Code: 31100434
Price: $8.00
Xingu Indigenous Park, Indians of Various Tribes (Brazil)
Though it’s strange enough to see such a multi-tribal group, this postcard has something different on the back. Long ago, someone in Brazil cut out a “personals” ad (in Portuguese) from the newspaper, and pasted it in the message area, along with a handwritten notation in the address area. While this does deface the card, it adds a new dimension. We’ll assign Grade: 4

Official Photographs of Mount Rushmore (set) (South Dakota, USA)
Several cautions for you here, so please note: our scan shows you the somewhat tattered front paper cover of this set. It says there are nine photos. *BUT* the set had been opened long ago, and re-sealed itself, and we cannot and would not guarantee all nine photos are there. We’re certain there are more than one. And we take them at their word that these are “photos” and may not be postcards at all. With all that out of the way, this is definitely old and we like the instruction they provide, that this was produced “to further a correct interpretation of this Memorial”. (How could it be misinterpreted? That the four Presidents were Buchanan, Harding, Tyler, and Fillmore?) We will assign Grade: 2

Code: 31100442
Price: $11.00

Code: 31100443
Price: $23.00
Mount Ngaruahoe National Park (New Zealand)
The Wikipedia entry for this volcano is interesting. Here’s a condensed snippet: “In 1974, as part of a promotional campaign for his sponsor, skier Jean-Claude Killy was filmed skiing down the previously unskied eastern slope … The average slope on this side of the volcano is 35 degrees, and Killy was caught on radar skiing more than 100 miles per hour. As he fell on the first run, he did the descent twice. He used helicopters to access the mountain top when the last eruption had been the day before, and an eruption occurred at the end of his final run. Mount Ngauruhoe was used as a stand-in for the fictional Mount Doom in Peter Jackson’s The Lord of the Rings film trilogy, achieving worldwide exposure …” Go visit! The postcard was mailed in or about 1976, judging from the dated postage stamp, with airmail sticker and indistinct postmark. A nice card. Grade: 1
