Greetings from Wiesbaden (Germany)
Card written and stamped for mailing in 1970, but no postmark, so who knows… Serrated edges, and in fine condition otherwise. Grade: 4
-
Greetings from Amsterdam
Unused card from 1967, and the first card we ever bought from outside North America. But we rarely add to the cost just for sentimental value!! Serrated edges, aging reverse, and fine shape overall. Grade: 2
-
Hello from Kings Cross (Sydney)
The card was mailed in Malaysia in 1986 and has Malaysian stamp with partly legible postmark. Apart from slight aging on reverse, it’s in surprisingly good condition for having travelled so far and so often. Grade: 3
-
Greetings from Australia
Unusually bright or maybe we should say shiny card with kookaburras, mailed in 1985 with stamp and blue airmail sticker affixed. A bit of staining on reverse, nothing too significant. Grade: 2
-
Greetings from Townsville (Australia)
Card was mailed in 1977, and has its stamp and partial postmark. It also has a blue airmail sticker affixed. Serrated edges, basically perfect on the front. Grade: 2

-
Groeten uit Kortenhoef (Netherlands)
Nice, small-town Dutch card with a twist: it was mailed in South Africa, with what is supposed to be a 3D “International Airmail Postcard” stamp, but to be honest apart from odd colours we find nothing 3D about it. Blue airmail label is there, along with a postmark. Grade: 3
-
Greetings from Delaware (USA)
The kind of postcard everyone wants to get, then and now. Large-letter Curteich-Chicago C.T. Art-Colortone linen card 9A-H1481, unused. Grade: 1
-
Kind regards
Card made in Germany, but written in USA and handed to the addressee without mailing. There is a 1/4″ tear in left margin, not too obtrusive. Grade: 4

Unused card of a race in which as many as 800 horses take part. Grade: 1

Unused card. Grade: 1
-
Keep your tips up (Australia)
No telling when this card was made, except that it probably wasn’t the early 1900s. Never mailed, it has a message written on the reverse but no stamp or address. A bit of aging, and serrated edges. Grade: 4
-
Greetings from Darwin (Australia)
The “Greetings from Darwin” part of this unused card from the 1990s is by far not the focus of the card. There’s a cute caption in the space where the stamp would go. Grade: 1
-
Burlington, Greetings, multiple view (Vermont, USA)
Unused “local” card indexed as #137724. Grade: 1
-
Greatings (sic) from Mongolia – Otgontenger Mountain
Looking very much like artwork from the U.S.A.’s Old West, this scene is far from there–and real-life, stark, very beautiful. Unused card. Grade: 1
-
Greetings from Penang (Malaysia)
Card was mailed in 1991 and has Wilayah Persekutuan stamp and mostly legible postmark. Some latent postal creasing only. Grade: 2
-
Greetings from Death Valley (USA) (folio)
In 1965, Western Resort Publications produced this “Greetings from Death Valley” folio of 12 connected photos, meant to be sent together as one unit, and so it was–in 1971, as scan shows. The reverse shows Scotty’s Castle. Grade: 1
-
Guernsey, C.I., multiple views
We will also place this card — mailed from Sark in 1984 with a Guernsey stamp and readable postmark — in along with those from England. Those three sites are identified in the caption on the reverse. Grade: 1
-
Greetings from San Francisco
Linen, Nature Tone Views, ca. mid-1940s. Issued by Scenic View Card Co., unused, aging, and typical of the era. Grade: 2
-
Borneo
It’s a lot cheaper to get this card than it is to fly to Borneo, trust us. The card was issued in about the 1980s by the Holiday Inn in Kuching. Unused, starting to age, but in excellent shape. Grade: 1
-
Amsterdam
Unused Rembrandt card B from 1969 has serrated edges and is aging noticeably on the reverse but otherwise still very good. Grade: 2
-
Holland (hyacinths)
Unused card from the 1960s, great condition on the front but aging significantly on the reverse. It has serrated edges, but most notably a stick-on applique saying “Greetings from Holland” and once containing “real scent of hyacinths.” We’ve not peeled it back to see whether any of the scent remains. Grade: 2
-
Greetings from Holland (Hyacinths)
The greetings on this card appear on an applique once containing “real scent of hyacinths.” We don’t know whether any of that remains, because the card is from the 1960s, unused, with serrated edges, and aging on the reverse. The front is still very nice. Grade: 2
-
Hilsen (Greetings) fra Danmark
Nice card but the views are not necessarily what one might associate with Denmark. Well, that’s why postcards exist, isn’t it? Mailed in 1997, with stamp and partly legible postmark. Grade: 1
-
Greetings from the Norfolk Broads (England)
The Broads (known for marketing purposes as The Broads National Park) is a network of rivers and lakes in the counties of Norfolk and Suffolk. Although the terms “Norfolk Broads” and “Suffolk Broads” are correctly used to identify specific areas within the two counties respectively, the whole area is frequently referred to as the Norfolk Broads. The lakes, known as broads, were formed by the flooding of peat workings. The Broads, and some surrounding land, were constituted as a special area with a level of protection similar to a national park by the Norfolk and Suffolk Broads Act 1988. The area is 303 square km, most of which is in Norfolk. Now having said all that, the card was mailed in 1961 and pre-dates National Park status, but its two different stamps and clear postmark are there, and this is an ideal souvenir of the location. Grade: 1
-
Labuan (Malaysia)
Issued by the Lions Club of Labuan, this card was stamped (early 1990s) for mailing but there is no postmark at all. There is, though, full message and address. “Greetings from Labuan” is captioned on the reverse. Grade: 2
-
Greetings from Hongkong Chinese Fortune Teller
This is another card sometimes seen in reference books. It’s published by M. Sternberg #2418, unused but heavily handled, and has a pencilled notation “c.1900” and other index numbers on the reverse. Grade: 4
-
Greetings from Bemidji (Minnesota)
Bemidji, home of Paul Bunyan and Babe the Blue Ox, and a beautiful area. Unused large letter postcard from 2008. Grade: 1
-
Howdy from Wall Drug (South Dakota)
This is the kind of card you like to get and not feel too guilty about. Unused. Grade: 1
-
South Dakota
Three of these unused cards are available. The reverse is interesting, heavily coloured with a faded version of the front, and with two different built-in barcodes apparently giving the vendor a choice of classification. Well, we do the same thing, but without the barcodes. Grades: 1
-
North Carolina
Two of these unused cards from the 1980s are available. Grades: 1
-
Santa Fe and Taos (New Mexico) (folio)

From the 1950s, an unmailed card but heavily handled and abraded, with pencilled notes and a travel agent’s black rubber stamp on the reverse. Grade: 4

-
Greatings (sic) from Mongolia – Sharga village, Gobi-Altai province
We are obliged to state what you see as the header for this card, because that’s the exact caption. But unless those nine men are the village, someone got the wrong caption. Unused card. Grade: 1
-
Siong Lim Temple (Singapore)
This card was mailed in Malaysia in 1990, with stamp and part of a postmark. Grade: 3
