Mailed in 1929 with stamp and (very) full postmark, this aged card shows the Monument to the Battle of the Nations, the 1813 Battle of Leipzig.

Code: 34200113
Price: $7.00
1945 – U.S. Soldiers in France
This very heavily handled card is unused. On the reverse, the message area is pre-printed with: “MY ADDRESS IS__________ CO., ________________, PARIS ISLAND, S.C.” (“Paris”-sic, should be Parris) so this card was most likely for recruits or draftees to send from Basic Training. Grade: 3

Code: 34200114
Price: $5.00
Old Fort Sill (Oklahoma)
Unused “local” card 47482 with a short but detailed caption, including: “Apache Prisoner of War Blacksmith Shop (Replica).” Grade: 2

Code: 34200115
Price: $2.00
Torpedoboot bei schwerem Seegang (Germany)
Here’s what we can tell you about this sepia card: it was mailed, because there’s a 1917 postmark (and date on the mostly unreadable message) but there is no sign there was ever any stamp on the front or the back. Printed attribution: “155 W.B. Levy, Hamburg Zensur Altona 527”. Clearly from World War One. We’re not certain how to grade this because of the stamp issue, but because the front is so good we will call it Grade: 2

Code: 34200116
Price: $5.00

Unused, unattributed card. Grade: 1

Code: 34200117

OH-58 Kiowa (USA)

Code: 34200121
Price: $2.00
The Fall of Richmond, Virginia (USA)
This is a Currier and Ives lithograph of the April, 1865 U.S. Civil War event. The card is not so old, of course, being mailed in 2013 with stamp and unusually clear postmark. Some minor USPS processing abrasion on the back, and faint orange barcoding on the front. Grade: 3

Code: 34200122
Price: $1.00
The Sinking of the Fascist A.A. Cruiser Niobe (USSR)
This is an unused, Soviet-era (1976) card whose reverse is almost entirely taken up with the story of the event, in Russian. It would be awkward but not impossible to mail this as a postcard in the normal way. Grade: 1

Code: 34200123
Price: $3.00
Mogilev, monument to fallen soldiers (Belarus)
The problem with this picture is the scan quality, not the card. No matter what we do, we can’t get a decent scan. There should be no lines in the sky; you should be seeing a normal, blue sky with a few clouds. No idea what the problem is, but it’s not the card’s fault. Mailed in 2013 with three stamps and two postmarks, and some orange postal barcoding. Grade: 2

Code: 34200124
Price: $1.00
San Diego, Marine Corps Recruit Depot (California)

Code: 34200125

Code: 34200126
Price: $3.00
Halifax, Soldiers Monument, Province Buildings Square (Canada)
Vintage Valentine & Sons card, mailed in what might be 1910 but two overlapping postmarks make that hard to read. The stamp is still there. Grade: 3

Code: 34200127
Price: $5.00
1945 Military tank (Russia)
From the same series as our entry 34200126, mailed in 2013 with three stamps (including an enormous one of a bear) and equally large postmark. Address label affixed. Grade: 4

Code: 34200128
Price: $3.00
Naval Review, April 1893 (R. Bracklow) (USA)
