Moscow, Arbatskaya Metro station

Dutch double-decker train
We sometimes observe in wonder that certain postcards survive being mailed at all, much less in good condition. This is one of those. It measures 5-1/2″ x 8-1/2″, has three different stamps and blue Priority label, and only the most minor postal bumping. Grade: 2

Porto…Gaia — Metro (Portugal)
The printed caption only reveals the name of Gaia, Porto’s suburb; but the writer of this card, mailed in 2012 with Paralympics stamp and postmark, kindly explained the scene in detail. Grade: 1.

Voksal – Railway Station
Another card, 3-5/8″ x 8-1/4″, whose exact identification eludes us, even to guessing if we have the right country. The sender mailed this from Minsk, Belarus, in 2012 and described it as “1985 postcard depicts the old railway station.” There’s no caption, but there are four different stamps and a full Minsk postmark that missed them all. Lots of postal creasing. Grade: 4
