This 4-3/4″ x 6-3/4″ card was mailed in 2013 with two stamps, postmark, blue bilingual By Air Mail label, red air mail chop, and orange postal barcoding.  Grade: 2

Mailed in 2013 with three different stamps, parts of two postmarks, and blue Priority label affixed.  Grade: 1

We’re not sure what to make of this, but it is an unused card made in China, generic English friendship text on the back, and what looks a lot like Korean writing in the sand with the heart.  Grade: 1

This unused Chinese-made postcard has a unique story.  You won’t believe it, but it’s true:  it defeats every known scanning attempt, on many different machines.  The horizontal lines you see in the photo are not on the card.  Regardless of resolution, no scanner has been able to capture this image accurately.  We have only seen this happen two or three other times, and never to this extent.  Try your luck.  The card itself:  Grade: 1

Clever “I heart” design on this unused card.  Grade: 1

Mailed in 2013 with a “Belgian chocolate” stamp that smells (and tastes) like chocolate.  Indistinct postmark, “A Prior” label, and a very small amount of correctional fluid fixing a mistake in the message.  A lot of good character.  Grade: 3

Mailed in 2013 with uncancelled stamp and Priority label alongside an enormous QR code.  Grade: 4 (because of no postmark)

On the back, it says “I (heart) cheap!”  It’s a card from a TV/internet provider, tele2.nl.  Mailed in in 2013 with three stamps, Priority label, and Amsterdam postmark.  Grade: 2

Not really a stretch to include this card in the “I (heart)” category.  Unused, U.S.-made Colorscope card S-2093.  Grade: 1

Unused card, clever variation on the “I (heart)” theme, but on the back it’s conventional.  Grade: 1

Pretty much the classic “I (heart)” postcard, mailed from there in 2014 with three different stamps, Priority label, and multiple overlapping postmarks.  Grade: 1

A sort of ad card, though if it’s not for Brabant, we don’t know for what.  Mailed in 2014, with stamp and postmark.  Grade: 1

Great but for one small thing:  it was mailed from Spain, in 2014, with three stamps and postmark.  Grade: 3

Sylt is a popular tourist island, even if this card isn’t immediately understandable to someone who hasn’t been there.  Mailed in 2013, with stamp, Priority label, and postmark.  Orange postal barcoding on the reverse.  Grade: 2

An ad card promoting nature routes for cycling.  Yes, we know it’s not “I (heart)”, but it’s in the spirit.  Mailed in 2014, with stamp and blue A Prior label affixed.  The Hong Kong postmark also made it onto the front.  Grade: 4

We would say “iconic” except no windmills, tulips, or wooden shoes appear.  Mailed in 2014, with stamp and full postmark.  Grade: 1

Mailed in 2013, with three different stamps, postmark, and Priority imprint.  Orange postal barcoding on the front bottom.  Grade: 3

This card might resonate more if it said Я (сердце) Москва, but it does come from Russia and was mailed from there in 2013 with two stamps and other assorted postmarks and markings.  Grade: 2

This card and 33700078 are really extraordinary.  The scan doesn’t pick it up, but each card is printed with tiny iridescent speckles that look a little like snow falling, but that’s not the intended effect.  So very much in this unused card.  Grade: 1

Unused Nouvelles Images card from 2008.  Grade: 1
