Code: 31800047
Price: $3.00
Tivoli Miniature World, St. Peter’s Basilica (Canada)
This unused “local” card 56353-D can be misleading if you don’t pay close attention. Of course if you know the history of Tivoli Miniature World, once near Niagara Falls and which closed in the late 1990s, you won’t need to worry. Grade: 2

Code: 31800048
Price: $5.00

Linnanmaki Amusement Park, Helsinki (Finland)
Everything you would ever want to see of Helsinki, and–believe it or not–every one of these photos is explained in three languages in the caption on the reverse. Mailed in 2011, the stamp and Priority label are there, but no postmark at all. Grade: 4

Code: 31800051
Price: $5.00
Singapore Flyer (Singapore)
As the caption on this unused 3-3/4″ x 8-1/4″ card says, “The world’s largest observation wheel with a height of 165m (541 ft)”. Grade: 1

Code: 31800052
Price: $5.00
Der Prater, Vienna (Austria)
Mailed in 2011 with stamp and blue Priority label affixed. Abrasion on bottom right front. Grade: 3

Code: 31800053
Price: $1.00

The rest of the caption describes this as “a high-tech and interactive theme park.” Unused 4-1/2″ x 6-1/2″ postcard. Grade: 1

Code: 31800054
Price: $4.00
Ocean Park (Hong Kong)
Unused card, 5-1/8″ x 6-3/4″. Grade: 1

Code: 31800055
Price: $6.00
Willow Grove Amusement Park 1910, Philadelphia
No, the card itself does not date from 1910, just the photo. The card–with two perforated edges, so it was part of a sheet–was mailed in 2012 with two stamps and mostly readable postmark. Grade: 2

Code: 31800056
Price: $0.50
Dream Mall, Kaohsiung (Taiwan)
It’s a shopping center! It’s an amusement park! It’s a card mailed in 2012 with two different stamps, blurry postmark, and pink airmail chop. A little bit of postmark ink transfer on the front. Grade: 2

Code: 31800057
Price: $4.00
Crystal Arch at Jerudong Park Playground (Brunei)
Unused 5″ x 7″ Paramount Suppliers card PS-11. Grade: 1

Code: 31800059
Price: $4.00
Walt Disney World, Country Bear Jamboree (Florida)
Mailed from Georgia in 1977 with 9-cent stamp and postmark. Aging. Note that we don’t put all Disney cards in the “Amusement Park” category also, so if these are what you are looking for, please also check the Disney category. Grade: 2

Code: 31800060
Price: $3.00
Tombstone, Helldorado Town wild west theme park (Arizona)
Unused Smith-Southwestern card 0258 with a line through the bar code where the stamp would go. Grade: 2

Code: 31800061
Price: $1.00
Hong Kong Disneyland, Set C
You may compare these with sets A (item 36600017) and B (36600018). These are sets of three unused cards in their original, unopened Cellophane wrap; but each card is wrapped individually and connected by the blue part at the top so they can all be seen clearly. The three cards show Mickey and Minnie and others near a tram (pictured); near the Clock Tower at the Kowloon Star Ferry, with Hong Kong Island in the background; and in a composite night view. Grade: 1

Code: 31800062
Price: $39.00
Anaheim Disneyland, Adventure thru Inner Space (Monsanto)
Please read this description carefully. Two of these items are available, both unused. They look like postcard-sized pamphlets, of a cover plus four pages (sheets), of which the front cover is actually a postcard and the remainder of the pages (and back cover) either describe what was in this Monsanto attraction, or various Monsanto products and innovations. What you see in this scan are the front (i.e., the night view, which is the postcard) and the back covers. Grades: 1

Code: 31800063
Price: $12.00
Hong Kong Disneyland (set of 5)
Not to be confused with our other sets of three cards, this is a (scarcer) set of five, in its original wrap. We have scanned the back instead of the front–and deleted the original retail price–because it shows miniatures of all five cards. Very iconic Hong Kong, indeed, and hard to get. Grade: 1

