Mt. Hood, Timberline Lodge (Oregon, USA)
If you’re familiar with Stanley Kubrick’s film “The Shining”, you might recognize this hotel’s exterior shots. The card, unfortunately, was not handled with any more love than the characters in the film. Mailed in 2024, with five mostly old stamps (one is abraded), postmark, and sender’s and recipient’s address labels stuck on. Grade: 5

Kirovsk, Khibiny Mountains (Russia)
Mailed in 2024 with two different stamps and postmark. Grade: 1

La Pas (sic), Panoramic view of Illimani (Bolivia)
Another example where retouching an original photo somehow makes the whole area look radioactive, but even so, a great earlier view of La Paz, now a very large city. The card was mailed using a postage meter in 1967. Grade: 1
