  • 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

  • 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

  • Psy Mind-Blowing Circus (Hong Kong) (not a postcard)

  • Te hard gegaan? (Netherlands)

    The text on the front becomes translated by Google as: “Gone too hard? Beware of the white haze.
