Curteichcolor card 6C-K1430 (or CK-211) of O’Hare in the mid-50s, just after it opened. Card has a pencilled date of June 1957, and a travel agency rubber stamp, on reverse. Front is excellent. And just imagine the parking lot nearly empty. Grade: 4

Companion card to 30200141, this is also Curteichcolor 1C-K196 (and CK.127) from 1957, unused apart from a pencilled date notation and travel agency rubber stamp on reverse. Minor corner creasing. Grade: 4

Companion card to the previous two, this is Dexter Press card 82737-B, unused, from early 1960s and starting to age. Grade: 4

This really is a postcard of a parking lot. Plastichrome card P13984 from 1957, nice on the front but a mess on the back–never mailed, but with pencilled notation of date, travel agency stamp, and the residual mark left by some kind of sticker. Because the front is good, we give Grade: 4

On behalf of Singapore Airlines First Class service, the photo looks a little dull only because the unused card is still in its original plastic wrapper (Grade: 1, $2).  Another card is available, mailed from Malaysia in 1995, with two stamps and readable postmark but only as a space filler (Grade: 5, $1).

From 2007, unused ZoCard promoting the “Only Non-Stop Flight to Istanbul” from Singapore. (We believe it.) Sorry that the scan cuts off the bottom of the card but the name of the airline is definitely there. Grade: 1

No name for the terminal, only “Atlanta’s jet-age airport” according to the caption on this unused card P43445 from the 1960s. No people? Not now! Grade: 1

Unused card of the hotel that was (at the time) “linked to Hong Kong International Airport by an air-conditioned walkway.”  Well, the airport is gone since 1998 and the hotel now has a different name.  The card, however, is here for you.  Grade: 1

Three unused cards are available, issued by Thai Airways as part of the Royal Orchid Holidays promotion but not saying the exact locale.  Grades: 1

Four unused cards are available.  Three are Grade 1 ($4) and one is Grade 3 ($2) because it has a small splotch of something on the reverse–but you could scrape it off.

An old, unused card, significantly aging.  The caption affirms that this is, in fact, snow. Grade: 3

Two cards are available.  Serrated edges.  Each was mailed (at the same time, in 1986) from Malaysia (not Singapore) with a Johor stamp and faintly readable postmark.  One is Grade 3 ($4.50) and the other is Grade: 4 ($3.50).

Unused card.  Grade: 1

Replaced the old Kai Tak Airport in 1998, and never looked back.  Several unused cards are available (Grades: 1, $1) and one other, mailed from Hong Kong in 2010 with commemorative stamp and full postmark (Grade: 1, $7).

We’ve learned the real aircraft bearing this registration number had its first flight on 15th May 1971 and that the aircraft is now in storage.  As for the card, it’s 3-3/4″ x 8-3/4″ and unused.  Grade: 1

This AVRO RJ 85 Jumbolino started its life sometime prior to May 2004 with Swiss International Airlines.  Google tells us this.  The card is unused.  Grade: 1

This 4-1/2″ x 6-1/2″ card was mailed from the USA (not Germany!) in 2011.  Two of the four stamps were readably postmarked.  The other two are uncancelled.  Grade: 3

Unused card from the early 1950s, the reverse encircled with typical red-and-blue airmail stripes; the captions bilingual English and French; and instructions on how to figure out what postage to pay.  Grade: 1

If we’re only going to have one card from a country, it may as well be as outstanding as this one.  Measuring 4-3/8″ x 7-5/8″, it was mailed in 2011 using four stamps and having two postmarks.  Grade: 1
