Albany, The Plaza, Old Post Office and State Capitol (New York)
This card was mailed in 1960, with 3-cent stamp and full Albany postmark. But there’s a twist: the writer forgot to put any address, so the Post Office placed their large purple “Returned to Writer” chop in that space, and returned it … but to whom? The writer didn’t put her own address. Was Albany so small in 1960 that the Post Office knew who “Peggy” was? We’ll never know. Grade: 2

Mt. Hood and Trailways Bus (Oregon)
Unused and with multiple abrasions all over the reverse, from having been in an album. The caption is readable, though. Grade: 4

Code: 37800049
Price: $1.00
Anderson Tour, Greenville (Pennsylvania, USA)
The caption on this unused card reads, exactly: “Having Fun! An Anderson Tour, Greenville, PA.” Now we don’t doubt at all that those folks were having fun, but were things really so formal in those days? Grade: 2

Code: 37800050
Price: $2.00

Cheyenne, C.B.&Q. (Burlington) Bus and Railroad Depot (Wyoming, USA)
In today’s world, it is impossible to imagine how exotic such terminals were, not so many years ago, with busses and trains going to “Faraway places with strange-sounding names.” How attractive this card made this facility look. Unused Sanborn Souvenir card 7A69-N (1117). Nice. Grade: 1

Code: 37800056
Price: $3.00

Code: 37800057
Price: $1.00
The Long Beach Public Transportation Co. (California)
We find this unused card to be odd for a couple of reasons. First, unless it was deliberately made to look like this, the colours are bleak even for Long Beach. Second, the extensive caption refers to this company owning the “largest fleet of London double deck buses in the USA” but then says two were transported to Long Beach on the Queen Mary and now (meaning: then) used for tours. There must have been more than two, to qualify as the “largest fleet”? We don’t know … Grade: 1
