L.A. County Coroner (California)
Technically, these are “Post-Cal” and not postcards, though they can be mailed. Here’s the story: you do a treasure hunt all through Los Angeles until you find the L.A. County Coroner, a complex including a massive old building that has a quirky and quite engaging gift shop in one corner of the ground floor. They sell these, which are peel-off stickers but which have a place for a stamp as any postcard would. The message area is pre-printed. You won’t find them at the neighborhood drugstore. Unused, and just waiting for you. Grades: 1