Code: 31800064
Price: $45.00
Magic Kingdom Park, Space Mountain Attraction (Florida, USA)
Mailed in 2013 with Global Forever stamp and blue USPS Airmail label, this card has a readable Hartford postmark. As the card was once part of a linked set, two edges are perforated. Grade: 1

Code: 31800065
Price: $1.00
Anaheim Disneyland, Mickey in Fantasyland
Mailed in 1964, with stamp and full postmark, this card has a part of the lower right corner missing. Grade: 4

Code: 31800066
Price: $2.00
Greetings from Disneyland (Anaheim, USA)
This is one of the very unusual cards that fits into many of our theme categories, so you might see the same card several times. (Sorry about that!) But what a nice card, mailed in 1972 with 6-cent stamp and Anaheim postmark. We would like to repeat the caption in its entirety: “Guests entering Disneyland are greeted by a floral Mickey Mouse and the Santa Fe and Disneyland Depot where a scaled-down model of a passenger train of another era puffs out of the station to take them on a scenic tour of Disneyland.” Official card. Grade: 2

Code: 31800067
Price: $8.00
Walt Disney World, Cinderella Castle, Fantasyland (Florida)
Official card, mailed in 1971 with 6-cent stamp and multiple but incomplete postmarking. The front is very clean. Grade: 2

Code: 31800068
Price: $4.00
Uncaptioned
This unused card was made in China. We have no idea which wheel this is. Grade: 1

Code: 31800069
Price: $0.50
Carousel de Paris
Unused card, made in China. Some printing, but only in Chinese, on the reverse. Grade: 1

Unused card, made in China. Grade: 2

Code: 31800071
Price: $0.50
Ngong Ping, Skyrail (Hong Kong)
After a rocky start, this facility seems to be getting its act together. Even so, it is not for someone who’s afraid of heights. Unused 5-1/8″ x 7-1/8″ card. Grade: 1

Code: 31800072
Price: $3.00
Riesenrad, Vienna (Austria)
Older views, all identified, on a newer unused card. Grade: 1

Code: 31800073
Price: $2.00
Walt Disney World Steam Railroad (Florida)
We weren’t able to find an indirect listing for this card from the Nickel Tour book, so we use eBay as a guide. The card was mailed in 1973 with two stamps and postmark. Aging very slightly, and with minor postal bumping on the corners. Grade: 2

Code: 31800074
Price: $6.00
Old Tucson (Arizona, USA)
Not to be misled by the caption, “Old Tucson” was a reconstruction of Tucson as it was in 1859, built apparently for the filming of the movie “Arizona.” Anyway, the caption explains all this. Card was mailed in 1967 with stamp and postmark. Some postmark ink transfer on the front. Grade: 2

Code: 31800075
Price: $1.00
Generic ferris wheel
Among my circle of friends, we used to joke along the lines of “Five points if you can identify where this is.” Well, for you — ten points! We’ve no idea, except that the card was mailed from PR China in 2013 with a large “stadium” stamp and full postmark. Grade: 1

Code: 31800076
Price: $1.00
Anaheim Disneyland, Old Dobbin
We did a cursory Google search and all the other Old Dobbin cards we found were horizontal, while this one has a vertical layout. The main caption says “Journey through the ‘Good Old Days'”. The card was mailed in 1980, with 10-cent stamp and partial postmark, and slight staining on the reverse. Grade: 2

Code: 31800077
Price: $6.00

Mailed in 2013 with stamp, postmark, and orange postal barcoding. Grade: 1

Code: 31800079
Price: $2.00
The London Eye
Hong Kong is supposed to be building one of these, too. Just what we need. The 4-3/4″ x 6-3/4″ card was mailed in 2013 with five different stamps, postmark, By Air Mail label, and orange postal barcoding. A very strong Grade: 2

Code: 31800080
Price: $2.00
Tokyo Disneyland, Fantillusion
“Darkness descends as ‘The Disney Villains’ try to drive out the light of good.” Disney has villains? Card mailed in 2013, with three different stamps, black Air Mail chop, and an extra sticker of Minnie. Grade: 3

Code: 31800081
Price: $8.00
Walt Disney World, Cinderella Castle – Fantasyland (Florida)
