Unused. Grade: 1

Code: 31100515
Price: $1.00
Yellowstone National Park, Old Faithful (Wyoming)
Among Wyoming postcards, we understand 100% that pictures of Old Faithful are not in short supply. Here’s an unused card at a cost not much more than retail, and this is a lot cheaper than actually going there to buy it. Case made. Grade: 1

Code: 31100516
Price: $1.00
Hawaii Volcanoes National Park, Kilauea Volcano
To be exact, the Pu’u O’o Vent, on an unused card with the date 11/87 gently marked on the back. Grade: 3

Code: 31100524
Price: $1.00
Rocky Mountain National Park, Dream Lake, Hallett Peak (Colorado, USA)
“A short hike from Bear Lake” and the kind of postcard you send to other people. Unused Mike Roberts card C2736. Grade: 1

Code: 31100525
Price: $0.50
Natural Bridge State Park (Kentucky, USA)
Quite a long and fact-filled caption on this unused Curteichcolor Art-Creation card 5C-K372 (KY 56). Grade: 1

Code: 31100526
Price: $1.00
Mt. Rushmore National Monument (South Dakota, USA)
We hope the Monument will remain as “imperishable” as the caption on this unused Dexter Press card 80774-B promises. Slight aging. Grade: 1

Code: 31100527
Price: $0.50
Jedediah Smith Redwoods State Park (California)
This unused card from the Save-the-Redwoods League shows the Mr. and Mrs. Jesse H. Metcalf Grove. Slight aging. Grade: 2

Code: 31100529
Price: $0.50
Yenchao Badland Geopark (set of six+) (Taiwan)
We need to explain. We have two of these sets, in their original envelopes. One has been opened and one is still sealed, so we don’t verify what’s inside. The six basic cards, of which you see three in the scan, are very high-quality real-photo cards captioned in Chinese and English, and with significant explanations of natural phenomena on the reverses. The reason we need to explain is because the open set also includes one more unused card, calligraphy we can’t read at all, with no English caption or explanation. We do not know if this card was added to the opened pack later, or if it would also appear in the sealed pack. Therefore one set has seven cards and the other may only have six, we don’t know. There you go. Both sets are the same price and both sets are Grade: 1.

Code: 31100531
Price: $11.00
Yuma, Quartermaster Depot (Arizona, USA)
Part of the military outpost of Fort Yuma in the late 1800s, now a State Historic Park, on this unused card. Grade: 1

Code: 31100532
Price: $1.00
Gillette Castle state park (Hadlyme, Connecticut, USA)
Unused. Online reviews make this look like a good place for families to visit, but you need to know about Sherlock Holmes … Grade: 1

Code: 31100533
Price: $1.00
Përshëndetje nga Kosova – national park features (Kosovo)
We sometimes observe that one postcard fits many of our theme categories. This is one of those. Bilingual Albanian/English captions identify Kosovo National Park “Sharr Mountains”, Brezna Lake close Koritnik Mountain; Marble Cave (Lipjan); Mirusha Waterfall (Llapusha); Badovc Lake (Prishtina); National Park “Accursed Mountains”; Kucishta Lake; and a Sharr dog in the center. That should keep the search engines busy. Unused. Grade: 1

Code: 31100534
Price: $11.00
Mu Koh Chang National Park (Thailand)
Mailed in 2019 with three different stamps, two full postmarks, and one blue Airmail label, and captioned in Thai and English. The specific scene is Koh Man Nai, and Mu Koh Chang National Park is in Trat. Altogether, the iconic contemporary Thailand postcard. Grade: 1

Code: 31100535
Price: $4.00
Bako National Park (Sarawak, East Malaysia)
Unused Sabah Handicraft Centre card SHC/PC/138, dated approx. 1991, 5″ x 7″, showing a mangrove plankwalk on the Lintang Trail, bearded pigs, and Nepenthes ampullaria. Grade: 1

Code: 31100537
Price: $3.00
Mulu National Park, King Room, Wind Cave (Sarawak, East Malaysia)
We apologise if this card winds up upside down, but we really can’t tell which way is up. Unused Crystal card CPC-014, 5″ x 7″, Grade: 1

Code: 31100538
Price: $3.00
Gunung Mulu National Park, Wind Cave, King’s Room (Sarawak, East Malaysia)

Unused card SC-125 with Thai and English captions. Grade: 1

Code: 31100541
Price: $2.00
Fort Lincoln State Park (North Dakota, USA)
If we assume this structure is the same as the one on our entry 10135005, can you spot the main difference? Unused card of this U.S. Army post used by Gen. George Custer. Grade: 1

