Mt. Kilimanjaro, ice crater
In the 1960s when this Elite Group card was bought, the mountain looked like this. So much of the snow and ice is gone now. Yes, this is a common theme in our card descriptions, because we hate that it’s happening. Unused card, crease in upper right front corner, undamaged reverse. Grade: 3

Code: 34300064
Price: $5.50

Code: 34300068
Price: $2.00

Mt. Kilimanjaro – Kibo Peak
It was a great climb, not to be forgotten. This unused Pegas card has serrated edges, is aging slowly on reverse, and really is virtually as-new. Will newly printed cards show the peak without snow? Grade: 1

Code: 34300078

Matterhorn, Zermatt (Switzerland)
This Photoglob card 7007w was mailed in 1986 with two stamps and full Zermatt postmark. It’s a great example for a Matterhorn card. Grade: 1

Code: 34300080
Price: $3.50
Saas-Fee, Wallis (Switzerland)
It’s a good idea to label the horizon as they’ve done. The card was mailed in 1970, so the view is probably about the same, unless there’s less snow? Two stamps, mostly legible postmark. Grade: 1

Code: 34300081
Price: $4.00
Zermatt and Matterhorn (Switzerland)
Card dates from 1985, has a stamp and mostly legible postmark. Grade: 1

Code: 34300083T
Price: $7.00

Price: $3.50
Mt. Rushmore, night
Two Mike Roberts cards (C14326) from the 1960s are available. One is unused and shows a little corner abrasion (Grade: 2, $2). The other was mailed in 1971 with stamp and full postmark (Grade: 1, $3).

Code: 34300086
Price: $2.00

Sunrise Peak (Cheju Island, Korea)

Unused card issued by Korean Air sometime in the 1980s. If you browse through our “Japan” category, you’ll find a photo of Mt. Fuji that’s nearly identical–but with snow, of course. Considering the shared histories, that’s ironic. Grade: 1

Code: 34300087

Price: $3.50

Gerlos, Zillertal, Tirol (Austria)
Real-photo card mailed in 1961 and with stamp and a large, almost philatelic postmark. Grade: 1

Price: $6.00
Mt. Kinabalu and Kota Kinabalu Shangri-La Hotel (Malaysia)
This 1991 card of one of Borneo’s highlights (the mountain, not the hotel) has an illegible postmark and slightly crumpled stamp, as well as minor edge crumpling, but the photos are clear. Grade: 3

Code: 34300089
Price: $4.50
Great Smoky Mountains, Newfound Gap
Unused Dexter Press card 99127-B from the 1960s, but we suspect the view may not have changed much. Virtually as-new. Grade: 1

Code: 34300091
Price: $3.00
Great Smoky Mountains
Everything about this card would have you think it is located in Tennessee but we did our homework and it looks like it’s really North Carolina. The writer thought so too. Mailed in 1998 (from Minnesota, that’s no help) with two different 32-cent stamps. Abrasion on reverse probably caused by cancellation machine. Grade: 2

Code: 34300092
Price: $2.00
Lugano, Panorama con il Monte Brè (Switzerland)
Lugano has been around for a very, very long time. Monte Brè (925 m) is a small mountain east of Lugano on the flank of Monte Boglia (1,516 m) and is considered one of the sunniest points in Switzerland. Making Lugano look almost tropical, this postcard was mailed from Italy in 1962, with stamp and postmark; it went to Singapore where it attracted another large postmark and then went on to the U.K. And now, it’s here in Hong Kong — and could go to you. Grade: 3

Code: 34300093T
Price: $6.00
Tryfan (Wales)
Mailed in 1961, the card has stamp and postmark and airmail sticker and a very long message completely filling that area. Nonetheless, it’s a good view and Grade: 1

Code: 34300094T
Price: $3.00
Mt. Kinabalu (Sabah, Malaysia)

Finally, one was mailed in Malaysia in 1986 with three stamps, blurred postmark, and blue Mel Udara label affixed (Grade: 2, $3).

Code: 34300096
Price: $3.00

Code: 34300097

Mt. Edith Cavell (Canada)
Unused card, beginning to age and with a small stain on the reverse. Grade: 3

Code: 34300100
Price: $1.50
Longs Peak (Colorado)
Unused card, serrated edges. Front is perfect and at first glance so is the reverse, but look closer and see the card had been taped to something. Almost invisible, but the abrasions are there. Grade: 3

Code: 34300101
Price: $1.00
