  • Hellertown, The Long Bridge (Pennsylvania, USA)

    Unused Plastichrome card K-12185, slight staining on the reverse.  If you have any connection with “Lost,” you will appreciate the card’s caption:  “The Long Bridge–about 100 ft. in length crosses the Lost Lake and over the Lost River leading into the New Room in Lost River Caverns …”  We suppose, not lost any more.  Grade: 2

  • Park City, Park Mammoth Resort, Jesse James Cave (Kentucky, USA)

    We looked up the (underlying) resort, and it’s still there, but with decidedly mixed reviews.  Presumably nobody will say the caves are in need of renovation!  Unused Tichnor Bros. card K-13099.  Grade: 1

  • Rumney, Polar Caves (New Hampshire, USA)

    Actually the caption doesn’t mention Rumney, and just says “near Plymouth”.  We looked it up.  You can thank us later.  (!)  Unused card.  Grade: 1

  • Përshëndetje nga Kosova (Greetings from Kosovo) – Marble Cave

    We sometimes observe that one postcard fits many of our theme categories.  This is one of those.   Bilingual Albanian/English captions identify Kosovo National Park “Sharr Mountains”, Brezna Lake close Koritnik Mountain; Marble Cave (Lipjan); Mirusha Waterfall (Llapusha); Badovc Lake (Prishtina); National Park “Accursed Mountains”; Kucishta Lake; and a Sharr dog in the center.  That should keep the search engines busy.  Unused.  Grade: 1

  • Mercer Caverns (Murphys, California)

    Unused Mike Roberts cave postcard whose caption tells you more than we could:  “Soda straw stalactites located in the Cathedral Room along with the ‘Slab of Bacon'”.  Knowing that stalagmites go up and stalactites go down, we think this card is pointing in the right direction.  Left serrated edge.  Grade: 1

  • Mercer Caverns, Simon’s Thumb (Murphys, California)

    Unused Mike Roberts card C18457 of “a beautiful stalagmite rising from a projecting white slab of limestone”.  Perforated upper edge means the card had been part of a set.  Flip this card around and it could easily have been labelled as a different part of Simon.  Grade: 1

  • Salt Petre Cave, natural bridge (Virginia, USA)

    This unused Tichnor Bros. Lusterchrome card K-7792 has a sparse caption that only mentions Virginia, so we dug deeper (sorry!) and everything Google turned up was in Kentucky.  Adding “Virginia” to the search bar only informed us that Virginia has many such caves — so we can assume that the caption writer, like us, just gave up.  Nice card, though.  Grade: 1

  • Parcul Național Munții Rodnei (Romania)

    Because everything on both sides of this unused card is only in Romanian, and because it’s quite a “busy” card, we will just venture that this is the national park (Parcul Național Munții Rodnei) and based on the identifying captions on the reverse, the largest view is a cave (Pesterea Izvorul Albastru al Izei, or Iza Blue Spring Cave) inside the park.  You can let us know if we’re wrong.  But overall this is a superb postcard.  Grade: 1

  • Mogao Grottoes (Maximum Cards) (Set of 4) (PR China)

    From Wikipedia (edited):  “The Mogao Caves, also known as the Thousand Buddha Grottoes, form a system of 500 temples, 25 km (16 mi) southeast of the center of Dunhuang, on the Silk Road, in Gansu province. The caves may also be known as the Dunhuang Caves; however, this term is also used as a collective term to include other Buddhist cave sites in and around that area, such as the Western Thousand Buddha Caves, Eastern Thousand Buddha Caves, Yulin Caves, and Five Temple Caves. The caves contain some of the finest examples of Buddhist art, spanning a period of 2,000 years.”  Our scan shows parts of the four cards, issued by China National Philatelic in 2024 as set MC-140, and the cardboard cover.  Grade: 1