Code: 31100542
Price: $2.00
Miguasha National Park, Quebec (Canada)
From Canada Post, a postage pre-paid card, mailed in 2020 with Prioritaire label. The card specifies that this park is a UNESCO World Heritage location. Grade: 1

Code: 31100543
Price: $2.00
Nanih Waiya State Park (Mississippi, USA)
Greetings from Nanih Waiya State Park, on an unused card whose caption squeezes a lot of information about sacred mounds, the Choctaws, dates, and so on, into seven lines. Deep South card DS-713. Grade: 1

Code: 31100544
Price: $2.00
Grand Canyon, Winter View from the South Rim (Arizona, USA)
Unused “local” card, with a very minor smudge on the reverse. Grade: 2

Code: 31100545
Price: $2.00
Sequoia National Park, The Sentinels (sic) (California)
The poorly written caption on this unused Mike Roberts card C23925 says, in its entirety, “The Sentinels, along the General’s Highway, is typical of the largest and oldest trees to be found in the park.” Leaving aside ambiguity about singular and plural, there is one “The Sentinel” near the park’s museum, and then there are “sentinels,” a type of tree more numerous in the area. In any event, the card is OK. Grade: 1

Code: 31100546
Price: $3.00
Yosemite National Park, Vernal Fall (California)
Unused Curteichcolor card 9C-K2785, showing the Merced River’s 317′ drop. Grade: 1

Code: 31100547
Price: $1.00
Yosemite National Park, Half Dome (California)
Unused Curteichcolor card 2DK-296 (370), whose caption — then — said it rises 4,892′ above the valley floor, while Wikipedia — now — says it rises “more than 4,737′”. So, technically, both figures could be true. (Think about it!) Grade: 1

Code: 31100548
Price: $1.00
Death Valley National Monument, sand dunes (California)
Unused Plastichrome card P65973 with a perforated lower edge. Grade: 1

Code: 31100549
Price: $1.00
Mill Valley, Gateway to Muir Woods National Monument (California)
Unused H.S. Crocker Mirro-Krome card RW-5-1, the entrance to a redwood grove. Grade: 1

Code: 31100550
Price: $2.00
Rocky Mountain National Park, Bear Lake (Colorado, USA)
Unused Mike Roberts card C231, showing Long’s Peak in the background (14,255′ in the caption; 14,259′ in Wikipedia). Grade: 1

Code: 31100551
Price: $2.00
Great Smoky Mountains National Park, The Chimney Tops and Little Pigeon River (Tennessee, USA)
Unused card. Grade: 1

Code: 31100552
Price: $2.00
Mathieson State Park, Ottawa (Illinois, USA)
The caption on this unused “local” card is a bit defensive. We find it amusing, so, exceptionally, we’re going to let you see it all here. (Don’t blame us!): “Just west of OTTAWA and east of LA SALLE-PERU, ILL., easily reached by U.S. Rt. 6 and Interstate 80. The magnificent scenery in this park proves the fallacy of the opinion that Illinois is just a flat agricultural state.” Personally, we find agriculture to be quite beautiful, and necessary. Grade: 1

Code: 31100554
Price: $2.00
Spring Mill State Park, Munson House, Cordwainer Shop (Indiana, USA)
We weren’t certain what a cordwainer was — despite the clarity of the photo — so we went to our trusty Wikipedia, which told us: “A cordwainer is a shoemaker who makes new shoes from new leather. The cordwainer’s trade can be contrasted with the cobbler’s trade, according to a tradition in Britain that restricted cobblers to repairing shoes.” So now we both know. Unused “local” card. Grade: 1

Code: 31100555
Price: $1.00
Maquoketa Caves State Park, 17 Ton Balanced Rock (Iowa, USA)
Unused but with significant staining on the reverse. Grade: 4

Code: 31100556
Price: $0.50
Acadia National Park, Surf along Ocean Drive (Bar Harbor, Maine, USA)
Unused Mike Roberts card C8868 (ME1030), showing Mt. Cadillac in the background. Showing its age a little bit. Grade: 1

Code: 31100557
Price: $1.00
Itasca State Park, Headwaters of the Mississippi River (Minnesota, USA)
Different publishers use minor variations of this photo, and this caption, to describe a location we lived near but somehow never visited. So here’s a clear message to you: don’t put off seeing something famous in your neighbourhood. Unused Dexter Press card 38951-B from 1961. Grade: 1

Code: 31100558
Price: $3.00
Mississippi Palisades State Park (Illinois, USA)
Confusing if you don’t already know where this is: it’s not in (or even close to) Mississippi. This card is a view of the Palisades and the Mississippi River from the Savanna (Illinois) and Sabula (Iowa) Bridge. Someone had written “1960s” into the postage area, but otherwise unused. Grade: 3
