Bern; das Theater (Switzerland)
Mailed in 1912 with stamp, full clear postmark, and a message in some of the smallest handwriting we’ve ever seen. And we’ve seen a lot. Grade: 2

Code: 38900210
Price: $5.00
I (heart) Macau
Unused card still in its original cellowrap. We want to make it clear that the “Macau” sticker on the upper right is part of the wrapper, not a stamp, and not on the postcard. Grade: 1

Code: 38900211
Price: $4.00
Hong Kong
An understated ad card for the photographer Andre Eichman, mailed with three different stamps and faint postmark. To make one thing clear, the stamp and postmark you see in the scan are part of the design of the card and not an actual attached stamp. What’s on the reverse is real, of course. Grade: 1

Code: 38900212
Price: $2.00
Cane hauling tram at Glenoma, Brinsmead (Australia)
Unused contemporary 4″ x 8-1/4″ card issued by Cairns Museum, of a scene from the 1920s. Grade: 1

Code: 38900213
Price: $4.00
Melbourne trams
Gratefully, the caption on the back of this unused card identifies what you see: Exhibition Building, Federation Square, trams, Queen Victoria Market, Eureka Tower, and Melbourne Museum. Grade: 1

Code: 38900214
Price: $2.00
Multiple views, Adelaide (South Australia)
This is the Glenelg Tram. Unused card. Grade: 1

Code: 38900215
Price: $2.00
Glenelg, Australia
Unused card showing the Holdfast Shores Marina, a tram, and the HMS Buffalo Restaurant. Grade: 1

Code: 38900216
Price: $2.00
Horse-drawn tram, Victor Harbor (Australia)
Unused card, whose caption on the back explains a lot — in tiny print. Grade: 1

Code: 38900217
Price: $3.00
Glenelg Tram, Adelaide (Australia)
Unused. Grade: 1

Code: 38900218
Price: $2.00
Krakow (Cracow), Tram No. 15 (Poland)
The tram is on its way to Cichy Kącik (as the caption says) and the card was mailed from Germany with a meter label. Grade: 3

Code: 38900219
Price: $2.00
San Francisco Chinatown, and Cable Car (3D)
This unused 3D (lenticular printing, no motion effect) Tri-D card SFT-4 has a number inked into the postage area. Grade: 3

Code: 38900220
Price: $3.00
View from Old Sofia (Bulgaria)
Unused card. Grade: 1

Code: 38900221
Price: $2.00
Streetcars (New Orleans, USA)
From the “Did you know?” series, a card mailed in 2020 with five different stamps (three of them postmarked), an extra postal sticker, and pasted address and index labels. Grade: 4

Code: 38900222
Price: $1.00
Cable Car, San Francisco (California)
Just imagine living in that house. Unused card. Grade: 1

Code: 38900223
Price: $1.00
Dutch Wonderland, Lancaster (Pennsylvania, USA)
This very-kid-friendly amusement park opened in 1963, and the card was mailed in 1979 with two stamps and a heavy postmark. One might deduce from this that the Gift Shop is the park’s prime attraction, but we know there’s more to it than that. (And, you’re right, we are never quite certain which is the best category for monorails.) Grade: 1

Code: 38900224
Price: $2.00
Greetings from New Orleans! (Louisiana, USA)
Unused B&W card. Grade: 1

Code: 38900225
Price: $1.00
Canal Street and Streetcars, New Orleans (Louisiana, USA)
Old B&W photo on a much later card, unused. Grade: 1

Code: 38900226
Price: $1.00
Berliner Verkehrsmittel – Strassenbahn (Serie 8) (Germany)
Quite a bit more technical description in the caption of this postcard, not postally used but with a message covering the reverse. Grade: 4

Code: 38900227
Price: $1.00
Panama Canal, Electric Mule towing ocean liner through Gatun Locks
You don’t actually see the ocean liner, and you don’t see the stamp either (because it’s gone), but if it’s any consolation, the 1940 postmark is still there. Postmark ink transfer on the front. Grade: 4

Code: 38900228
Price: $2.00
Tram (Latvia)
It was so tempting not to list this card at all. The first reason would have been the Lithuanian (not Latvian) barcode sticker on the front — but it adds character. The next reason was that the card was mailed from Lithuania (stamp and Pirmenybine label are there, and postmark) with the sender pointing out that “I think this photo was taken in Latvia because in Lithuania we don’t have trams.” That makes sense, and so we went ahead and listed the card anyway. But as Latvia, and not Lithuania! Grade: 3

Code: 38900229
Price: $3.00
Moscow Tram (Russia)
That’s the caption, in Russian and English, on this card mailed in 2021 with two stamps and large postmark, and also a bilingual Par Avion label. Grade: 1

