Code: 35000943
Price: $2.00

Everything’s great about this card except that it was mailed in 1978 from England. Stamp and partial postmark. Grade: 4

Code: 35000944
Price: $1.00

Liberty Square, Town Hall, Archdiocese Cathedral (Minsk, Belarus)
Mailed from Minsk in 2020, with a large “M” stamp and postmark. The card has a sizable horizontal strip attached to the back, deliberately covering some printed text, and while it looks as if this strip was on the card when it was first sold, we can’t be certain. That’s the only reason the grade is so low. Grade: 4

Code: 35000950
Price: $1.00
St. Mary’s Church, New Haven (Connecticut, USA)
A very old card, not postally used but with a name written into the address area. Grade: 3

Code: 35000951
Price: $3.00
Maximum Cards of Taiwan Relics Postage Stamps (Issue of 2020) (set of 4) (Taiwan)
First, despite what’s written on the cardboard cover for this set, these are not maximum cards. They have no stamps and no postmarks. But they are unused, and show Gongziliao Fort, the Railway Division of Taiwan Governor General’s Bureau of Transportation, Dalongdong Baoan Temple, and Tainan District Court Building. Chunghwa Post is strange this way. We once went into one of its philatelic branches and saw a similar set of “maximum” cards without stamps. When we pointed this out to the clerk, she said — in effect — oh yes, that’s how we do it, and took out some stamps and a postmark chop so she could do it on the spot. (But not all Taiwanese maximum cards are managed this way.) Grade: 1

Code: 35000952
Price: $9.00
Munich – 1972 Olympics, Cathedral, St. Mary’s Square, City Hall (Germany)
Mailed from Munich in 1972 with stamp and clear postmark. An excellent postcard representative of this troubled Olympics. Grade: 1

Price: $3.00
Christ Episcopal Church, Dover (Delaware, USA)

Price: $3.00
Postcards from Romania by Eugen Mihai (set of 10)
The ten glossy, unused cards in this set produced by Romanian military photographer Eugen Mihai are all shown on its paper cover. Each postcard has a complete and informative bilingual (English/Romanian) caption and represents one or another of a variety of scenes around the country — including a fortress, IAR 99 Standard military jet trainers, TR-85 M1 battle tank, Bucharest’s Palace of Parliament, Castelui Peles (Sinaia), the training ship “Mircea”, night view from Bucharest’s North Railway Station, Horezu Monastery, The Gate of the Kiss, and Hunyadi Castle. This great set came to us via our friend Tatiana, and — given the special circumstances of the cards’ production — if you read this and want to order directly from Mr. Mihai, we’ll tell you how to do that. Or, of course, this set from us. Grade: 1

Code: 35000962
Price: $12.00
Columbia Bible College (South Carolina, USA)
Curteich-Chicago linen card 3C-H592, mailed in 1952 with stamp and postmark and a long, effusive message. As for the school, it’s now Columbia International University, about which an (edited) Wikipedia entry says: “CIU began in 1923 when it was founded as Columbia Bible School. The original purpose was to provide a two-year course of study in biblical studies for local mill workers. By 1927, the decision was made to convert the school into a college and begin offering bachelor’s degrees in Bible. The college was relocated in 1960 to its present facility on Monticello Road. During this period, the institution also changed its name to Columbia Bible College and Seminary. The name was changed yet again in 1994 to Columbia International University.” (We don’t do this for every school!) Grade: 1

Price: $2.00
Ciofliceni, Snagov – Mănăstirea Carmelitană (Romania)

Boston, Christ Church (Old North) (Massachusetts, USA)
More or less all you need to know about Paul Revere’s role in America’s Revolutionary War on both sides of this unused United Art Co. card 34085. There is a minor stain at the lower left front tip. Grade: 2

Code: 35000972

Unused, old, Kashower card 1073. It was either produced in this vivid orange hue or it has become this way with age. Grade: 3

