Code: 30600303
Price: $1.00
I’m suntanning in Florida (USA)
We don’t think this card was trimmed by anyone, so we’re not certain why “suntanning” gets cut off a bit. That, plus some remnants of tape on front and reverse top edge, put this otherwise unmailed card into Grade: 4-,

Code: 30600304
Price: $2.00
Slacker (France)
We believe this unused card was intended to be funny, but would understand if not everyone found it to be so. Lafayette Serie No. 032. Aging but clean. Grade: 1

Code: 30600305
Price: $4.00
Arizona Jackass (USA)
The ultimate back-handed compliment. To be fair, the reverse caption on this unused card also calls them burros. Grade: 1

Code: 30600306
Price: $2.00
…but it’s a Dry Heat (Arizona, USA)
This is a long-running joke between friend Kerry and us, highlighting one of so many differences between Arizona and Hong Kong. We will never, ever find a postcard touting Hong Kong’s “wet heat”. Unused. Grade: 1

Code: 30600307
Price: $2.00
3 More Payments (USA)
Unused card sourced in Arizona. Grade: 1

An eye for an eye
Though we don’t think this unused card is particularly funny, we didn’t know where else to put it because it needs a category. So here it is, waiting for you. Grade: 1

Price: $2.00

Moose Mail
The instructions on the reverse of this unused card say to cut out the parts and assemble them. We idly wonder how many people care to do that? Grade: 1

Code: 30600314
Price: $2.00
And how do YOU know …
Comic postcards, saucy postcards, bawdy postcards … call them what you will, and we have plenty of them on the site, but it wasn’t until we inspected this one that we dug a little deeper into the history. We did that because, on this unused card, in the postage area a logo states “PASSED by the British Board of Postcard Censors,” and a quick Google search led us to the history — and banning — of several examples. We learn something every day, and when we saw the cards (not this one) that had been banned, we wonder how exact the criteria were. Grade:: 1

Code: 30600315
Price: $8.00
Tu es toujours …
We can usually manage French translations without online help but we wanted a bit of clarity for this one, and got none at all. Each service comes up with something different, and here’s one of them: “You’re always late, when you’re not wrong about the time.” Does that make sense? The Photochrom card 757 was mailed from France in 1962, with a nice large stamp and clear postmark. Grade: 1

Code: 30600316T
Price: $4.00
Letzer Wunsch (Gerhard Glück) (Germany)
In English, the title means “Last Wish” and the caption on the unused Inkognito card 26057 tells you more. Grade: 1

Code: 30600317
Price: $4.00
