Greetings from Indianapolis – South Grove Golf Course (Indiana, USA)
A plan announced in 2019 to close this course “within a few years” drew all sorts of reactions, not least of which was someone’s observation that “fewer people are playing golf”. Well, if golf courses close, that will definitely be the case. Unused, older Metrocraft card 44719, aging somewhat but still: Grade: 1
-
Greetings from Mississippi (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. Grade: 1
-
Greetings from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania (USA)
Although we personally like the original large letter postcards, this one is about as good as it gets for a contemporary version. Mailed in 2020, with three different stamps and postmark. Grade: 2

-
GREETINGS — From “The Amish Country” (USA)
The Dexter Press card 21018-B does not specify Pennsylvania apart from having been published there, and mailed from there — so we know. What we don’t know, and will never know, is whether these women gave permission for their photo to be used, and whether or not the overall darkness to obscure their faces was deliberate. We’re thinking: maybe to the first question, and yes to the second. Dexter Press would have had better quality control. Mailed many years ago, with abraded stamp and obscured postmark. Grade: 3
-

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
-
