Code: 30100477
Price: $1.00
Sydney International Art Series (not a postcard)
To repeat, this is not a postcard. Think of it like two ad cards laid side-to-side. We have unfolded it to show you one facing. If you were to flip this unfolded item to the other side, you would see B&W details of 2014-2015 exhibitions. Ungraded.

Price: $1.00
Singapore Police Force
This was mailed in 2013. The large stamp is there, and so is a full postmark, though on the opposite side of the reverse. Interesting for its hi-tech approach to recruitment. Creased across upper left corner. Grade: 3

Price: $2.00

Petrobras
For us, this is a mystery card in several ways. Petrobras is the national oil company of Brazil and the unused card seems to be an ad for them, possibly produced for the Brazilian market as the slogan on the back is only in Portuguese. As for the photo, we have no idea at all what’s going on there. Grade: 1

Code: 30100488
Price: $3.00
