Larabanga Mosque (Damongo, Ghana)
B&W unused WAC 106 card from mid-1960s, though it’s a timeless scene. Some aging on reverse. We have to say that Ghana is a far more colourful country than these cards suggest. Grade: 1

Code: 35000107
Price: $4.50
Dome of the Rock (Jerusalem)
Card dates from 1993 though of course it could have been much earlier. A letter completely fills the reverse and the card was later mailed in an envelope so there was no stamp. Front has barely significant edge and corner abrasions. Grade: 4

Code: 35000126
Price: $6.00

St. Nikolas, Santorin (Greece)
Very hard to know the exact age of this B&W card. It was mailed and has two stamps, with almost-legible postmark, a caption that either reads “1999” or “1939,” and reference to Joakimides Thira. It has been pinned to a bulletin board several times at top but the holes are well hidden on front. Serrated edges. Grade: 4

Code: 35000136
Price: $4.00

Vintage B&W card, heavily aged, small pencilled notation on reverse–but unmailed. Edge and corner abrasions. Grade: 4

Code: 35000137
Price: $3.50
St. Peter’s (Rome)
Yes, we know this is in Vatican City but the card (mailed in 1909 from one Iowa resident to another, with a one-cent USA stamp) attributes St. Peter’s to Rome. So we will, too. The pencilled message has all but faded away but it’s still readable. The card’s caption calls this a “magnificent pile of architecture”! Grade: 3

Code: 35000140
Price: $14.00
Estrela Basilica (Lisbon)
Card was mailed in 1981 and has a very nice stamp of a dog, and a fully legible postmark–only that they are on opposite corners of the card. Aged reverse. Grade: 3

Code: 35000144
Price: $3.50
Cordova, Great Mosque (Spain)
Technically these two cards could be listed under “Malaysia” because they were issued in 1990 in conjunction with a World of Islamic Civilization Expo in Kuala Lumpur. They were also mailed in Malaysia, in 1990 and 1991, each with one Malaysian stamp. They have a perforated left edge because they were issued with a detachable stub. Grades: 3

Code: 35000147
Price: $2.50
