To My Dear Cousin (USA)
Somehow we have two of these, mailed two years apart from different sides of the country. One was mailed in Tacoma in 1909; stamp and postmark are there (Grade: 3, $1). The other was mailed from Rahway, NJ, in 1911 with stamp and two overlapping postmarks (Grade: 3, $1).

Eleanor
Not sure if this card was postally used–we don’t think so, as there’s no stamp or postmark, but message (to Eleanor!) and address are there. Embossed, glitter, and if you know someone named Eleanor, how can you resist? Grade: 4

Code: 30000251
Price: $1.00
To My Dear Cousin
Heavily aged, not postally used but with a name pencilled on the back. Grade: 4

Code: 30000252
Price: $0.50
To My Dear Uncle (USA)
Mailed in 1910, this embossed card has its stamp and full postmark. If such cards were available these days, what do you think might follow “To My Dear …”? Grade: 1

Code: 30000253
Price: $1.00
To My Darling Niece (USA)
Not postally used, but with a plaintive message from Aunt Laura on the reverse. Grade: 4

Code: 30000255
Price: $0.50
Winston Churchill quotation, George W. Bush
We decided not to list this unused, lightly stained ad card (with text taking up the entire reverse) under “U.S. Presidents” because–well, just because. It is a very highly critical view of U.S. actions in the Middle East, but the card originated in the U.K. Grade: 3

Code: 30000256
Price: $1.00
An Interesting Passage
Mailed in the USA in 1910; the stamp is there, and part of a postmark. Grade: 3

Code: 30000257
Price: $2.00

A Floridian pecan pie recipe from a postcard. Yummy. Unused card, Grade: 1

Code: 30000258
Price: $1.00
Best Wishes (lilacs)
Embossed card, mailed in 1910 with stamp and clear postmark (and message, too). Good of kind. Grade: 1

Code: 30000259
Price: $1.00
A Gift of Love
Hard to say if this was mailed or not … part of a stamp is there, but no postmark. Embossed old card. Grade: 5

Code: 30000260
Price: $0.50
Best wishes (flower basket) (USA)
Embossed, and mailed in 1910 with stamp and postmark. Grade: 1

Girl with flowers
Mailed from Newark, NJ, in 1907 with stamp, a Newark postmark, and parts of two others from another town. The card has been heavily treasured over the years and shows some handling. Grade: 3

Code: 30000262
Price: $1.00
Mr. Taylor (Canada)
We’re not fond of stocking message cards like this, but once in awhile it’s OK. A potential customer was inquiring after stamps and coins. We have excised the city from our scan just in case Mr. Taylor is still there and doesn’t want his location all over the internet. Grade: 3

Code: 30000263
Price: $0.50
The Village Creek (USA)
What village? What creek? Unused Rotograph Co. card FD5511–that much, we do know. Grade: 2

Code: 30000264
Price: $0.50
I’ve been eating flaked corn husks
We’re certain there’s a credible back-story to this but we don’t know what it is. Unused old card, faded on the reverse from album marks. Grade: 2

Code: 30000265
Price: $1.00
Some Baby!
Unused, aged. Grade: 2

Code: 30000266

Code: 30000267
Price: $0.50
Hereby hangs a Tale (USA)
Another of these head-scratching legends (to us) on a card mailed in 1910 with stamp and partial postmark. It’s heavily aged and with a cute message between friends. Grade: 3

Code: 30000268
Price: $1.00
Hold on, my friend
Read the poem on the front, and if you weren’t sad when you started, you almost surely will be by the time you finish. Then you flip it over and see “Holiday Greetings from …” printed in the message section, unmailed but addressed to send to Cassie, who–with any luck–never received it. Grade: 4

Code: 30000269
Price: $1.00
Have landed.(USA)
Undivided back card, mailed in 1908 with stamp and postmark. As was the rule, the message got written on the front. Grade: 2

Code: 30000270
Price: $1.00
The Country Store (USA)
Parts of two postmarks on front and back let us think this undivided back card was mailed in 1906. The stamp is there, and even the writer 100 years ago found the scene to be old-fashioned. Grade: 2

Code: 30000271
Price: $1.00
Best Wishes From (Della) (USA)
We wish we could read the message clearly — you might have better luck. Mailed in 1910, with stamp and postmark. Grade: 2

Code: 30000272

Best Wishes (USA)
Embossed card, mailed in 1914 with stamp and partial postmark. Grade: 1

Florida Key Lime Pie
Sounds good enough to eat. Can it really be this easy? Unused card. Grade: 1

Code: 30000275
Price: $1.00
Two children (Norway)
We never have a good idea how to classify cards like this, but it was mailed from Norway in what may be 1914, or maybe 1923, with stamp and multiple postmarks. (How do you read “23 XII 14.12-2”?) Grade: 2

Code: 30000276
Price: $1.00
Bottles
If by some chance you were the artist (the unused card doesn’t tell us), let us know if we’ve got this right-side up, please. Grade: 1

Code: 30000277
Price: $1.00
Do It Yourself (set of 8) (Taiwan)
They aren’t joking. This set of eight cards is blank on one side, and barely printed on the reverse (see the right side of our scan). The left side of the scan shows you a guidance sheet abut how you can design your own postcards. Unused, of course. Grade: 1

Code: 30000278
Price: $2.00
St. Patrick’s Day Souvenir
It took us many years, but we finally (and randomly) ran across our first St. Patrick’s Day postcard. It’s old, embossed, and unused with abrasions around the edges — but not something you’ll find at your local bookseller’s, either. Grade: 3

Code: 30000279
Price: $3.00
St. Patrick’s Day Greetings – Erin Go Bragh
And then there were two — St. Patrick’s Day postcards, that is. So many years ago, someone pencilled on the back of this embossed, otherwise unused card: “Not many St. Patrick’s cards”. That’s for sure. Grade: 3

Code: 30000280
Price: $5.00
Sea view
The unused card was produced by a Department of Geography in Taiwan, and that is just about all you (or we) will ever know about the view. Grade: 1

Code: 30000281
Price: $0.50
Bay
The unused card was produced by a Department of Geography in Taiwan, and that is just about all you (or we) will ever know about the view. Grade: 1

Chili Rellenos
Unused card, from Arizona, of this yummy Mexican dish. We would like to open a “recipe postcard” category but don’t have quite enough of them. Grade: 1

Code: 30000288
Price: $1.00
Grodnerin
Forgive us while we tell you a short story. In all the years we’ve been searching Google, we have never come up with a complete blank. Until now. The caption on this unused card looks like this: GRöDNERIN, Bestand Ketzler. Neither of those two yields anything, and if you try, it might be that the only entry you see is ours. Not that it matters, but we have no idea what this card is all about. Grade: 1

Code: 30000289
Price: $1.00
