Sebastian, From a good Gulf station
Called “Gulf Fun Cards,” these are among postcard collecting’s little hidden gems. You’re on holiday, you stop to fill up the tank, you pick up one of these cards marked with the name of the gas station, and you follow the instructions on the back: “Save time and effort, just check the things you’re enjoying, and mail.” Alas, somehow, nobody mailed this unused card. Grade: 3

Code: 10110181
Price: $5.00
Key West, Choir Practice at Hemingway House
A 2011 card, mailed with three stamps (fittingly, one of which is of a tiger), and pointing out that many of the cats at this famous author’s former home have six toes. Who knew? Grade: 1

Price: $3.00

Code: 10110187

St. Petersburg, Wolfie’s Restaurant and Fountain
We decided to spend some Google time with this, and finally gave up. It looks a lot like this restaurant was part of a famous Florida chain, went out of business, came back again, and then closed down again. Correct us if we are wrong–we would like to know. The Florida Business Registry still lists it. Card was mailed in 1955 with stamp and full postmark, and a message that really makes us want to know how it all turned out. Grade: 2

Code: 10110188
Price: $5.00

Code: 10110191
Price: $2.00
Hello from Florida (fold-out folder)
Flora and fauna only–no buildings, no people. Unused Plastichrome item P90645. Grade: 1

Code: 10110192
Price: $4.00
The Florida Keys
This 5″ x 7″ card was mailed from the USA in 2012 and has an (uncancelled) $1.05 stamp, though there is USPS postal barcoding below. Very minor postal creasing. Grade: 4

Wow! We alligators do have fun in Florida!

Code: 10110197
Price: $4.00
Florida Beauty
The caption on this card, mailed in 1972 with an 8-cent stamp and full postmark, reads “Quick — got a pin?” We hope they meant for the bulletin board. The card is very heavily aged. Grade: 4

Code: 10110198
Price: $2.00
I’m suntanning in Florida
Mailed in 1972, very heavily aged, with extra notation on the front. Stamp and postmark are there, but it looks like the card itself was left outside to get its own suntan. Grade: 5

Code: 10110199
Price: $1.00
Fort Pierce, Tropic-Aire Motel
A Google search suggests the property is no longer there, but this unused card lives on. Grade: 2

Code: 10110200
Price: $3.00
Lake City, American Inn
Yet another old-style motel that might not be there now … all we can find are other cards that have made their way into the Postcard Universe. This one is unused but stained on front and back. Grade: 5
