US Capitol, night

Code: 31600014
Price: $2.00
US Capitol
What can we say, it’s a card of the Capitol Building. Maybe the foliage has grown a bit since the card was issued in the 60s or earlier. Capsco card K-8121, unused. Grade: 1

Code: 31600015
Price: $2.00
Central Post Office (Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam)

Code: 31600026
Price: $10.00

Little abrasions around the corners of this card mailed in the 1970s, with stamp and lots of postmark but none of it legible. Grade: 2

Code: 31600028
Price: $3.50
Kremlin (Moscow)
Classic Soviet card, flimsy and therefore full of latent creasing, two very large stamps and fully legible postmarks. Mailed in 1969, this just about represents the period perfectly. Grade: 2

Code: 31600029
Price: $9.50

Supreme Court and City Hall (Singapore) (3D)
Wonder Co. of Tokyo seemed to make many of Asia’s 3D lenticular image cards in the 1970s-80s. Maybe they still do? Distributed by Jany Batcha Co. JS-7, this was mailed from Singapore in 1989 with two different stamps and readable postmark, along with blue bilingual airmail sticker affixed. Grade: 1

Code: 31600033
Price: $16.00

Some red postal ink smudging on front, not serious. Grade: 3, $7) and one in 1991 (Seven stamps, of which two are huge, four full postmarks, red bilingual par avion chop, brilliant and extremely desireable card. Grade: 1, $29)

Code: 31600035
Price: $7.00

To be exact, it’s the “Government Center of the Autonomous Region of Muslim Mindanao.” Unused 1996 card from this somewhat contentious area. Grade: 1

Price: $2.00
U.S. Capitol
We keep saying there’s no shortage of cards portraying certain subjects, and this is one of those subjects. But, you know, specialists track foliage and minor changes. Card mailed in 1967 with stamp and full New York state postmark. Grade: 2

Code: 31600046
Price: $1.00
Bangunan Sultan Ibrahim building, Johor Bahru (Malaysia)
A redundancy in the caption of this card, because “bangunan” means “building” in Malay. Never mind! This 5″ x 7″ card was mailed in 1991, with a Selangor stamp and much of the large postmark. There is some Malaysian postal service orange barcoding on the reverse, and two tiny wormholes along the bottom. Grade: 4

Code: 31600048
Price: $3.50
Main Mew of Government Building, Johore Bahru (Malaysia)
This card, mailed in 1986, was used to enter a contest. The front is a little creased and postally battered. The reverse has the stamp but is a mess otherwise. Definitely authentic! Grade: 4

Code: 31600049
Price: $2.50
Government Building, Johore Bahru (Malaysia)
Three mailed cards are available, two from 1986 and one from 1990. Two of the three have stamp and partial postmark (Grades: 2, $3). The third has a full postmark but also some ink transfer on the front (Grade: 3, $3).

Federal Government offices, Kuala Lumpur (Malaysia)
Two cards are available. One was mailed in 1991 with Selangor stamp and exceptionally clear Batu Arang postmark, really a very nice example (Grade: 1, $3). The other was mailed in 1990, has a stamp, most of a postmark, orange postal bar coding, and is quite heavily aged (Grade: 3, $2).

Code: 31600053
Price: $3.00
Court House and Confederate Monument, Lake Charles (Louisiana)
Rather nice of its kind, apart from some postmark transfer on the front of the card. Reverse has a full postmark from 1941, and a one-cent stamp. Good card overall. Grade: 2

Code: 31600054
Price: $5.00
White House, North Front (Washington)
This card was published by W.B. Garrison, Inc. The front shows corner creasing and abrasion, and the reverse is unused apart from the beginning of a name someone wrote in ink many years ago, always leading us to wonder–how is it possible to get through half of a name and no further? Anyway, Grade: 4

Code: 31600055
Price: $6.50
New Court House, Chicago
Unused but heavily aged and battered, with tears and stains. Still, it guarantees that the “New Court House” is now, well, “old”. If it’s even still there. Grade: 4

Code: 31600056
Price: $5.50

Code: 31600058
Price: $3.00
Parliament House (Brunei)

Malacca, Clock Tower and Government Buildings (Malaysia)
Unused, mid-century A.S.M.K. & Co. of Singapore, card M-254 (13494-B). That “rosy” colour is distinctive not only to Malacca but also to other locations, like Macau, once under Portuguese influence. Grade: 1

Code: 31600061T
Price: $8.00

Customs Building, Johore Bahru (Malaysia)
Aging S.W. Singapore card JB 7822 with Johor stamp and unreadable postmark. Note once again that we follow spellings as used on the cards and the stamps, which is why you may often see “Johor” and “Bahru” in multiple variants. Grade: 3
