Hollywood, Brown Derby Restaurant
The front of this unmailed card is in perfect condition. But it had been pasted into a scrapbook, and the reverse has a large glue circle in the middle with the remnants of the page it had been pasted onto. Grade: 4

Code: 10105212
Price: $2.00
Anaheim, Disneyland’s “Clock of the World” in Tomorrowland

Code: 10105213
Price: $5.00
Anaheim, Disneyland’s “Mad Hatter’s Tea Party”

Code: 10105214
Price: $5.00
Anaheim, Disneyland’s “TWA Rocket” in Tomorrowland
How ironic is it that many years after this card was issued, Disneyland survives but TWA does not? Sweet caption on the reverse: “As nations contemplate a trip to the moon …” Unused card. Grade: 1

Code: 10105215
Price: $9.00
Anaheim, Disneyland, Richfield Autopia (not a postcard)
Please note: this little (2.4″ x 3.9″) card with rounded edges is not a postcard, but instead issued to young children who “passed” their driving experience at Richfield Autopia in Disneyland’s early days. The reverse looks like an identification card and has a paragraph urging the child to “fill out this card for permanent identification and carry it with you. It entitles you to friendly, helpful service at more than 4,000 Richfield stations…” Unused. Grade: 1

Code: 10105216
Price: $5.00
Los Angeles, Cavalier Hotel
We can’t help but think the hotel might have let the photographer step away from the side of the car. Maybe they were in a hurry, who knows. Unused Dexter Press card 39848-C. Grade: 1

Code: 10105219
Price: $1.50
Chico High School
Mailed in 1957 with full Chico postmark and 2-cent stamp. You’ll notice some postmark ink smudging on the front, but if you’re an alumnus of Chico High that won’t matter. Grade: 2

Code: 10105220
Price: $2.00
Monterey, Harbor
Mailed in 1958 with full postmark (“Pray for Peace”) and two-cent stamp, this card has normal edge abrasions for having been handled quite a bit. Grade: 3

Code: 10105221
Price: $2.50
Palomar Observatory
With modest creasing and handling all over it, the card is still basically OK. Mailed in San Diego in 1954 with full postmark and 3-cent stamp. Grade: 2

Code: 10105222
Price: $3.00
Fontana, City Hall
Postmark on this mailed card (with 10-cent stamp) is not distinct but caption says the building was dedicated in 1961, so it was mailed after that. Grade: 2

Code: 10105223
Price: $1.50
San Bernardino Mountain range
Card was mailed in what looks like 1979, with a 15-cent stamp and most of the postmark. And it proves that yes, there is snow near Los Angeles. Significant abrasions on the front. Grade: 4

Code: 10105224
Price: $1.00
San Francisco, Fisherman’s Wharf
Two cards are available. For the mailed one, not only is the message written upside down, the year inside the postmark is upside down, and the card itself was mailed (with a 5-cent commemorative Nebraska Statehood stamp) from Hilo, Hawaii. All that notwithstanding, the card is in good shape (Grade: 1, $3). The other one is unused (Grade: 1, $3).

Code: 10105225
Price: $3.00
Bridgeport, Twin Lakes
Mailed in 1963 with a 4-cent stamp and full postmark. Grade: 1

Code: 10105226
Price: $1.50
Twentynine Palms
What a lot of personal history in this brilliant real photo card mailed with a 1-cent stamp and full postmark (Los Angeles) in 1946. It’s just one of those photos you can stare at for awhile and imagine yourself there. Well, maybe if you’re still in the Twilight Zone. Grade: 1

Code: 10105227
Price: $8.00
Long Beach, Queen Mary arrival
This unused “Official Queen Mary Souvenir” card from the late 1960s has serrated edges and would be a superb specimen were it not that someone cut a small notch out of the lower right front corner. It’s in the white border area only. But it reduces the condition to Grade: 5

Code: 10105228
Price: $1.00
Los Angeles 1984 Olympics, Anaheim Convention Center

Code: 10105233
Price: $1.00
Los Olivos, Fess Parker’s Wine Country Inn & Spa
We guess Fess is not sitting in a vat of freshly squeezed wine grapes. If you buy this card, don’t send it to Thailand. Unused. Grade: 1

Price: $1.00

Code: 10105245
Price: $2.00
Palos Verdes, Marineland of the Pacific, Zippy
By now this bottle-nosed porpoise has gone on to porpoise heaven, but he lives on in this card. Just for fun, check some of the other dolphin/porpoise cards from Florida and elsewhere. See any similarities? Unused, slightly aging H.S. Crocker card GW-268. Grade: 2

Code: 10105246
Price: $2.00

Code: 10105251

An Irrigating Canal in California
You can see from the scan, this card has seen better days. It wasn’t postally mailed, but there are addresses on the reverse. Think of it as a card with great character, needing love. Love the Canal. Grade: 5

Code: 10105252
Price: $7.00
Greetings from California
No, this wasn’t a typical residence then, and it’s not now, either. Greetings anyway! Unused card, Grade: 1

Code: 10105254
Price: $2.00
Sacramento, U.S. Post Office
If you buy this linen card, it’s for the front, not the reverse. Heavily aged, the card’s front is OK but the reverse was pasted in an album and the caption is partly obscured by where the glue was. Having said all that, how many cards of this post office are there? Grade: 5

Code: 10105255
Price: $3.00
