Vitebsk, Kyrova Bridge (Belarus)
The reverse captions are not in English but we know this card originated in Vitebsk, and the word Kyrova appears, but Kyrova in Russia isn’t anywhere near Belarus, is it? So there’s a lot we don’t know. Mailed in Belarus in 2012 with “N” stamp and Vitebsk postmark. Grade: 2

Code: 32600199
Price: $3.00
Rainbow Bridge (USA/Canada)

Price: $3.00
San Francisco-Oakland Bay Bridge, on United Airlines menu
“Those were the days, my friend, we thought they’d never end …” and as much as we would like to ramble on and on about what has happened to airline service, we won’t do that here. The card was mailed from Denver in 1954, with a 2-cent stamp and clear postmark. A bit of postmark ink transfer on the front. Grade: 2

Code: 32600201
Price: $6.00
Copenhagen, Dronning Louises Bro. (Denmark)

Price: $2.00
Groeten uit Kortenhoef (Netherlands) – Kattenbrug
Nice, small-town Dutch card with a twist: it was mailed in South Africa, with what is supposed to be a 3D “International Airmail Postcard” stamp, but to be honest apart from odd colours we find nothing 3D about it. Blue airmail label is there, along with a postmark. Grade: 3

Code: 32600204
Price: $2.00
Ronald McDonald House Charities – Pai Memorial Bridge, Mae Hong Son (Thailand)

La Tour du Pont de la Haute-Chaine (Maggi) (Angers, France)
A brilliant, original, and very old unused ad card from Maggi, with pre-printed text taking up the bottom half of the message section. This is an ad card for people who don’t like ad cards. Aged, very appropriately. Grade: 1

Code: 32600207
Price: $6.00
Mackinac Bridge (Michigan, USA)
Unused card dated 1967, whose caption observes that “There is a possibility that a marine museum may some day open the picturesque old lighthouse to the public.” According to Google, this has been done but it closes for the winter. The bridge is not the star of this postcard, though. Grade: 1

Code: 32600208
Price: $4.00
San Francisco – Oakland Bay Bridge
Unused Curteichcolor card 7C-K683 (and 79) of “the longest bridge in the world” (at that time). There is absolutely no clear answer to any such claim now, but it’s still a long bridge. Grade: 1

Code: 32600209
Price: $2.00
Peng Hu Bay Bridge and fireworks (3D) (Taiwan)
This 3D postcard has something for (almost) everyone. Apart from being 3D–lenticular printing–a portion of the back could be pulled out so the card could stand alone on a table, as a framed picture might. Mailed in 2012 with a coloured meter stamp, light blue trilingual airmail sticker, and one other small sticker affixed. If not for the extra sticker, Grade 1, but because of that only, Grade: 3

Code: 32600210
Price: $7.00
Schöne Grüße aus Schleswig-Holstein (Germany)
Fehmarnsundbrucke. Mailed in 2012 with stamp and trilingual Priority label. Grade: 2

Price: $0.50

Bilingual caption in Russian and English, with more explanation from the writer, on this card mailed in 2012 with four stamps, and postmark. Grade: 2

Code: 32600213
Price: $3.00
Brooklyn Bridge, New York City
This 5″ x 7″ card was mailed in 2012 with two uncancelled “Forever” stamps and an address label. Grade: 4

Code: 32600214
Price: $2.00
George Washington Bridge (and Little Red Lighthouse) (New York/New Jersey)
This unused and somewhat aging Dexter Press card 60203-B gave us a couple of problems. For one thing, the reverse caption is all about the bridge and doesn’t mention the lighthouse at all. For another, the caption just says the bridge spans the Hudson River between Fort Lee (New Jersey) and New York City. So we are putting the card into “New York” and “Bridges” and “Lighthouses” and hoping for the best, because we know it’s the Little Red Lighthouse (Jeffrey’s Hook Light). Grade: 2

Code: 32600216
