Midnite (Bangkok)
Unused 1990s card of the notorious Soi Cowboy is in as-new condition, showing Bangkok’s nightlife in its heyday. Do you know what a katoey is? Neither do we. And no, the present day is not Bangkok’s heyday. Grade: 1

Keep your tips up (Australia)
No telling when this unused card from Gympie, Queensland, was made, except that it probably wasn’t the early 1900s. Never mailed, it has a message written on the reverse but no stamp or address. A bit of aging, and serrated edges. But who cares about serrated edges? Grade: 4

Code: 31500013
Price: $3.00
Darwin, Australia
The “Greetings from Darwin” part of this unused card from the 1990s is by far not the focus of the card. There’s a cute caption in the space where the stamp would go. Grade: 1

Price: $5.50
I heart California
Three of these 1980s-era V. Rouse HSC 533-DTCA cards are available, all unmailed, all aging just a bit on reverse, but then who isn’t? We were also wondering if cardiologists have cards like “I heart hearts.” (Sorry!)Grades: 1

Code: 31500015
Price: $3.00

This wholly international card’s concept and photo originated in San Francisco in 1997. The card itself was produced in Germany.

100% Paras
In this case, the sender provided the translation: “100% the Best … When you’re good, you’re really good. But when you’re naughty, you’re really awesome.” We doubt Google can improve on that, so we won’t look 🙂 Mailed with Aurora borealis stamp, mostly illegible postmark, and Priority label. Grade: 1

Code: 31500030
Price: $2.00

Code: 31500032
Price: $4.00

Bless Google Translate, which renders this as “Come let you smooch.” We never said “Sexy” would be reserved for one species only. Mailed in 2012, two stamps, postmark, trilingual Priority label, and some postal abrasion on the reverse. Grade: 3

Code: 31500033
Price: $2.00
