A Taste of Sin
It’s funny, we went to the search engines to see if this was really a romance novel, and of course there is one by this name, but the cover art for that (by Connie Mason) is far from this. Mailed from USA in 2012 with full postmark and four stamps, two of which are uncancelled. Grade: 3

Code: 30000085
Price: $1.00

Chinese reproduction of Russian card
To be 100% clear: what you see in the scan is the design of the card, including all the writing, stamp, and postmark. When you see the reverse, you know the card was made in China and mailed from there in 2012 with two large and different stamps, full postmark, and red bilingual airmail “chop”. So this is a Chinese postcard, not Russian. Grade: 2

Code: 30000091
Price: $2.00

Unused old card that we know we should understand completely, but we don’t. Grade: 1

Code: 30000094
Price: $1.00
Oivalluksesta (Finland)
The word Oivalluksesta translates as “Insight,” but for the rest of the text you either need to do the translation yourself or rely on the abridged version in the message on the reverse. Stamp, not really legible postmark, and Priority label. Grade: 3

Code: 30000095
Price: $3.00
Family of mice
Max Kunzli card 4764, printed in Switzerland but mailed in the USA in 1956 with stamp and partial postmark. Heavily aged and with some water stains. Grade: 4

Old Fashioned Claxton Fruit Cake
Unused Dexter Press card 47233-B. It is our considered belief that there is, in the U.S.A., really only one fruit cake that someone bought many years ago and it keeps being passed around from person to person as a gift. In Hong Kong, we have an equivalent product: mooncakes. Grade: 1

Code: 30000108
Price: $1.00
Talmadge Country Cured Ham (Georgia, USA)
Unused card. Grade: 2

Code: 30000109
Price: $1.00
Every “Little” Helps
Undivided back card, mailed in 1906 with stamp and postmarks from sending and receiving offices. If we are to believe those (and why shouldn’t we?), it took 1-1/2 hours for the card to travel from Lodi to Stockton, Califoria. Not bad! Grade: 3

Code: 30000111
Price: $1.00
Construction worker
Mailed from Germany with two different stamps, trilingual Luftpost label, and address label as well. Grade: 4

Code: 30000112

Code: 30000113
Price: $0.50
Arrival in New York (Henker)
Technically we should list this under “Art”, as it’s an oil painting, but we can’t quite bring ourselves to do that–with profound apologies to the artist. Mailed from Russia in 2012 with six stamps and two large postmarks. Grade: 1

Code: 30000114
Price: $2.00
KULTURburo icons (Germany)
We could put this card into several categories (bicycles, radio, Germany, art …) but are leaving it unclassified in its original spirit. Mailed in 2012 with stamp, postmark, and trilingual blue Priority label affixed. Grade: 2

Code: 30000115
Price: $1.00
Office worker rabbit (China)
It’s cute, but what would you call it? There’s no caption, and the card would want you to think it was made in the U.K., but somehow we doubt that. Anyway, it was mailed from China in 2012 with a large stamp and full postmark. Grade: 1

Code: 30000116
Price: $1.00
Earth treasures (Germany)
At first glance, varieties of squash and pumpkin. But actually, stones. This ambiguously captioned card was mailed from Germany but the stamps were not cancelled. Grade: 4

Code: 30000117
Price: $1.00
Take it easy
We didn’t think this was funny enough to call it “Comic” so we put it here. Mailed from Holland with three different stamps and blue Priority label. Postmark ink transfer on the front. Grade: 3

Code: 30000118
Price: $1.00
Lotus flowers
Though this card was probably not made in Poland, it was mailed from there in 2012, with four stamps, postmark, and blue Priorytet label. Not captioned. Grade: 2

Code: 30000119
Price: $1.00
Woman
We don’t know who this is, and the card gives no clue. It was mailed from Taiwan in 2012 with stamp, postmark, and address label pasted on. Grade: 4

Code: 30000120
Price: $0.50
Luggage in road
The best we can say about this card is that it was mailed from China with stamp and fully readable Shanghai postmark. No caption or attribution. Grade: 4

Code: 30000122
Price: $0.50
It’s Tulip Time in Holland
A postcard of 1915 sheet music. Mailed from Netherlands in 2012 with stamp and partly readable postmark. Grade: 1

Code: 30000123
Price: $1.00
Raindrop
We’re calling this “Raindrop” because we don’t know what else to call it, a card in the shape of a drop of water, with ony an internet attribution. Mailed from China in 2012 with stamp, full postmark, and red faint airmail “chop” in Chinese. Abrasion on lower right front and back. Grade: 3

Code: 30000124
Price: $1.00
Water drop
People like to send cards like these, but we don’t necessarily like to receive them. (Personally, we are far more inclined to appreciate “wish you were here” Greetings From types of card.) This one came from Germany, with stamp and partial postmark. Also, a sticker with two cats. Grade: 4

Code: 30000125
Price: $0.50
Hearts
This card was made in Sweden but mailed from Finland in 2012 with two stamps (one of which is genuinely remarkable and we don’t know how people can really use it), postmark, and Priority label. We see lots of stamps in this business, and want to give full credit to Finland for having some of the most unusual ones. Grade: 1

Code: 30000126
Price: $2.00
