The front of this card is OK but the reverse had been pasted into an album and disqualifies the card as anything other than Grade: 5

Code: 33500091
Price: $0.50
The Oaks, Portland (Maine, USA)
In 1912, judging from the two postmarks, it only took half a day for this card to travel from Portland to Jamaica, New York. So what’s up with 2012? Stamp is also there. Grade: 2

Kanazawa, Kenrokuen Garden in spring (Japan)
We’ve a series of unused, contemporary cards from this old, private landscape garden, also spelled Kenroku-en–which, along with Kairaku-en and Koraku-en, are considered the “Three Great Gardens” of Japan. Kenrokuen itself translates as “Six Attributes Garden.” (You’ll need to dig further for more about that …) Grade: 1

Code: 33500096

Price: $0.50
Wien, I., Museum mit Macia-Thecesien-Denkmal (Austria)
We know the card is from 1946, though looks much older. The front: what you see. The reverse: stamp, a huge special “Befreiungsfeie Wiener Secession” postmark, the attribution “508 M.L.M.W.II”, and no handwriting. (Like a first-day-of-issue cover, though we don’t know.) Grade: 1

Senado Square (Macau)
Sometimes slightly inaccurately referred to as Leal Senado, this photo shows the iconic heart of urban Macau. From personal experience, we can tell you: there are never, ever this few people. UNESCO World Heritage location. Two cards are available. One is unused (Grade: 1, $3). The other was mailed in 2013, with stamp, postmark, and something written in Thai as a rubber-stamp marking (because the card went to Thailand) (Grade: 2, $6).

Code: 33500104
Price: $1.00
Senado Square (Macau) (3D)
Unused card, lenticular printing with two views: one at dusk, one during the day. How they did this with so few people, we’re not sure. Grade: 1

Chicago, Clarence Buckingham Memorial Fountain (USA)
Once again we are indebted to Wikipedia for this information: “a Chicago landmark in the center of Grant Park. Dedicated in 1927, it is one of the largest fountains in the world. Built in a rococo wedding cake style and inspired by the Latona Fountain at the Palace of Versailles, it is meant to allegorically represent Lake Michigan. It operates from April to October, with regular water shows and evening color-light shows. During the winter, the fountain is decorated with festival lights.” And who was Clarence Buckingham? Either Google or the caption on the reverse of this unused postcard will tell you. Grade: 2
