  • Celestial Seasonings

    Artist was Beth Hay and the card was mailed from Denver in 1986 with Verville stamp and full, very heavy postmark.  Notice another postmark from Mason City, Iowa on the front.  It’s there because the card, with a proper foreign postal code, was misdirected to Mason City which has a similar ZIP code.  Grade: 4

  • Garfield, Ta-Dah!

    OK, here’s the story.  The card was mailed in 1984 from USA (five stamps, mostly legible postmark) to Malaysia but it was missent to Jakarta, so straight across the reverse is a purple postal rubber stamp indicating that.  As a consequence, there is a full if faint Jakarta postmark on the front of the card.  Too much information?  Not if you collect this sort of error.  Grade (technically): 4
