Nice card, which both the writer and the postmark identify Bamberg as a member of the UNESCO World heritage list. One stamp, full postmark, Bilingual Luftpost sticker, and one small other one that we are tempted to peel off, but that would be cheating. Grade: 4

Very nice card, mailed from Tokyo with two different stamps, a clear normal postmark, and another larger, red, and equally clear special one. Trilingual blue airmail sticker affixed. In the title we say “sic” because this location seems usually to be spelled “Shirakawa”. Anyway, Grade: 1

Old city (PR China)
This is a wonderful photo on a creased card mailed from Shenzhen to Hong Kong (by Air Mail!) with two stamps and postmark in 2014.
