-

Another old Cervantes card (613.1), serrated edges. Not postally used but with a very long message in Portuguese completely filling the reverse. Grade: 4
-

Not postally used but in 1981 someone from Cochabamba badly wrote a long message covering the reverse. Grade: 4
-
Santa Cruz, Plaza El Arenal
In 1988, Lula wrote a long message in Portuguese on the back of this heavily aged card, but didn’t postally mail it. Grade: 4
-
Santa Cruz, Tipico carreton
Choosing our words carefully here: as we sometimes say (is this an oxymoron?), we are rarely at a loss for words but this card leaves us so. While it may not encourage us to visit Santa Cruz, we appreciate that they were looking for distinctive postcard subjects. Unused, aging card. Grade: 2
-
Vicunas en el Altiplano
Unused old Fenno card B-351. We see vicunas, we think of sweaters, but that was long ago and they probably don’t do that any more. Or do they? Not here in Hong Kong, at least. Grade: 1
-
Santa Cruz, Los Tajibos Hotel – Casino
The unused card does say “Hotel – Casino” but online now it’s clear the casino is gone and the hotel is also a convention centre. It gets good online reviews, so give it a try and bring this card with you. Aging card, shows some handling. Grade: 2