Code: 35000975
Price: $2.00
Wee Kirk of the Heather, Glendale (California)
Now part of Forest Lawn Memorial Park, and dedicated in 1929, this church (often called Wee Kirk o’ the Heather) was inspired by another in Scotland. The unused card, aging and faded, describes “modern brides married here,” while we just wonder why someone wants to get married in a cemetery. Grade: 1

Code: 35000976
Price: $2.00
San Antonio, Mission San Francisco de la Espada (Texas, USA)
Established in 1731. This unmailed Mike Roberts card C4983 has initials written into the postage area. Grade: 3

Code: 35000977
Price: $1.00
Salt Lake City, Temple Square (Utah, USA)
Unused Mike Roberts card C743, from early 1960s or before, describing the “spired ‘Mormon’ Temple which required forty years of pioneer labor to build, and the domed Tabernacle”. They were offering free guided tours. Still true? Grade: 1

Code: 35000978
Price: $2.00
Salt Lake City, Brigham Young Monument (Utah, USA)
Unused Mike Roberts card C13336, describing Brigham Young as “a leading figure in the forming of the West”. Grade: 1

Code: 35000979

Salt Lake City, Mormon Tabernacle (Utah, USA)
In this unused and very old postcard we have two “…est” examples in the reverse caption: “one of the largest structures for religious worship in the World,” and “one of the finest pipe organs in existence”. Not being certain of the current status, we’ll just advise you to notice the significant remnant of tape along the card’s left edge. Note too that these older cards didn’t worry about putting “Mormon” in quotation marks. Grade: 3

Code: 35000980
Price: $2.00
The Mormon Temple, Salt Lake City (Utah, USA)
Unused, ancient E.C. Kropp postcard 16613, with a crease in the far upper right corner. Grade: 2

Code: 35000981
Price: $3.00
Salt Lake City, Mormon Temple (Utah, USA)
What distinguishes this unused Mike Roberts/Wesco Color Card C-20 is not so much the subject or even the (good) condition, but a small wartime logo in the lower left reverse, part of the card, showing warplanes and the legend “Keep em Flying” … at least we think that’s what it says, and it helps date the card as somewhere between 1942 and 1945. Grade: 1

Code: 35000982
Price: $3.00
Jamestown, church and graveyard (Virginia, USA)
The caption on this unused card 1A2341 published by The Association for the Preservation of Virginia Antiquities, in Richmond, packs a lot of information about this scene into a small space. Grade: 1

Code: 35000983
Price: $3.00
The Fourth Presbyterian Church, Chicago (Illinois, USA)
Unused Curteich-Chicago card 7B-H382 (or 392, it’s blurry). Grade: 1

Code: 35000984

St. Louis Cathedral, mosaic detail (Missouri, USA)
Unused Dexter Press postcard 37542-C, with a florid caption and significant aging. Grade: 2

Code: 35000986
Price: $0.50
The New Cathedral of St. Louis (Missouri, USA)
An unused, aging, Dexter Press card 37545-C, one of our “…est” cards, whose caption claims the cathedral has the world’s largest collection of mosaics, adorning “65,000 square-feet of walls and domes in the foremost example of Byzantine architecture in the Western Hemisphere”. Construction started in 1907 and finished in 1965, according to that same caption — which helps date the card. Long after this card was printed, Wikipedia reported that “currently, the world’s largest mosaic museum is the Zeugma Mosaic Museum in Gaziantep (Turkey), which holds mosaics covering an area of 2,462 square meters.” Time and tide wait for no postcard. Grade: 2

Code: 35000987
Price: $2.00
Erin, Holy Hill (Wisconsin, USA)
Here’s an unused L.L. Cook card 18860, dated 1956, that manages two “…est” claims in the short caption: “U.S. most favorite place of Pilgrimage,” and “Highest located church in the State of Wisconsin”. Grade: 1

Code: 35000988
Price: $1.00
Milwaukee, Wisconsin Avenue (USA)
An unused L.L. Cook card (3DK-907) (116Z), beginning to age on the back but clearly showing the Science Building of Marquette University and Gesu Church. Grade: 1
