Roma – Arco di Costantino e Colosseo
We like this card. Not only is the real-photo clear, it’s a different perspective on the Colosseum. The card is unused, though someone has pencilled this on the revrse: “Got this picture in Rome 1939”. That helps! Grade: 3

Shenzhen (PR China), multiple attractions (set of four)
Kindly get your coffee and relax because this description may take awhile. It’s a set of four unused cards, each measuring 4″ x 11-5/8″, so they are well oversized. The red paper wrap identifies this China Post product, from 2018, and our scan shows the front of one card (the other three are similar but with different places) and the reverse of another. All cards have pre-printed, coloured postage and a kind of “shadow” graphic further identifying most of what’s on the front. Clearly these cards fit many of our categories–in fact, they set the record–because Shenzhen is a city of about 15 million people and has everything, including major stadiums. So, if you have any questions about these Shenzhen postcards, please ask us. Grades: 1

Mississippi Gulf Coast Coliseum, Biloxi (USA)
A quick search tells us they’ve dropped “Gulf” from the name of this facility, and despite all that nature can throw at it, it’s still going. The unused Dexter Press card 50275-D (OS-704) has serrated edges. Grade: 1

Code: 35200393
Price: $2.00

Price: $4.00
El-Djem, Le Colisee (Tunisia)
The Amphitheatre of El Jem could seat 35,000 spectators. Only the Colosseum in Rome (seating about 50,000 spectators) and the ruined theater of Capua were larger. The amphitheater at El Djem was built by the Romans under proconsul Gordian, who was acclaimed emperor at Thysdrus around 238 A.D. and was mainly used for gladiator shows and small-scale chariot races. Until the 17th century, it remained more or less whole but from then on its stones were used for building the nearby village of El Djem and transported to the Great Mosque in Kairouan. Ruins of the amphitheater were declared a World Heritage Site in 1979. And this old, unused sepia card shows how things were more than 100 years ago. Grade: 2

Price: $8.00
Madison, University of Wisconsin, Camp Randall Stadium (USA)
The expansive caption on this unused 1959 L.L. Cook postcard 18843-B (177Z) tells you what you might want to know. Grade: 1

New Orleans, aerial view (Louisiana, USA)
The view on this unused card includes the famous Superdome, which came into its own during Hurricane Katrina. The card’s caption calls New Orleans “America’s most interesting city,” which reminds us of a (probably apocryphal) ancient Chinese curse that goes: “May you live in interesting times.” Grade: 1
