West Point, Panorama of Cadets’ Encampment (New York)

Chicago, Cook County Graduate School of Medicine
There’s a 4-cent stamp; the left part of the postmark says the card was sent in 1950 (that’s probably not right) and the right side of the postmark promotes a 1960 event. So somewhere there’s a minor error here, if you’re looking for that sort of thing. Grade: 2

Unused old postcard with a major water stain along the right reverse edge. Grade: 4

Historical Remains of Kaesong (set of 26) (DPR Korea)
If you’ve been wanting a set of DPRK cards, may as well go for a BIG set. These 26, in a loose coloured cover (bottom right of scan), are nearly unique in having western lettering along with Korean on the fronts of the cards. We show three of the 26 in the scan, though the captions are hard to make out. These are buildings, statues, natural features, a mausoleum, Jokjosa Soibucho, all sorts mof things, and at a cost much lower than most of our individual DPRK cards. The school in the batch is Sungyang Private School. Grades: 1
-
Welcome to Pyongyang (set of 10) (DPR Korea)
