Dallas, JFK assassination scene
The world is divided into two types of people: those who remember where they were when this happened, and everyone else. We do. Card is unused, but very heavily smudged on reverse. The front also has minor abrasions, but it’s still very clear. Plastichrome #10P73664. Serrated edges. Grade: 4

Code: 10144001
Price: $6.00
Wichita Falls, The Falls
The writer of this card, mailed in 1990 from Dallas with two 25-cent stamps, somewhat laconically said “This is about it for sightseeing in Wichita Falls.” We’ve never been there. Grade: 2

Code: 10144002
Price: $2.00
Dallas, skyline
Card mailed from Dallas in 1990, with legible postmark and two 25-cent stamps. Just a bit of postal battering. Grade: 2

Code: 10144003
Price: $1.00
San Antonio, Riverwalk
If you went to Singapore, you could see a view like this too. Singapore and San Antonio–who knew? This card was fully written and addressed for mailing in 1984 but was not stamped and probably hand-delivered later. Grade: 4

Code: 10144004
Price: $1.00
San Antonio, The Alamo
In 1993, this card went from this famous shrine directly to Malaysia, with full postmark and two 29-cent stamps. The USPS barcoding imprint is faintly on the front. Grade: 3

Code: 10144006

Greetings from the Texas Gulf Coast
Mailed in 1987, with a 14-cent stamp and full postmark on both sides. In this case only, we won’t call that a flaw, though of course it is. Grade: 2

Code: 10144009
Price: $3.50
Did you know Texas
The front of this mailed card (three “Forever” stamps) is fine, and the reverse has a readable Houston postmark, but the address section was severely abraded when it went through someone’s machine. USPS barcoding on bottom reverse. Grade: 5

Price: $0.50
Howdy from Texas

The West Begins in Texas
Here’s a linen card that was mailed in Amarillo in 1945, with postmark and just the remnants of a stamp. There are tape marks. Particularly if you’re from Texas, this card would be perfect for framing. Grade: 4

Fredericksburg, Balanced Rock
If we were just entering postcards one after another, and never paying attention, we would have missed this Wikipedia entry (in the rich and interesting Fredericksburg section) about Balanced Rock: “It fell prey to vandals who dynamited it off its base in April 1986.” Nothing is sacred. Nothing. Unused DACO card 48559. Grade: 1

Code: 10144024
Price: $4.00
Hi from Llano, Texas
This unused View-Gram card C-17677 fits into several categories. Though we might not have used “Hi” on a card that commemorates death and destruction, we shouldn’t judge. Grade: 1

Price: $4.00
