  • Pine Mushroom (DPR Korea)

    Unused card of Tricholoma matsutake, captioned briefly in Korean and English, with a very large pre-printed postage of similar design.  Matsutake is the common name for a highly sought-after mycorrhizal mushroom that grows in Asia, Europe, and North America. It is prized in Japanese, Korean, and Chinese cuisine for its distinct spicy-aromatic odor.  Not to mention its shape.  Two of these cards are available.  Grades: 1

  • Saguaro Cactus, Greetings from Yuma (Arizona, USA)

    We were on holiday with our friends K&J, and while in Yuma (but not eating the romaine lettuce–a story having nothing to do with Arizona postcards) we thought we would see what we could find.  This card of the saguaro cactus is one result.  Unused.  Grade: 1

  • Arizona Symbols – Saguaro Cactus Bloom, and Palo Verde

    In answer to their question:  one.  But everything is revealed in the caption on the back of this unused card.  The saguaro cactus bloom is the state flower, and the palo verde the state tree.  Grade: 1

  • Wildflowers (Albania)

    There is no caption on this old, unused card, which however is attributed to Shtepia Botuese, as most older Albanian postcards are.  Albania is awash in flowers, from the most brilliant red poppies to lavender to everything in-between.  The card, while authentic, doesn’t do the flowers justice.  Grade: 2

  • Dandelions (Albania)

    When we found our first dandelion postcard (from a different country), we were pleasantly surprised — having grown up with this “weed” in all forms and then learning you can make drinkable wine from it.  And now we have another.  And so can you!  Unused SHB 8 Nentori card from 1989.  Grade: 1

  • Greetings from Mississippi – the Magnolia State (USA)

    Unused Tichnor Quality Views card 72662, linen, slightly aged (appropriately) and classic Large Letter.  The caption tells us Mississippi’s population in 1940 (2,183,796) and yes, that *will* be on the test.  We trust you already knew the state flower is the magnolia.  Grade: 1

  • Montana, Ponderosa Pine and Bluebunch Wheatgrass (USA)

    Among contemporary Montana postcards, you won’t find many more iconic than this.  Mailed in 2020, with three different stamps and Missoula postmark.  It shows a Ponderosa Pine, and Bluebunch wheatgrass.  Grade: 1

  • Camellia (Alabama, USA)

    This card barely qualifies as one we would include, but it looks good enough on the front so we’ll let it appear.  Mailed in 2020, the reverse has a round Global Forever poinsettia stamp and bar coding and USPS airmail label but also a taped address label and other additions that make this no more than a space filler — unless you really, really like yellowhammers or camellias.  Grade: 5

  • Banyan Tree, St. Petersburg (Florida, USA)

  • Greetings from Newcastle, Bear Grass (USA)

    Excellent example of an unused older E.C. Kropp generic card (Wild Flowers of the West, 18580N, or C-1002), this one describing Bear Grass as growing “in great abundance in Western Montana and Northern Idaho,” yet oddly, Newcastle (Wyoming) chose this design to represent itself.  Go figure.  Grade: 1

  • Primula forrestii (PR China)

    If you are strictly into botanical postcards, this is a nice one for you, issued by the PRC Government in 1999 as part of a set, then mailed in (we think) 2013.  It has postmarked pre-printed postage, and one extra uncancelled stamp.  Otherwise known as primrose, this particular variant — yes, even in the scientific world — seems to be in doubt about its genetic background.  The postcard, however, is rock solid.  Grade: 1
