Fess Parker (USA)
Fess Parker uniquely portrayed both Daniel Boone and Davy Crockett in the earlier days of American TV. As they say, you need to be “of a certain age” now to remember that. Sigh. Grade: 1

Code: 31200058
Price: $1.00
Fess Parker, in tub (USA)
We guess Fess is not sitting in a vat of freshly squeezed wine grapes. This was in his role as Davy Crockett. If you buy this card, don’t send it to Thailand. Unused. Grade: 1

Code: 31200059
Price: $1.00
Ronald Reagan as candidate (USA)
Unused 5″ x 7″ official card issued by the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library, with the speech (not the card) dating from July 1984. The original price sticker is still on the postage area on the reverse. Two of these cards are available. Grades: 2

Code: 31200061
Price: $3.00
Nancy Reagan
Published for the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library in Simi Valley, California, this unused 5″ x 7″ card of Mrs. Reagan speaking in 1987 has an original price sticker in the postage area. Inflation. Grade: 1

Code: 31200063
Price: $3.00
Saint Bernadette (France)
Unused card commemorating the 150th anniversary of the birth of St. Bernadette, from 1994. What you see in the scan is an actual stamp, and then the appropriate Nevers postmark. The reverse is unwritten now, but had a notation that has been erased. Grade: 2

Code: 31200067
Price: $12.00
James Dean
Unused card from Ludlow Sales. Grade: 1

Code: 31200068
Price: $2.00
Grand Duchess Anna Leopoldovna (Russia)
The biographical caption in English on the reverse doesn’t say where the painting is located. The card has three stamps and a large, full postmark. Lower left corner has a bit of postal bumping. Grade: 2

Code: 31200069
Price: $2.00
Manuel Neuer (Germany)
This 4-1/2″ x 6-7/8″ card is handmade, sent from Germany in 2010 with two stamps. Grade: 4

Code: 31200070
Price: $3.00
Edna May
At the time, a world-famous actress, now memorialized on this Davidson Brothers (London) vintage postcard, “Real Photographic” Series 2277, mailed in Bridlington in 1907 with stamp and postmark. Of interest, on the reverse, is the printed admonition that “This space may now be used for communication to all countries except United States, Spain, & Japan.” Grade: 1

Code: 31200071
Price: $13.00
Charles Lindbergh
First Day of Issue, unused card commemorating the 50th anniversary in 1977 of this aviation pioneer’s Solo Transatlantic Flight in 1927. The matching stamp has a special, fully clear postmark from Lindbergh Station, Brookfield, Illinois. There are printed captions but no human writing on either side. Grade: 1

Code: 31200072
Price: $9.00
Unknown
We would like to say these are Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid but in truth we have no idea. One suspects they were not often dressed in coat and tie, though. If we had an “ancestry postcards” theme category, who knows, these might be your relatives. Or not. Unused. Grade: 4

Code: 31200073
Price: $1.00
Uncle Tom
Definitely a candidate for a new “Old South” category, if we decide to open one. Unused C.T. American Art card A-31680, aging. Grade: 3

Code: 31200074
Price: $7.00
Father Junipero Serra (California)
Unused card dated 2003 from the El Camino Real series of missions. Grade: 1

Code: 31200075

The card is from San Francisco, and was mailed from The Netherlands in 2011 with stamp and full postmark. Grade: 1

Code: 31200077
Price: $3.00

Kuan Yin (Hong Kong) (not a postcard)

Simplistically called the Buddhist Goddess of Mercy and Compassion, this deity appears in many Asian religions under different names. However because we obtained these items at the Man Mo Taoist temple in Hong Kong, we list them here. First, they are not postcards, but rather 5-1/8″ x 8-1/4″ glossy single-sheet tracts fully preprinted in Chinese on the reverse. If you’d like to read what that says, we can scan that for you. By their nature, they are unused. Four are available. Grades: 1

Code: 31200078

Price: $4.00

The (Papal) Mass at Pontcanna Fields, 1982 (Pope John Paul II)
The pope in question is John Paul II and this unused postcard was No. 56 in a series of 60 cards from Sovereign Series No. 6 by Prescott Pickup & Co., Ltd. Grade: 2

Code: 31200079
Price: $3.00
Pope Julius II
Pope Julius II died in 1513 so this card came out a few years after he departed, but the postcard (Stengel & Co., #29828) is quite old, is unused, has rounded corners, and four large fingerprints on the reverse. Grade: 4

Code: 31200080
Price: $6.00
Pope Paul VI
Giovanni Battista Cardinal Montini, Pope Paul VI, on this unused Yankee Colour Corp. card B-16. Grade: 2

Code: 31200081
Price: $4.00
Pope Paul VI
Heavily aged item, postcard-sized but with only attribution (C. Harrison Conroy Co.) on the reverse. It could certainly have been used as a postcard, so we list it as one. Grade: 3

