Jackson statue, New Orleans
A card for all categories, making it valuable for us and valuable for you. Unused E.C. Kropp postcard no. 32594N, with the view in each letter identified on the reverse caption. In this case, the “S”. Grade: 1

Code: 31700176
Price: $7.00
Joao Paulo II statue (Timor-Leste)
Two of these are available, sourced from Dili’s Central Post Office. US$1 stamps (the currency of Timor-Leste) had already been placed by the post office staff, so we count these as a legitimate part of the cards. There is a tourism embossment on the front of the card. Unused. Grades: 1

Code: 31700177
Price: $12.00
Cristo Rei (Timor-Leste)
An impressively large statue of Christ, donated and installed by Indonesia during their occupation of East Timor, it is one of the “must-do” things for any visitor to Dili. A broad path of steps leads up past Stations of the Cross to a really magnificent viewpoint at the statue, for which you can get the idea clearly from this postcard. Three of these are available, sourced from Dili’s Central Post Office. US$1 stamps (the currency of Timor-Leste) had already been placed by the post office staff, so we count these as a legitimate part of the cards. There is a tourism embossment on the front of the card. Unused. Grades: 1

Code: 31700178
Price: $14.00
Roosevelt Monument at Grand Coulee Dam (Washington, USA)

Code: 31700179
Price: $1.00
Jakarta, Welcome statue in front of Grant (sic) Hyatt, a main hotel (Indonesia)
Two of these unused cards are available. You sort of need to know Jakarta in order to appreciate the caption, the statue, the fountain, and for that matter also the location. And of course they meant the “Grand Hyatt,” which really is a magnificent hotel. Grades: 1

Code: 31700180
Price: $4.00
Surabaya, statue of shark and crocodile (Indonesia)
Unused card. Grade: 1

Code: 31700181

Code: 31700182
Price: $3.00
Statue of Liberty (New York)
Considering how many Statue of Liberty cards are out there, and the condition of this one, only someone who has been searching for this specific one would probably want it. Grade: 5

Code: 31700183
Price: $0.50
“Miss Liberty” and Statue of Liberty (New York)
Unused Progressive Publications card, but with minor staining and a name pencilled on the reverse. Grade: 4

Code: 31700188
Price: $3.00
Chicago, Garfield Park, Amedea Monument
This is a puzzle for us. As part of our routine research on cards, we went to the search engines but after many dead-ends on this one, we gave up. Where is this now? What is its real name? Help! The card: B&W, Rotograph Co. D28050, unused, highly aged. Grade: 2

Code: 31700189
Price: $1.00
Ottawa, SODART, Louise Bourgeois sculpture MAMAN (Canada)
Everything about this is confusing, including the name of the museum, the location of the sculpture, and even which of this artist’s sculptures it is. As best as we can determine, this is outside the National Gallery of Canada (Ottawa) despite what the caption says. The card was mailed in 2012 with four different and very large Canadian stamps totalling C$1.84 in value, none of them cancelled. Grade: 4

Code: 31700190
Price: $3.00
Barcelona, Gaudi dragon (Spain)
Mailed in 2012 with stamp and part of the postmark. Our apologies for not doing all of the research about this; also, that it might be more of a sculpture than a statue. Grade: 2

Code: 31700191
Price: $2.00
William Penn, Philadelphia (Pennsylvania, USA)
“The highest structure in Philadelphia – 547′ 11-1/4″ ” with a statue of William Penn on the top. Card mailed with 5-cent atamp and indistinct postmark. Grade: 2

Price: $1.00

Code: 31700193
Price: $6.00
Konstanz am Bodensee (Germany)
There’s quite a long (and old) story connected with this statue, but she’s Imperia, a prostitute. For details, there’s always Wikipedia! The card was mailed from Switzerland (not Germany) in 2012, with two different stamps, and postmark and A Priority label. Grade: 3

