Booger Hollow
Google is coy about whether the tourist attraction part of Booger Hollow is or isn’t the same as an actual town. Regardless, the postcard (with “I’m” crossed out and replaced by “We”) is what it is, and unmailed. Grade: 5

Ft. Smith, Wildcat Mountain Sanatorium
From a Fort Smith online source: “In the latter part of the 1930s, the Wildcat Mountain Sanatorium was established as an adjunct to the Arkansas Tuberculosis Sanatorium in Booneville. The first patients arrived on March 26, 1937, and the facility soon reached capacity … The sanatorium closed on Dec. 1, 1958.” Unused “local” linen card 15296. Grade: 1

Eureka Springs, Christ of the Ozarks
Unused Mike Roberts card C22030, whose caption calls this “one of the largest (statues) in the world”. That may have been true then, but according to our friends Google and Wikipedia, it barely registers now, at 65.5′ (20 meters) high, while the tallest at the moment is the Statue of Unity, in India, at 182 meters. This suggests how old the postcard might be, but we can help because Christ of the Ozarks went up in 1966. Grade: 1

Code: 10104055
Price: $1.00

Apparently there are all sorts of golf courses at Fairfield Bay … and the one pictured on this unused card is “7,047 yards of fantastic golfing”. And there’s a pro shop! Who would have guessed? Grade: 1