Code: 31200082
Price: $5.00
Pope Paul VI, in wax
Unused Plastichrome card P58189. We want to point out that the card seems to be very slightly mis-registered on both the front and the reverse, with the printing going up further than it should. It is not a significant flaw. Grade: 2

Code: 31200083
Price: $3.00
Pope Paul VI
Pope Paul VI on this unused card, clearly dated. Grade: 2

Code: 31200084
Price: $7.00
Astronaut James H. Newman
Mailed in 2011 with a 98-cent stamp and Huntsville, Alabama postmark. Grade: 2

Code: 31200085
Price: $1.00
William Desmond
The description of Mr. Desmond appearing in a website called things-and-other-stuff dot com bears quoting: “William Desmond – He-man hero of many a silent, he now plays anything that comes along–when it does. Alternates between stage and screen. (Kept showing up in anything that came along until just prior to his death in 1949, age 70.)” Unused, heavily aged old card. Grade: 2

Code: 31200087
Price: $5.00
Irish Writers (UNESCO)
Ireland’s Literary Heritage, 12 of the most famous, with Dublin recognised by UNESCO as a City of Literature–at the time of writing the caption, one of only four in the world. Unused Hinde card. Grade: 1

Code: 31200088
Price: $5.00
Roy Rogers – Dale Evans Museum, Victorville (California)
Unused card captioned “Saturday Morning T.V. Anywhere, U.S.A.” Yes, we can attest to that. Grade: 1

Code: 31200089
Price: $3.00
Russian famous rulers
The card’s designer did choose some famous ones, all right. Mailed in 2012 with three different (and large) stamps that take one-third of the reverse, this card has two full Tyumen postmarks also. Grade: 1

Code: 31200090
Price: $4.00
Tori Spelling, American Express
Unused card. Grade: 1

Code: 31200091
Price: $0.50
Tom Breneman and Uncle Corny
Unused card from U.S. radio history. The caption reads: “Listen to Tom Breneman’s Breakfast in Hollywood Monday through Friday Over the American Broadcaasting Company”. The card is dated 1945. Alas, Breneman died in 1948. Grade: 2

Code: 31200092
Price: $4.00
Lee Ann Meriwether
Real photo unused card of Miss America 1955. Grade: 1

Code: 31200093
Price: $3.00
John Bunny
Wikipedia describes John Bunny as “one of the top stars of early silent film … (t)hough quickly forgotten.” Bunny died in 1915, and the unused Kraus card dates from around that time. Grade: 3

Code: 31200094
Price: $3.00
David Warfield
Mailed in 1905, with stamp and two different postmarks. Grade: 1

Code: 31200095
Price: $2.00
Burr Tillstrom (arcade card)
Though the size and shape of a postcard, this is an arcade (publicity) card with no printing on the reverse. Burr Tillstrom was a puppeteer and created an early USA television show, Kukla, Fran and Ollie. When we were little, we loved that show … Grade: 1

Code: 31200096
Price: $3.00
Elvis Presley (arcade card)
Judging from his appearance on this B&W arcade card (unused, nothing on the reverse), it may date from the mid-to-late 1950s. Can’t be certain. Grade: 1

Code: 31200097
Price: $9.00
Clare Hume Meier (USA)
Mailed in 1968 with 5-cent stamp and postmark. Ms Meier was playing Mary the Mother in the Black Hills Passion Play in Florida. Grade: 2

Code: 31200098
Price: $0.50
Chiang Kai-shek and wife (Taiwan)
Unused, contemporary card with an old photograph. The reverse of this item is heavily captioned (only in Chinese) and though it can easily be used as a postcard, one would need to write around the many printed elements on it. Grade: 1

Code: 31200099
Price: $3.00
Famous Lesbians
Unused card. Grade: 1

Code: 31200100
Price: $3.00
Early 20th-century family (USA)
Though we have not categorized this unused card as “Art,” that is what it really is. Typical of self-commissioned views of that era, can you imagine the moments just before and just after the photo was taken? Album indents on the corners, but otherwise OK. Grade: 2

Code: 31200101
Price: $8.00
Lawrence Herkimer, Mr. Cheerleader (USA)
“Herkie” was known as the father of modern cheerleading–according to the caption on this card with rounded corners, mailed from USA in 2012 with two stamps and not-quite-legible postmark. Some postal abrasions along the left edge, and postmark ink transfer on the front. Grade: 4

Code: 31200102
Price: $1.00
Hosli & Ricardo (Switzerland)
These are musicians, and this is an ad card–for them, not for the beer. Mailed from Switzerland in 2012 with three different stamps and postmark. Grade: 1

Code: 31200103
Price: $1.00
