Code: 31600009
Price: $5.00
Colorado, Denver
This Plastichrome card P33882 (D30) would have been made sometime in the 1960s, and while it was never mailed, it has aged hugely on the reverse. The front is very nice, though, and you can compare those flowers over time. Grade: 4

Code: 31600010
Price: $3.00
Connecticut, Hartford
This lovely old card was mailed in 1907 and still has the 1-cent stamp plus postmarks from sending and receiving locations. It also has such a poignant message on the front. Despite a small abrasion on lower left front corner, and postmark smudging on the front, we still assign this as: Grade: 2

Code: 31600011
Price: $9.50
Delaware, Dover
The Delmar Mdse K-18334 unused card’s caption is “New State House,” so we are curious whether the state house was new when the card was new or if the state itself was new, which would make the card quite old, but it’s not–it’s from roughly the 1960s–so we are puzzled. But the card is just fine. Grade: 1

Code: 31600013
Price: $4.00
US Capitol, night
Postcards of the Capitol not being in terribly short supply, we offer this one on the basis of its excellent condition for its age (1960s). Unused Prince Lithograph card PE-5N. Grade: 2

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
Georgia, Atlanta

Price: $3.00

Price: $3.00
Idaho, Boise
From the 1960s, an unused Mike Roberts card NCI-8 (also C17681) whose caption describes this large building as being “in the downtown section of the city” of Boise. The photo hides that particular fact very well. Card is aging significantly on the reverse. Grade: 3

Code: 31600018
Price: $3.50

Very nice unused Dexter Press card 58783-B from the 1960s. Apart from being just a little dull on the front, it’s in excellent shape. Grade: 1

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.

Code: 31600033
Price: $16.00

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