Code: 38900230
Price: $4.00
Liege, Place St. Lambert (Belgium)
Unused real-photo card (“Veritable Photographie”) with small stain along upper front edge, and small stains and a tape remnant on the reverse. Grade: 3

Code: 38900231
Price: $4.00
Funivia Orona – Lago Mucrone (Italy)
Unused real-photo, serrated edges. Grade: 1

Code: 38900232
Price: $4.00
Funivia Orona – Lago Mucrone – Stazione Superiore e Monte Mucrone (Italy)
Unused, real-photo postcard with serrated edges, aged but clean. Grade: 1

Code: 38900233
Price: $4.00
Street scene of Wanchai 045 (Hong Kong)
This is unused Tourists Cards #045, measuring 5-1/2″ x 7″. The same photo appears on other postcards with various designs, so someone got a lot of mileage out of it. The scene itself has been transformed beyond recognition, but trams still run through there. Grade: 1

Code: 38900234
Price: $4.00
Des Voeux Road, Central (Hong Kong)
Unused, mid-century cards like this condition can be so hard to find. Des Voeux Road is still one of two east-west traffic arteries through Central District and now has modernized beyond recognition. Grade: 1

Code: 38900235T
Price: $16.00
Welcome to Hong Kong
Unused mid-century card showing Kowloon district, the Peak Tram (some generations ago), and normal trams running along King’s Road in North Point. Grade: 1

Code: 38900236T
Price: $16.00
Hakone Ropeway (Japan)
This unused card is from roughly the 1970s. Grade: 1

Code: 38900237T
Price: $3.00
The Views of Front Osaka Station (Japan)
Unused old card of a post-war, bygone time. There’s a long caption in Japanese on the reverse. Grade: 1

Mailed in 1988 with two stamps and postmark. Grade: 1

Code: 38900239T
Price: $5.00
Erie Canal derailment (New York, USA)
This unused card dated 1979 from William Gordon reproduces a photo from 1917 of a trolley derailment. The caption is a bit muddled in text but we get the point. Grade: 1

Code: 38900240
Price: $1.00
Peak Tram Tower towards Victoria Harbour (Hong Kong)
Perhaps, but you’re actually seeing an earlier generation of the tram and not the tower itself. Unused Tourists Cards 085, measures 5-1/2″ x 7″. Grade: 1

Code: 38900241
Price: $3.00
Romania
The talented (very) young artist is Octavian, and his family helped him produce this colourful scene. It’s an unused card. Grade: 1

Code: 38900242
Price: $1.00
Seilbahn Elbsee-Zugspitzgipfel mit Elbsee (Germany)
Wikipedia tell us that “The Zugspitze, at 2,962 m above sea level, is the highest peak of the Wetterstein Mountains and the highest mountain in Germany. It lies south of the town of Garmisch-Partenkirchen in Bavaria, and the Austria–Germany border is on its western summit.” That’s clear enough, but we’re not sure of the perspective on this unused card — unused, that is, apart from a large rubber-stamped commemorative “chop” highlighting some mountain venue. Grade: 1

Code: 38900243
Price: $4.00
Caracas, Teleferico and Hotel Humboldt (Venezuela)
The Teleférico de Caracas is a gondola lift that ascends El Ávila Mountain within El Ávila National Park. As for the hotel, at least it seems the building is still there but Google is not going to help you much about its current status. The word that comes to mind is “confusing”. Unused card with rounded corners. Grade: 1

Code: 38900244
Price: $4.00
Lisboa, multiple views (Portugal)
Unused. Grade: 1

Code: 38900245
Price: $2.00
Lisbon, Baixa, Rua Augusta (Portugal)
Baixa is Lisbon’s historic heart and commercial center, with neoclassical architecture and built after the 1755 earthquake. Unused card. Grade: 1

Code: 38900246
Price: $2.00
Des Voeux Road, Central District (Hong Kong)
Probably a late ’50s or early ’60s view on a card mailed from Singapore (not Hong Kong!) with a Singapore stamp but no postmark. The caption devotes itself to reclaimed land. Grade: 4

Code: 38900247T
Price: $6.00
San Francisco, Cable Car above Lombard Street (California)
Same photo as our entry 10105069, but this was from a different printing as it has its own reference number E-185. Can’t see exactly when it was mailed because the postmark is over a gigantic dark blue USPS Air Mail sticker; 50-cent stamp, if that helps. Grade: 1

Code: 38900248T
Price: $1.00
Ngong Ping 360 (set of 4) (Hong Kong)
A set of four different cards, unopened in its original cello-wrap with sales sticker and pricing intact. Our scan shows one of the four cards, all drawings and variations on that theme. Unused. Grade: 1

Code: 38900249
Price: $12.00
