PQ), The Basilica
Very old, unmarked postcard. Grade: 1

Code: 20102537
Price: $3.00
St. Leonard (NB), Acadia Restaurant, Rowing on a Quiet Pond
The restaurant attached its name to this generic Dexter Color Canada card, aging but unused. Serrated edges. Grade: 1

Code: 20102538
Price: $1.00
Niagara Falls (ON), The Canadian Horseshoe Falls
Unmailed Plastichrome card P71650 with perforated upper and lower edges — so it had been part of a linked set — and a 1975 date inked above the postage area. Grade: 4

Code: 20102539
Price: $0.50
Niagara Falls (ON)
Specifically, an aerial view of the American and Canadian Horseshoe Falls on a Plastichrome card P71647 with upper and lower perforated edges and a 1975 date inked above the postage area. Grade: 4

Old and unused Valentine-Black postcard Th.Is.4 from the Bond Street Series. Grade: 1

Code: 20102542
Price: $3.00
BC, glaciers and mountain ranges
How interesting it would be to know how much of the glacial area you see in this photo is still there. This unused card has a small bit of staining in the caption but is otherwise clean. Grade: 2

Code: 20102543
Price: $3.00
North Bay (ON), Memorial Park and Monument
An old, unmailed card with “with mule and children 1947” lightly penciled on the reverse. Grade: 3

Code: 20102544
Price: $3.00
Montreal, City Hall
An old, unused card with left perforated edge. The card is stained and in poor condition, but undeniably authentic. Grade: 5

Code: 20102545
Price: $2.00
Nestor Falls (ON), Hanson’s Wilderness Lodges
Now called Hanson’s Hideaway Lodge, and with fine online reviews … the property attached its name long ago to a generic Plastichrome design P12384, called “Indian Summer”. The card is clearly aging, but clean. Grade: 1

Code: 20102546
Price: $1.00
Banff, Mount Rundle
Unused card whose lower caption indicates it might date from 1960. Grade: 1

Code: 20102547
Price: $2.00
Montreal, Saint Joseph’s Oratory in 1908
Unused sepia card in fine condition. It’s ironic, though: we know this is a very old postcard, and when the caption says “The Shrine as it appeared in 1908” we’re not certain if they really meant “a long time ago” or “yesterday”. No matter! Grade: 1

Code: 20102548
Price: $2.00
Montreal, Saint Joseph’s Oratory, The Main Altar of the Crypt
Spooky old sepia card similar to the previous entry. Unused. Grade: 1

Code: 20102549
Price: $2.00
Montreal, Harbour
We cannot imagine how the stamp and most of the 1908 postmark have survived, because the rest of the reverse is in hopeless condition. But the card is old, authentic, and a record of the past. Grade: 4-

Code: 20102550
Price: $3.00
St-Georges Est (PQ)
Unused. Grade: 1

Code: 20102551
Price: $2.00
Gaspe (PQ), Grand Greve
The strange thing is, if you Google “Grand Greve” to learn more about it, all you get is a place in Nova Scotia, not Quebec as this card indicates. But the unused card’s caption is quite specific, so we’ll go with that. Grade: 1

Code: 20102552
Price: $3.00
Toronto, view of the twinkling lights
Mailed in 2022, this Postcard Factory card has pre-printed worldwide postage, and no postmark but a scrawl through the stamp area. Grade: 2

Code: 20102553
Price: $3.00
Prince Edward Island, Gathering Irish Moss
Mailed in 2022. The stamp is there and so is an unreadable postmark. Grade: 1

Code: 20102554
Price: $3.00
Views of Prince Edward Island
They’re all identified in the caption on the reverse. Card was mailed in 2022, with stamp and numeric postmark. Grade: 1

Code: 20102555
Price: $4.00
Royal Hudson along Howe Sound
The stamp and an Airmail sticker are there, but otherwise this card from 1982 can only be considered as a space filler. Grade: 5

Code: 20102556T
Price: $0.20
Toronto, Aerial view of Ferry Docks
It has two stamps but otherwise you should only think of this card as a space filler. Grade: 5

Code: 20102557T
Price: $0.20
Toronto, CN Tower
Mailed in the early 1980s, with stamp and indistinct postmark — along with a thumbtack hole somewhere in the tree leaves. Grade: 4

Code: 20102558T
Price: $0.50
Horseshoe Bay Ferry Terminal
Mailed in 1979, the card’s stamp and a couple of postmarks are there, along with a thumbtack hole in those tree leaves at the top — hard to see, but it’s there. Grade: 4

Code: 20102559T
Price: $0.50
Victoria (BC), The Butchart Gardens
The postmark is not distinct but this card would have been posted in the later 1980s with a 78-cent stamp and airmail sticker. Grade: 1

Code: 20102560T
Price: $2.00
Canadian Rockies
Here’s a 4-7/8″ x 6-3/4″ card mailed with a $2.65 stamp (not postmarked, which is becoming the norm for Canadian postcards). The mountains and lakes are identified in the caption, so this is a decent overview. Blue airmail sticker. Grade: 3

Code: 20102561T
Price: $2.00
Banff (AB), Bow Falls
Near the Banff Springs Hotel, the not-too-high Falls as represented on this card mailed in 1989 with 76-cent stamp and postmark. Grade: 1

Code: 20102562T
Price: $2.00
Vancouver, Expo 86
No, not Chinatown, but the entrance to PR China Pavilion’s decorated archway at Expo 86. Mailed however in 1996, with 39-cent stamp and postmark. Grade: 1

Code: 20102563T
Price: $3.00
Jasper National Park (AB), Maligne Lake
About all we can say is that here’s another of many lake postcards for you. Mailed from Lake Louise (!) in 1988 with a 74-cent stamp and readable postmark. Grade: 1

Code: 20102564T
Price: $2.00
Sainte-Anne-de-Beaupre (PQ)
The Basilica of Sainte-Anne-de-Beaupré is a Roman Catholic place of pilgrimage and has a copy of Michelangelo’s statue, the Pietà. The basilica is known as a place of miracles: one of the builders of the original church, Louis Guimont, helped build the church despite having severe scoliosis and when the church was complete, he could walk independently. Subsequent visitors have left their canes and crutches behind, and the main wall at the entry into the basilica is completely covered with crutches. None, however, to be seen in this card, mailed in 1989 with a 76-cent stamp and faint postmark. Grade: 1

Code: 20102565T
Price: $1.00
Montreal, downtown view
Not postally used but with a short message written on the reverse. Grade: 3

Code: 20102566
Price: $1.00
Niagara Falls (Canadian Horseshoe Falls)
Mailed in 1975, with stamp and multiple international postmarks, the card had been redirected to a different address in England. Grade: 3

Code: 20102567T
Price: $1.00
Banff, Canadian Rockies, The Bow Valley and Bow River
… on a card mailed in the 1970s with its stamp and indistinct postmark. It shows the Fairholme Mountain Range. Grade: 1
