Linen card of a plane that proudly carried 54 passengers. Card was not mailed, but has travel agent’s stamp on reverse. Google shows that this aircraft (N90960) had at least six owners after Continental sold it, including Ecuadoriana. Well-travelled, indeed. Grade: 4

Unused 4″ x 6-1/2″ card printed in Xograph “depth effect” process, a plastic layering designed to give a 3-D impression, and so it does. Superb addition to any collection of aircraft postcards–really. Grade: 1

Unmailed Eastern Air Lines card from 1950s, also with that travel agency rubber stamp on reverse. Front photo is excellent. At the time, as the card says, the Golden Falcon was the “newest, fastest, quietest, most luxurious airliner in the world.” It’s gone, and so is the airline. Grade: 4

Unused card from 1960s, serrated edges, aging noticeably on reverse, and latent creasing throughout. Grade: 3

You could pay hundreds of $$$ for a large travel poster or you could get this terrific postcard of South America from 1960 for a lot, lot less. Unused card in nearly as good condition now as the day it was issued. Grade: 1

One of the most international cards you’ll ever find, and here’s why: issued by aerospatiale in 1985, mailed in Malaysia in 1986 with Malaysian stamp but illegible postmark, now in Hong Kong waiting for you. The tail number F-BVFA is visible, and you can learn all about that through Google, but it’s now at a Dulles Airport museum in Washington. Grade: 3

Card obtained in 1960 showing Convair 340 approaching Hanauma Bay, Oahu. It’s an unmailed card, clean except for travel agent’s rubber stamp on reverse. Grade: 4

Nice time-lapse view of a plane landing at the long-gone Kai Tak Airport. Were you ever lucky enough to make one of these landings? Wow–what an experience. Card was mailed in Malaysia in about 1990, has Malaysian stamp but illegible postmark. Grade: 3

Unused, as-new card from early 2000s. Grade: 1

Two of these unused, as-new cards are available. This particular aircraft (JA8231) went to JAL in 1985, then was leased by Southwest Airlines in 1993, then got a new name as Japan TransOcean Air in 1993, and then went back to JAL in 1995. After that? Grades: 1

From early 2000s, a wonderful set of five unused, as-new cards in special envelope marked New Tokyo International Airport. The cards include shots of All Nippon Airways, JAL, United (with full rainbow!), Cathay Pacific in old livery, and an aerial shot of the entire airport. If you’re interested, we’ll scan the cards. Grades: 1

Two unused cards are available, from 1980s. They are beginning to show their age a bit on the reverse. Not much information about this specific aircraft (HL 7443) is available except that it made its maiden flight in 1979 and is possibly still with KAL. Grades: 1

Two cards are available, each mailed in Malaysia in 1991, each with Malaysian stamp and illegible postmark. One also has an orange postal bar code at bottom of reverse. As for the airplane, you can see tail number D-ABHI in the photo: internet tells us the plane went to Lufthansa in 1972 and then in 1991 went to TAME Ecuador where the number became HC-BRI. This is not too much information for collectors! Grades: 3

Nine of these unused, as-new cards are available. The actual series is A319-114, and Lufthansa took delivery in July 1996. Plane seems still to be with LH. Grades: 1

Fifteen of these are available, of which 12 are unused and as-new from the early 1990s. The other three were mailed from US (2) or Malaysia (1). Two are Grade: 3 ($4) and one is Grade 2 ($4). Interestingly, Malaysia Airlines chose to put a false registration number on the artwork. The cards show “OHM-MO” but MH planes start with 9M-xxx, and no such OHM number shows up in the internet. Tsk.

Fifteen cards are available. Three are unused, as-new from 1990 (Grades: 1, $6). The rest were all mailed from Malaysia in 1991-1992, all but one have stamps. They range from Grade 1-2 and in price from $4-7. Just ask. As for the plane itself, 9M-MAV made its first flight in 1980 and, according to airfleets dot net, has now been scrapped.

Thirteen cards are available, all mailed in Malaysia, all with stamps, in conditions ranging from Grade 1-4 and prices from $3.50 to $7. Please just ask us. The cards come from a variety of print runs and were mailed between 1986 and 1991. As for the aircraft (9M-MHD), it was delivered to MAS in 1981 but then leased to Air Maldives in 1994, re-registered in 1998 to First Security Bank of Utah (!), then to Channel Express in 2000, and finally in 2006 to ACT Airlines as TC-ACC. So It, and the cards, have been around.

Card mailed in Malaysia in 1994, with Selangor stamp and nearly full Kuching postmark. Some postmark smudging on the front. This aircraft (9M-MHO) went to MAS in 1991, and in 1998 then went to Qantas where it may now be VH-OED. Grade: 3

Twelve cards are available, all mailed in Malaysia between 1986-1991, all with stamps and varying degrees of postmark and condition. We can provide from Grade 1-3 and from $4-$6. The artists have deleted the aircraft registration number from the photo.

Four cards are available, all mailed in Malaysia with stamps and mostly if not completely legible postmarks from 1986-1990. Different print runs for the cards, including one touting the inauguration of the MAS route to Los Angeles in 1986. Grades 1-3, $4-8 (just ask us). As for the plane, B737 9M-MBC, yet another unfortunate story. It started with MH in 1972 as 9M-AQN, then re-registered with MH as 9M-MBC, and then in 1992 went to SAHSA in Central America as N401SH. On 18th July 1993 it overran the runway on landing at Managua, Nicaragua, with no fatalities but the plane was destroyed. Again, Grades: 1-3
