Albuquerque, Santa Fe Mission Depot
Unused vintage postcard, and the caption doesn’t hint at all that this is a railway depot. Grade: 2
-
Raton Tunnel
Unused Fred Harvey “Phostint” card 12986, very minor small stains on the reverse and with a caption that occupies nearly all of the message area. Grade: 2
-
Carlsbad Caverns National Park, King’s Palace
Unused Curteichcolor card 5C-K1313, aging and with faint stains on the reverse. Grade: 3
-

Unused Petley card 109977. Grade: 1
-
Greetings from New Mexico, Cotton Field and Florida Mountains
This unusual combination of scenic elements appears on unused Curteichcolor card 6DK-1923. If U.S. Highway 70-80 is still there, you can see for yourself, near Deming. Grade: 1
-
Cloudcroft, The Lodge Golf Course
The caption of this unused, somewhat foxed Dexter Press card 71115 says “This course, world’s highest (9,200 ft.) is cooled with mountain breezes…” and no doubt it is, but Google tells us the title has shifted somewhere else, maybe La Paz in Bolivia or Kupup in East Sikkim. Or another? Grade: 2
-
A Mexican Home
Unused, older Fred Harvey card 7A-H2922. Grade: 1
-
Acoma and the Enchanted Mesa
Unused Curteich-Chicago linen postcard 8A-H5 (#149), whose caption tells us this “has been continuously occupied longer than any other Indian Pueblo in America.” Aging but clean. Grade: 1
-
Church Rock, East of Gallup
Unused, aging Petley card S13912. Grade: 1
-
Santa Fe, night view
Mailed in 2016, with three stamps and postmark. Grade: 1
-
Albuquerque, Indian Sanatorium
One thing this Curteich-Chicago linen card A-18 accidentally illustrates is the number of ways to spell “Sanatorium”. If you don’t believe us, check your search engine! Mailed from Tucson with two stamps and indistinct postmark. Grade: 2
-
Ruidoso Downs
Among the many New Mexico postcards of Native American lore, here’s something more contemporary–well, slightly more–of “America’s fastest growing track”. Mailed in 1981, with 12-cent stamp and postmark. Petley card 58133-C, with serrated edges. Grade: 1
-
I Luv Red River
Mailed in 1986 with a 14-cent stamp and obscured postmark. Grade: 1
-
Harvest Time at Santa Clara Indian Pueblo
Unused, colourful, linen, Curteich-Chicago “C.T. Art-Colortone” card 5A-H2528. Below the caption, added as a rubber-stamp chop, is the legend “U.S.O., Gallup, New Mexico”, indicating that the card was made available through this servicemen’s organisation. We will not downgrade the card because of that. Grade: 1
-
Albuquerque, Indian Sanatorium
Brilliant card mailed in 1941 with stamp and postmark, unfortunately defaced by two holes punched through it (including through the stamp). So, space filler only, for collectors of sanitorium postcards. Grade: 5
-
Whites City, The Tame Wildcat
The condition of this unmailed real-photo card is so good, it almost looks like a reproduction. But due to the design on the reverse, along with an imprinted index number, we think it’s the “real thing,” no pun intended. Grade: 2
