Mother’s Day (Netherlands)
Google translates this as “Mom, I think you’re super skill” and that’s good enough for us. If we were to open a “Mother’s Day” theme category, we would start with this Boomerang ad card, mailed in 2013 with stamp and postmark. Grade: 1

Code: 30100432
Price: $2.00
Osoitepalvelu (Finland)
We didn’t want to create a link so we left off the .net, but this text basically says “find the address for a friend” in the context of: send more Christmas cards. Mailed in 2013 with stamp, faint postmark, and Priority label. Grade: 1

Code: 30100433
Price: $2.00
Für Nacht-schwärmer! (Germany)

Code: 30100435
Price: $2.00
You can find a common language (Russia)
One of those times when we really don’t know what to say. Is this an internet card? An ad card? It has a web address for vodkascandinavia though the text and graphics are in Russian. The card was mailed from Russia in 2013, with three stamps and postmark. Grade: 1

Code: 30100436
Price: $1.00

McDonald’s and Apple – scratch off (not a postcard) (PR China)
Though postcard-sized, unlike similar McDonald’s promotional cards in China, this doesn’t actually say “postcard” in English anywhere on it, and it would be hard to mail as one, though not impossible. The scan shows front and back, with the small silver area being a scratch-off promotion. We have a few of these, unused. Grades: 1

Code: 30100443
Price: $5.00
Marunouchi (Japan)
Though Japanese, the card was mailed from USA. The sender said she had no idea what it was about, but it seems easy enough to find out. Postal barcoding and ink on both sides, round “Global Forever” stamp, and postmark. Grade: 4

Code: 30100444
Price: $1.00
Psy Mind-Blowing Circus (Hong Kong) (not a postcard)
The size and shape of a postcard, but cannot be mailed as one because it is fully pre-printed on the reverse. Let’s just call it an “ad card.” We have a few of these, unused (of course). Grades: 1

Code: 30100445
Price: $1.00
Te hard gegaan? (Netherlands)
The text on the front becomes translated by Google as: “Gone too hard? Beware of the white haze. Drink driving – and drug free.” That’s clear enough. Two of these are available, both mailed in 2014. One has stamp and full Amsterdam postmark, and the other has stamp and Hertogenbosch postmark. Each one: Grade: 1 ($1)

Code: 30100446
Price: $1.00

Price: $1.00
Maličký telefon. Velká láska. (Eurotel) (Czech Republic)
And, in Czech, that translates to: “The tiny phone. Big love.” An ad from Eurotel in Prague, mailed in 2014 with a very large stamp, and full postmark. A bit of postal battering. Grade: 2

Price: $1.00

Kas Buvo, kol tavęs nebuvo… (Lithuania)
This card originated in Lithuania but was mailed from Spain in 2013 with two stamps and clear postmark. Google Translate renders Kas Buvo, kol tavęs nebuvo as “Who was before you did not …”, so we’re no further ahead. Grade: 3
