Cinderella Castle, Walt Disney World preview (Florida)
The caption on the back of this card, mailed in 1970 from Tampa with a 5-cent stamp, says “The Castle’s medieval restaurant will overlook Fantasyland …” so we know for sure this card is a preview of things to come. Grade: 2
-
Walt Disney World, Orlando (folio)
This may be one of the earlier official Disney World fold-out souvenirs (index #0111-0286), with 26 photos. Unused. Grade: 2

This card of Disneyland’s Main Street Station was mailed in the late 1970s and has the stamp but postmark isn’t legible. Grade: 2
-
Anaheim Disneyland, TWA Rocket (California)
How ironic is it that many years after this card was issued, Disneyland survives but TWA does not? Sweet caption on the reverse: “As nations contemplate a trip to the moon …” Unused card … Grade: 1
-
Clock of the World (Anaheim Disneyland)
From the late 1950s, this unused card, issued by Disneyland itself, is in perfect condition. Grade: 1 -
Tomorrowland (Anaheim Disneyland)
Great for Disney buffs, a view of the Kaiser Aluminum exhibit. Card dates from 1958 or earlier, and two are available. One has a penciled date on the reverse along with a large rubber stamp from a travel agency. But the card was not used otherwise and the front is undamaged (Grade: 4, $1) while the other card is unused (Grade: 1, $3). -
Monsanto Hall of Chemistry (Anaheim Disneyland)
This unmailed card from Tomorrowland is great on the front, but the back has the date 1958 penciled in, as well as a rubber stamp from a travel agency. If you’re not too worried about that, this is a great addition to Disney ephemera collections. Grade: 4
-
Richfield Autopia, Anaheim Disneyland (not a postcard)
Please note: this little (2.4″ x 3.9″) card with rounded edges is not a postcard, but instead issued to young children who “passed” their driving experience at Richfield Autopia in Disneyland’s early days. The reverse looks like an identification card and has a paragraph urging the child to “fill out this card for permanent identification and carry it with you. It entitles you to friendly, helpful service at more than 4,000 Richfield stations…” (But were they old enough to drive?) Unused. Grade: 1
-
Pluto (3D)
Card bought at Tokyo Disneyland in 1982 and never mailed. It is a 3D-type card in which the motion effect is created by a ridged plastic lenticular printing. Pluto is chasing and then being chased. Front of card is in terrific condition; reverse is mottling and has minor staining. Grade: 2
-
Scrooge (3D)
Bought at Tokyo Disneyland in 1982 and never mailed. The card has ridged plastic coating (lenticular printing) to create the effect of Scrooge panning for gold and finding it. Front of card is great; reverse has some mottling and staining but no other marks. Grade: 2
-
Donald Duck and whale (3D)
Card bought at Tokyo Disneyland in 1982 and never mailed. It is a 3D- type card in which the motion effect is created by a ridged plastic (lenticular printing). Donald Duck and nephews catch more than they expected. Front of card is in great condition; reverse is mottling and shows some staining. Grade: 2
-

On the other, two extra stamps and partial postmark, with orange postal barcoding on the front (Grade: 3, $3).

Hong Kong Disneyland, Set C
You may compare these with sets A (item 36600017) and B (36600018). These are sets of three unused cards in their original, unopened Cellophane wrap; but each card is wrapped individually and connected by the blue part at the top so they can all be seen clearly. The three cards show Mickey and Minnie and others near a tram (pictured); near the Clock Tower at the Kowloon Star Ferry, with Hong Kong Island in the background; and in a composite night view. Grade: 1
-
Anaheim Disneyland, Adventure thru Inner Space (Monsanto)
Please read this description carefully. Two of these items are available, both unused. They look like postcard-sized pamphlets, of a cover plus four pages (sheets), of which the front cover is actually a postcard and the remainder of the pages (and back cover) either describe what was in this Monsanto attraction, or various Monsanto products and innovations. What you see in this scan are the front (i.e., the night view, which is the postcard) and the back covers. Grades: 1
-
Groetjes uit Zeeland! (Maximum Card) (Netherlands)
For reasons too long and irrelevant for this space, this maximum card is one of our favourite postcards ever. Forgive us then for thinking it should be yours, too. You will think: it cannot be so expensive. Well, yes, it can. Mailed in 2013 with a large special postmark (same as the one on the front) over another stamp, and bilingual Priority label. Official Disney card dated 2012. Grade: 1
