Unused linen card 12 AT 467 — and who knew that South Sioux City had so many fine structures? Grade: 1

Code: 10128043
Price: $3.00
Omaha, Mormon Pioneer Cemetery
Actually, Winter Quarters Cemetery, a location where “More than 340 deaths occurred … from the fall of 1846 to the spring of 1848” but this unused card doesn’t tell us exactly why. Grade: 2

Code: 10128044
Price: $1.00

Code: 10128049
Price: $1.00
Omaha, Hanscom Park Lake
Noted by Wikipedia as “one of the oldest parks in Omaha” (!), and on the card itself as “Omaha’s oldest municipal park” (!!), the lake appears on this unused E.C. Kropp card that has itself been very heavily handled over the years. Grade: 3

Code: 10128050
Price: $1.00
Omaha, The American Legion Building
Unused linen Tichnor card 85132, aging significantly. At the time, the caption called this “The World’s Largest Legion Post” but Google will show you other posts that subsequently claimed that title. Grade: 1

Code: 10128051
Price: $2.00
Scotts Bluff National Monument, Jail and Courthouse Rocks
Unused Dexter Press card 67824-B, onto which someone has pencilled a 1965 date on the reverse. Grade: 3

Code: 10128052
Price: $1.00
(Now) Minden, Harold Warp Pioneer Village, Original Pony Express Station
Unused Dexter Press card 13228-B. The card only places this attraction “132 Miles West of Lincoln”, so we looked it up. Grade: 1

Code: 10128053
Price: $1.00
Lincoln, State Capitol
Unused Plastichrome card P18084, showing “one of the most beautiful government buildings in the world”. Grade: 1

Code: 10128054
Price: $1.00
Agate Fossil Beds National Monument
Unused Mike Roberts card C28580, whose caption we could hardly paraphrase, so we will just let you read it: “Daimonelix, Devil’s Corkscrews … These two weathered stone corkscrews are actually the fossilized contents (casts) of burrows made by the rodent PALEOCASTOR.” Digging deeper (sorry!), Wikipedia tells us: “Palaeocastor is an extinct genus of beavers that lived in the North American Badlands during the late Oligocene period to early Miocene. Palaeocastor was much smaller than modern beavers.” That’s enough. Grade: 1

Code: 10128055
Price: $2.00
Omaha, Union Pacific R.R. Bridge
What you see here began to be upgraded in 1916 (we think) but the mailed card’s postmark is not fully readable. So the bridge in this view has been replaced. The stamp is there, and the writer used this card to try to coax another person to swap. Hope she was successful! Some foxing and staining on the reverse. Grade: 3

Code: 10128056
Price: $4.00
North Platte, Greetings from Fort Cody Trading Post
This massive souvenir shop is still there, thriving, and gets a slew of positive reviews. Its own site says: “Fort Cody Trading Post has been a landmark on the Nebraska prairie since 1963! Visitors that came as children are now bringing their own kids or grand kids to savor that sweet touch of ‘Roadside Americana’ that is so quickly disappearing in the U.S.A. A stop at Fort Cody is to many a step back into a more simple and gentle time. To others, it is a brand new adventure to explore and enjoy!” (If we were there, we would buy postcards for sure.) As for this card, it’s Plastichrome P52917, older — but at least after 1963 — and unused. Grade: 1

Code: 10128057
Price: $3.00
Greetings from North Platte
Unused card SK7610, the kind we’d like to be surprised by, from “The Home of Buffalo Bill”. Grade: 1

Code: 10128058
Price: $3.00