Code: 31700194
Price: $3.00
Mus. Vat. Roma, Laocoonte (Vatican)
More specifically, Laocoon and His Sons, a marble sculpture now in the Vatican museums, and undeniably very, very old–with Wikipedia suggesting dates from 160 BC to 20 BC, “making 42 to 20 the most likely.” This is an old, unused, sepia card. Grade: 1

Code: 31700195
Price: $4.00
Batu Caves, Statue of Murugan (Malaysia)
Unused 4-3/4″ x 6-3/4″ card showing this 42-meter statue and the Thaipusam festival as a backdrop. Grade: 1

Price: $1.00
Mormon Pioneer Cemetery, Omaha (Nebraska)
Actually, Winter Quarters Cemetery, a location where “More than 340 deaths occurred … from the fall of 1846 to the spring of 1848” but this unused card doesn’t tell us exactly why. Grade: 2

Code: 31700199
Price: $1.00
Havana, Maceo Monument (Cuba)
Card of this monument to Antonio Maceo was mailed in 1949 but no more stamp and no postmark, and ink abrasions on the front. Best if you’re just trying to bulk up your collection of Cuba postcards. Grade: 5

Large letter postcard, linen, with each of those attractions identified in the caption on the reveerse. Mailed in 1959 with three 1-cent stamps and postmark, from one collector to another. Postcards as a hobby go way back, right? Grade: 2

Code: 31700206
Price: $4.00
Gold-Gilded Bronze Statues (PR China) (Maximum Cards) (set of six)
If you are even remotely interested in such icons, these unused maximum cards should be hard to resist. It’s a set of six: two are pictured in our scan. All six are captioned in both Chinese and English, representing several dynasties: Guanyin Bodhisattva (Five Dynasties), Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva (Song Dynasty), Sakyamuni (Ming Dynasty), Amitayus Buddha (Ming), Samantabhadra (Ming), and Manjusri Bodhisattva (Ming). Eight sets are available. Grades: 1

Code: 31700207
Price: $18.00
Gold and Bronze Buddha Statues Stamp Collection (with postcards) (China)
The title for this item is not wrong, but slightly misleading for our purposes because the book has six postcards in it. It’s a book inside a cardboard cover (pictured here), overall measurements 8-3/8″ x 11-1/4″. Like many of the other items we have listed, this is a book of 16 page facings (inside covers plus seven pages) including stamp sheets, stamped envelope covers, and postcards in Maximum Card style except that none of these items have postmarks. See 31700208B for one of the pages with a postcard. Grade: 1

Price: $74.00
Monument to V.I. Lenin (Belarus)
This unused card is from the Soviet era (1975) but we are listing it under Belarus and not CCCP/USSR (apart from this “statues” category) because the focus of the caption is entirely on Belarus. Grade: 2

Code: 31700209
Price: $2.00
Bremen, Hansestadt (Germany)
This card was mailed in 2013 with two stamps, partial postmark, Priority label, and orange postal barcoding. The extensive caption is entirely in German and explains everything, but the writer kindly did that in English also. These are the town musicians of Bremen! Grade: 2

Code: 31700210
Price: $2.00
Zwolle (Netherlands)
Four different stamps and full Amsterdam postmark but that’s all the good we can say about this. Grade: 5

Code: 31700211

Code: 31700212
Price: $0.50
Halifax, Soldiers Monument, Province Buildings Square (Canada)
Vintage Valentine & Sons card, mailed in what might be 1910 but two overlapping postmarks make that hard to read. The stamp is still there. Grade: 3

Code: 31700213
Price: $5.00
Chinese Stone Statue (Maximum Cards) (Thailand) (set)
A set of four maximum cards, from September 1998 (Thai 2541), packaged as you see. We are showing two of the four cards, and all of them are “Chinese Stone Statues”. The slightly aging cards have bilingual Thai/English captions, are unused, and have small postmark ink transfer on the reverses from having been put on top of each other. We don’t consider this to be a defect. Three sets are available. Grades: 1
