Tramvajovy (Czech Republic)
An extensive caption, entirely in Czech, tells the type and history of this specific tram unit. The card, and the tram, come from Ostrava. Three different stamps, two 2014 postmarks, and blue Prioritaire sticker. This card is a nice “catch” for collectors of tram postcards. Grade: 1

-
Helsinki, HKL 233 (Adtranz/Transtech) 2002 (Finland)
There’s lots more in the caption on the back of the card … all in Finnish, and reasonably so. Mailed in 2013 with stamp, postmark, and blue Priority label. Grade: 1

-
London, County Hall and Westminster Bridge
Unused, aging, unattributed sepia card from long ago. Grade: 1
-
Trolley with happy rabbits (Russia)
Well, what might you call this scene? There’s no caption. This seems to be an internet card but we’ll let it through because it was mailed in 2014 with three stamps and large postmark and is in good condition. Grade: 1
-
Berlin, Strassenbahn
Though this card has no caption, the writer identified the location. Mailed from Germany in 2014, with stamp, trilingual Luftpost label, and very faint postmark. Very minor postal abrasion on the reverse. Grade: 2

-
Caracas, Simon Bolivar Centre, Caracas’ Heart (Venezuela)
Unused card whose reverse bears this caption at the bottom: “VENEZUELA – Freedom’s Cradle and Human Rights”. Grade: 1
-
A typical Hong Kong street scene
Judging from visual clues: the add-on tram car, the van’s number plate, and most of all, our own memory, we would place this photo in the early 1970s. But the card was mailed in 2015, with four different stamps (two commemorative), two philatelic postmarks, and blue trilingual airmail label. It’s really a nice item. Grade: 1
-

It is known as ‘Hiroden’ (広電) for short. The company’s rolling stock includes an eclectic range of trams manufactured from across Japan and Europe, earning it the nickname ‘The Moving Streetcar Museum’.” As a side note, San Francisco’s system has a similar reputation. Card mailed in 2016 with four stamps and two postmarks, and there’s a sort of map of the stops on the address side of the card. Grade: 1

-
Knoxville, I (heart) The 1982 World’s Fair (Tennessee, USA)
Totally different circumstances from the other Knoxville World’s Fair card we’ve listed (10143004), this one is also special because it’s 20-cent stamped, maximum-card style but on the reverse, with an Oct. 3, 1982 World’s Fair postmark. Otherwise unused. If you’re a collector of World’s Fair or cable car postcards, this one should qualify well for you. Grade: 1
