South Padre Island, shells (Texas, USA)
Though the caption on this unused card calls that location a “shellhunter’s delight,” we might not be so generous but then again all we have is this card for reference. It’s unused. The front is fine; the reverse is aging and somewhat foxed. Grade: 3
-
Beautiful Sea Shells (Texas, USA)
Unused older card, serrated edges and the bottom edge has an almost imperceptible nick in it. These shells are (were?) to be found along the Texas Gulf Coast. Grade: 3
-
Molluscs (set of 4) (Maximum Cards) (DPR Korea)
Set of four maximum cards from 2002. Captions on the reverses are in Korean. The scientific names are on the stamps. Grade: 1
-
Shells of Southwest Florida (USA)
The pictured shells may not be too special (an understatement) but this unused Dexter Press card G-17 (15 x 87571-C) with serrated edges had the good sense to identify them all in the caption on the reverse. That helps! Grade: 1
-
Gifts from the Gulf
Unused Plastichrome card P319190 originating in Texas. Grade: 1
-
Seashells (USA)
Because this is a divided back card, we’re left guessing why the design is what it is: suggesting space to write a message on the front. But the writer chose the back instead, and stamped it, but we also won’t know if it was mailed or not because there’s no postmark. And we can’t ask Rosa. Grade: 3
