Anaheim Disneyland, Adventure thru Inner Space (Monsanto)
Please read this description carefully. Two of these unused items are available.

Los Angeles, Cafe Bristol
Unused card, printed upside-down (reverse orientation), and the restaurant modestly describes itself as the “Finest restaurant on the Pacific Coast.” We weren’t there; we can’t judge. There is a significant crease diagonally through the upper left (front) corner. Grade: 3

Code: 10105505

Greetings from Disneyland
This is one of the very unusual cards that fits into many of our theme categories, so you might see the same card several times. (Sorry about that!) But what a nice card, mailed in 1972 with 6-cent stamp and Anaheim postmark. We would like to repeat the caption in its entirety: “Guests entering Disneyland are greeted by a floral Mickey Mouse and the Santa Fe and Disneyland Depot where a scaled-down model of a passenger train of another era puffs out of the station to take them on a scenic tour of Disneyland.” Official card. Grade: 2

Code: 10105507
Price: $8.00
The Long Beach Public Transportation Co.
We find this unused card to be odd for a couple of reasons. First, unless it was deliberately made to look like this, the colours are bleak even for Long Beach. Second, the extensive caption refers to this company owning the “largest fleet of London double deck buses in the USA” but then says two were transported to Long Beach on the Queen Mary and now (meaning: then) used for tours. There must have been more than two, to qualify as the “largest fleet”? We don’t know … Grade: 1
