Two Harbors, Three-Spot Locomotive
One would not expect a card of this size (6″ x 9″) to make it safely through international airmail, but this one did, with only minor corner bending and abrasions. Mailed in 1990, with stamp and postmark intact, it’s Dexter Press 56039 apparently dated 1961. And they call it “Giant Post Card.” Grade: 2

Code: 10124008

Hinckley, Tobies Restaurant
Tobies is billed as a “traveler’s tradition since 1948.” We have no reason not to believe them. Card was mailed with a 40-cent stamp in 1992, and has full Hinckley postmark. Some inconsequential creasing of lower right front corner. Grade: 2

Code: 10124009
Price: $4.00

Code: 10124020
Price: $2.00
Refrigerator magnet
The idea here is for the magnet to be removed from its shrink-wrapped seal, but it’s a legitimate postcard. Unused, and Grade: 1

Code: 10124021
Price: $5.00

Code: 10124027
Price: $2.00
Bemidji, Paul Bunyan in Winter
This unused card from 2008 is probably more typical than a summer view. We understand summer in Bemidji can be quite short. Grade: 1

Code: 10124028
Price: $2.00
Bemidji, Paul Bunyan and Babe, the Blue Ox
The counterpoint to winter view in 10124028, yes, the sky really is as blue as the ox. Unused card. Grade: 1

Code: 10124029
Price: $2.00
Duluth-Superior Hi Bridge
Honestly we do not know if we are looking towards Duluth (Minnesota) or Superior (Wisconsin) but the card tells us that this is a “Dramatic Nite View of the Hi Bridge Connecting” those two. Card was mailed in 1993 with two 29-cent tulip stamps and a full St. Paul postmark, and because the card was published in MN and not WI, we place it in MN. Grade: 2

Code: 10124030
Price: $2.00
Minneapolis, Lake Calhoun
This card, mailed in 1983 with a 28-cent Blanche Stuart Scott airmail stamp and full but partly obscured postmark, makes Lake Calhoun look just a little bit sterile. Well. Maybe in 1983, it was. Grade: 2

Code: 10124031
Price: $2.00
Lake Region, sunny day
Honest, the caption on the back says “Enjoying a sunny day in Minnesota Lake Region.” Based on this, we would not want to see a cloudy day. Card mailed in 1984 from St. Paul with two 20-cent 1984 Olympics stamps. Grade: 1

Code: 10124032
Price: $3.00
White Bear Lake, sailboats
Mailed in 1993 with a legible Minneapolis postmark and one heavily cancelled 28-cent Blanche Stuart Scott stamp, along with a postal service airmail sticker. Minor postmark smudging on the front. Grade: 3

St. Paul, Como Conservatory
From 1983, NMN card 99711-C with serrated edges, readable Minneapolis postmark, a 28-cent airmail stamp, an airmail sticker, and some postmark smudging on the front. That’s it. Grade: 3

A nice catch for a balloon card collector, at an uninflated price. Card was mailed in 1983 with an airmail sticker and one stamp but two heavy postmarks overlaying each other. Grade: 3

Code: 10124036
Price: $2.00
Minneapolis, Metrodome
Official name: Hubert H. Humphrey Metrodome Stadium. Interesting caption saying that this place was “inflated Oct. 2, 1981 and was open for the first Twins home game on April 3rd, 1982.” The card was mailed in 1983, with airmail sticker, one stamp–and just one postmark. A little postal corner scrunching. Grade: 2

Code: 10124037
Price: $2.00
Stillwater, Home of the Ponies
Caption says “Stillwater, Minnesota is ‘The Home of the Ponies.’ Also known as ‘Big Red,’ the senior high school is a constant newsmaker …” Card was mailed in 1983, with one 28-cent stamp and partial Minneapolis postmark and airmail sticker. Serrated edges. Grade: 1

Code: 10124038
Price: $2.00
East Grand Forks, American Beet Sugar
We know that American Beet Sugar opened this factory in 1926 but the name changed to American Crystal Sugar in 1934. So that helps date the card, which is unmailed but which has a travel agent’s rubber stamp on the reverse. This is Ira Gaulke News Agency card 118842-N. Grade: 4

Code: 10124039
Price: $4.00
Edina, Mall of America
The USA might be surprised to see other countries overtaking this mall in size, but no denying it’s an experience to visit. You don’t need to fly to Minnesota. You can get this unused card. Grade: 1

Code: 10124040
Price: $2.00
Hierarchy of fish
As the cliche goes, you don’t need to be from Minnesota to appreciate this, but it helps. Officially “The Minnesota Fisherman’s Hierarchy of Fish,” if you can spot the odd one out, you are officially in the club. Grade: 1

Code: 10124041
Price: $2.00
