Code: 10111002
Price: $4.50
Atlanta, state capitol
We hand it to the Plastichrome people. This unused card from the 1960s (P30618) has some unusual trivia in the caption on the reverse. Modest aging, but still very nice card. Grade: 1

Code: 10111003
Price: $3.00

Code: 10111005
Price: $1.00
Flue-cured tobacco
Unused, from 1960s, though as long as tobacco grows, it will look like this. Grade: 2

Code: 10111006
Price: $1.00
Atlanta, airport entrance
No name for the terminal, only “Atlanta’s jet-age airport” according to the caption on this unused card P43445 from the 1960s. No people? Not now! Grade: 1

Code: 10111007
Price: $3.00

A little period piece for you. Unused Atlanta News Agency / Dexter press card 6265-C from the 1960s. Grade: 1

Code: 10111008
Price: $2.00
Flint River, covered bridge
This unused Columbus Photo Service card 2158 is from the 1960s and sadly reports that the bridge had been replaced by “a new cement structure.” No doubt the new cement structure was a vast safety improvement and an historical step backwards. Grade: 1

Code: 10111009
Price: $4.00
Atlanta, aerial view
You might have noticed we like to suggest different aerial views, over time, as an interesting specialization for collecting. Here’s a great one (unused) of Atlanta in the 1960s. Atlanta News Agency / Dexter Press card 6262-C shows Grady Hospital in the foreground. Grade: 1

Code: 10111010
Price: $3.00
Stone Mountain
This 1960s-era unused Atlanta News Agency card P30620 is in as-new condition and would be unremarkable except that lines in the printed caption were transposed and nobody caught that during the proofreading. Grade: 1

Code: 10111011
Price: $2.00
Atlanta, 1996 Olympics, opening ceremonies
Larger (6-3/4″ x 4-5/8″) card mailed from Atlanta in 1996 with 50-cent stamp and mostly readable postmark. Normal postal bumps, nothing major. Grade: 2

Code: 10111012
Price: $7.00
Atlanta, Peachtree Center
This card was mailed in the mid-1980s (we know that) but there was no postmark, and the 33-cent Verville airmail stamp was not cancelled. We know it was mailed because there is the faint pink postal service imprinting on the front. Grade: 4

Code: 10111013
Price: $1.00
Douglasville, West Broad Street
Issued by the Douglasville Welcome Center, this view of West Broad Street circa 1940s-1950s is–according to the writer–still current today. Though this looks like a reproduction, it’s just the way the card was made, and then mailed in 2010. Grade: 2

Code: 10111014
Price: $2.00
Atlanta, Atlanta University
Unused card, some creasing and staining. Grade: 3

Code: 10111015
Price: $1.00
Clayton, Estatoah Falls
Unused H.S. Crocker Mirro-Krome card KR-37, picturesquely describing the source of these falls as “a rocky, grim-faced mountainside.” Just the thing to bring in the tourists. Grade: 2

Code: 10111016
Price: $2.00
Waycross, water lilies and iris
Unused Color-King card S-48842-1 explains that the 700-square-mile Okefenokee Swamp Park is decorated with these flowers at certain times of the year. Grade: 2

Code: 10111017
Price: $1.00
Tempesta Falls
Unused H.S. Crocker card KR-T-2 tells you all you might want to know about these Falls and the Tallulah River that once caused them to form. The caption muddies the waters, so to speak, about the status of that area at that time. Grade: 2

Code: 10111018
Price: $2.00
Savannah, Bonaventure Cemetery
Unused Plastichrome card P54141 of this “beautiful and historic cemetery, once the home of the Tattnalls.” One hopes they were alive at the time. Grade: 1

Code: 10111019
Price: $1.00

Greetings from Atlanta, Did You Know?

Code: 10111023
Price: $2.00
Rock City Gardens, Lookout Mountain
Except for the artwork, this unused linen card 8A-H1037 from Curteich-Chicago seems deliberately to avoid saying “Georgia” or “Tennessee” as the exact location, and as we’ve never been there, we are thinking Georgis is correct. If not, please let us know. Grade: 1

Code: 10111024
Price: $3.00
Holiday Inns of Greater Atlanta
For your collection of Holiday Inn postcards, this unused item. Grade: 2

Code: 10111025

Code: 10111027
Price: $4.00
Atlanta, Mark Inn
We think this property is still there, though frankly Google does not make it easy to find out. We have better things to do! Four of these long (3-1/2″ x 8-1/4″) cards are available, unused, different grades. All are beginning to age. Two are Grade 3 ($2), one is Grade 2 ($3), and the other is Grade 1 ($4).

Code: 10111028
Price: $4.00
Jesup, Holiday Inn
We don’t know the exact date of this unused card, but it promotes “Free T.V.” and “Free Teletype Reservations,” so it does go back a bit. Grade: 1

Code: 10111029
Price: $2.00
St. Simons Island Lighthouse
Linen Curteich-Chicago card mailed in 1961 with stamp and postmark to the Oregon State Highway Department, asking for a map of “your state and other surrounding states.” We wonder what journey this card made to wind up with us? Among lighthouse “firsts,” “The first Government lighthousewas built on this spot in 1808,” though not this particular structure. A little postmark ink transfer on the front. Grade: 2

Code: 10111030
Price: $4.00
Savannah Beach, Tybee Island Lighthouse
Unused Dexter Press card 30952-B of a lighthouse near the entrance to the South Channel of the Savannah River. Grade: 1

Code: 10111035
Price: $0.50
St. Simons Island, Lighthouse and Glynn County Casino
Not just those, but a swimming pool, bowling alleys, and a skating rink also there–even if the postcard gives no hint of those apart from the caption. Unused Dexter Press 75093. Grade: 1

Code: 10111036
Price: $3.00
