-

Mailed in 2014, with four stamps (two varieties), two postmarks, and blue Par Avion chop. Grade: 1
-
Doraemon 0052-1 (set of 30) – cover + 3 cards

-
Pyongyang, swimming (DPR Korea)
Bear with us … the captions are entirely in Korean and the internet is not awash (pun intended) in photos of this place in Pyongyang. Unused card. Grade: 1

Hong Kong Disneyland (set of 3) (3D)
We waited a long time for these, and were not certain they would ever appear. It’s an (unused) set of three 3D cards (lenticular printing) showing stylised Hong Kong scenes. You already know that 3D cards don’t scan very well, but we show the fronts of all three, and the typical reverse of one. In the original packaging. Grade: 1
-
Haw Par Villa (Singapore)
From the “Tourism 50 Post Card Series,” an ad card from 2014 whose caption gives instructions for mailing this at a special location and having a chance to win a lucky draw. The postmark is there, and a nice coloured postage meter label. By the way, meaning no disrespect by placing this in the “Amusement Parks” category, but if not that, then what? Grade: 1
-
Euro Disney – Parade
Official card, mailed from Netherlands in 2014 with three stamps (it’s hard to tell; you’ll see) and Priority label. Faint postmark, but it’s there. Grade: 1
-
Hamburger Dom (Germany)
Not so much an amusement park as a periodic fun fair, as one of several multiple views from Hamburg. Fifteen identified views on a card mailed in 2013, with stamp and postmark. Very small postal abrasion on right reverse edge. Grade: 2
-
Walt Disney World, The “Chief Firemouse”, Orlando (Florida)

La Plata, Pais de los Ninos (Argentina)
Wikipedia tells us: “The Republic of Children was built by Eva Perón Foundation on 52 hectares (130 acres) of land that was formerly a part of Swift Golf Club. On November 26, 1951, the park was officially opened by the then President Juan Domingo Perón. … According to the official website of the Republic of Children, in 1950 Walt Disney visited the park and, surprised by the beauty, was inspired to build Disneyland.” The things we learn by doing this. Unused, aged, 4-1/8″ x 7-1/4″ card whose Spanish caption explains the different sites. Grade: 3

La Romana, Altos de Chavon (Dominican Republic)
Unused card but definitely showing its age on the back. Grade: 3

-
La Paz, Mirador de Laicakota (sic) (Bolivia)
It seems the usual spelling for this amusement park is Laikakota. Either way, unused Fenno card BC 123, captioned in Spanish and English. Grade: 1
-
Hong Kong Disneyland 10th Anniversary – Happy Memories to 10th (set of 10)
These didn’t last long at their source because they commemorated Hong Kong Disneyland’s 10th anniversary in 2015. Our scan shows you the front and back of this set of 10 cards, still in their original cellowrap. These cards are by definition unique and limited edition, and should be desirable for Disney fans. Grade: 1
-
Hong Kong Disneyland set of three cards with coloured pencils
Each card in this set of three is individually cellowrapped. We’re sorry abut the poor quality scan but it’s because those pencils disrupted the photo. One card (in the scan) has the whole team. One card has Snow White and princesses. One card has Mickey and Minnie and Donald and Daisy; all three cards have richly decorated scenic park backgrounds, and Hong Kong Disneyland is identified on the wrapper. If you need to know official index numbers, please ask us. And you’re wondering: what about the pencils? The backs of the cards do not have any special outlines for colouring but there’s plenty of space for a youngster to use her or his imagination. Grade: 1
-

Unused card, somewhat aged and, oddly, completely blank on the reverse. Grade: 1
-

Captioned in Korean and Chinese, and mailed from Pyongyang in 2014 with three stamps (two varieties), faint but mostly readable postmark, and blue Air Mail chop. Grade: 2
-
South of the Border (South Carolina, USA)
We know all about tourist stops like this, but had never been here, so we did–what else?–we Googled. Seems to be somewhat past its prime, but here’s an unmailed card anyway. Two initials are written over the caption area. Grade: 3
-
Orlando, Walt Disney World, Railroad Station (Florida)
Unused but aging, and with an inked X on the lower right reverse. Left edge is perforated, so this came from a set or a book. Disney (Crocker) card HSC-609-F (PC709). Grade: 3
-
Cincinnati, Sunlite Pool, Coney Island (Ohio, USA)
The front of this unmailed linen card is OK. The reverse is badly disfigured by album remnants. Grade: 5
