Tijuana, International Border (Mexico)
Three Vistacolor V8051 cards are available showing this busy and congested border crossing. Who knows, our car might be in there somewhere. Two of these cards were never mailed, and one was mailed from USA. They date from mid-1980s. The two unmailed ones are in good condition for their age (Grades: 1, $9). The mailed one isn’t bad either, with only minor abrasion (Grade: 3, $10).

Thailand Post, Western Most District (Prepaid)
Thailand Post issues cards with postage prepaid on the reverse, in this case a 6-baht imprint almost the same as the front of the card. So it’s not quite a maximum card.

Lake Tahoe, California/Nevada
Spanning two states, Lake Tahoe postcards don’t always define the locations exactly. This one could have, but didn’t. However the buildings in the photo give a very good clue. Can you guess? We are listing the card in California and in Nevada, and of course in “Border Towns,” so as not to make any enemies! Unused card, Grade: 1

Code: 37600020
Price: $1.00

Chui – RS – Arroio do Chui (Brazil)
Putting the long Portuguese-only caption into Google Translate, we learn this is the northernmost point of Brazil. But as it’s the border with Uruguay, someone goofed — Uruguay is at the south. We’re not going to pursue this, but it is, somehow, a strange photo. The card was mailed in 1983, with stamp and all or part of two postmarks. Grade: 1
