Los Angeles, L.A. County Coroner
Technically, these are “Post-Cal” and not postcards, though they can be mailed. Here’s the story: you do a treasure hunt all through Los Angeles until you find the L.A. County Coroner, a complex including a massive old building that has a quirky and quite engaging gift shop in one corner of the ground floor. They sell these, which are peel-off stickers but which have a place for a stamp as any postcard would. The message area is pre-printed. You won’t find them at the neighborhood drugstore. Unused, and just waiting for you. Grades: 1

Code: 10105277
Price: $8.00
A Chinese Fortune Teller
This is a well-known card about which you can find quite a bit through search engines. Briefly, it seems set in San Francisco immediately after the 1906 earthquake and fire. Note the damage on the sidewalk. The two red characters mean “Test” and “Life” (i.e., predicting what your life will be) and the three black characters may be a star in the Big Dipper. Too obscure for us, but the Edw. H. Mitchell card 1449 is unused and in age-appropriate condition. Grade: 2

Code: 10105278
Price: $19.00
San Francisco, Old Chinatown
Spectacular old, unused Pacific Novelty card S.F. 122. Grade: 1

Parade of the Tongs, Chinatown
Aunt Sadye chose this card to mail to Master Chas. in 1911, with stamp and postmark fully intact, and a cute message we would not be likely to see these days. This is Edw. H. Mitchell card 1648, edge abrasions indeed, but an important addition to anyone’s “Chinatown” collection. Grade: 2

Code: 10105280
Price: $19.00
