Greetings from Penang – Beaches (Malaysia)
Mailed in the 1990s, with stamp and airmail sticker and indistinct postmark, this card naturally focuses its attention on Batu Ferringhi, where — at least in our experience — only the bravest of souls dared to go into the water. If you don’t know why, we’ll say no more. Grade: 1

Code: 30800185T

Murray, Kentucky
It’s not something we’ll explain here, but this card especially resonates with us. (If you want to know why, just ask.) Unused Curteich-Chicago Large Letter card 1C585-N with some kind of pencilled index number and what looks like lipstick (!) on the reverse. Grade: 3

Code: 30800186

Greetings from Malaysia
The multiple views are all in Kuala Lumpur but the card was mailed in Perak with stamp and very large postmarks on reverse and front (which, for this card only, we don’t consider to be a flaw). The writer may not have been familiar with postcards as he put his own address where the recipient’s should have gone, so someone in the post office (?) drew a big red arrow to guide the postman. Altogether, this card, Grade: 2

Code: 30800197
Price: $5.00

Greetings from the Gold Coast (Australia)
Once upon a time, the Gold Coast was not as … what? … “popular” as it is now. Even back in 1976, when this card was mailed (with stamp, airmail sticker, and some of the postmark), it focuses on Surfers Paradise and looks busy. Those birds are lorikeets. Grade: 1

Dover, Greetings (Delaware, USA)
This unused Dexter Press card 10288-B (DD-86) is about as iconic as a circa-1950s postcard can be. It is exactly as we would have wanted to receive, and we hope you would, too. The caption is quite detailed. Grade: 1

Code: 30800200
Price: $6.00
Las Vegas
Mailed in the 1970s with a 10-cent stamp and partial postmark, this card has serrated edges and assorted creases. Technically it’s not in very good shape but if you are collecting marquee signs, this is a good one. Grade: 4
