Angers, La Tour du Pont de la Haute-Chaine (Maggi) (France)

Liqui-Moly (Belarus)
This is an interesting card, and to be honest we didn’t know where to classify it. It was produced in, and mailed from, Belarus, with three stamps and two full postmarks, and address label taped on. It’s a ship, it seems to be an ad, it has multiple website addresses, and it also says “Happy New Year”. That’s as much as we plan to say. Grade: 4

Code: 30100290
Price: $3.00
IKEA Beach wagon
We run across the occasional card from IKEA, a company we admire greatly (and now are sitting on one of their office chairs), but we never know if the cards are supposed to be advertising something or household accessories, or what. Anyway this card was “Printed for IKEA” and mailed from Netherlands in 2012 with stamp and Priority label and partial postmark. Grade: 1

Price: $1.00

Price: $1.00
Sluit jezelf niet af (Netherlands)
As a public service, an organisation says “do not disconnect yourself” (but look for help). There’s a QR code on the back to help you do that, as well as three different stamps and Priority label and full postmark. Very minor postal bumping. Grade: 2

Code: 30100303
Price: $1.00
National Postcard Week 2003 (USA)
We can’t put extra links into our site or we would reference the man who self-published 300 of these cards in his search for anything showing children playing marbles. It’s a very nice unused card and if we had any such material we would contact him ourselves to see if he is still interested. If you can help, let us know and we will inform him. Grade: 1

Code: 30100304
Price: $1.00

Price: $4.00
IKEA, Stockholm
A card celebrating Stockholm, printed in Poland, mailed from the USA to Hong Kong. It’s been around. Unfortunately, there are no postmarks to prove it. The uncancelled US$1.05 stamp means you can make a profit on this card! Grade: 4
