Cowboy Butchering Texas Jack Rabbit
We thoroughly dislike everything about this unused E.C. Kropp card 8326, and very much wish someone would buy it. Grade: 1

Code: 10144084
Price: $2.00
Texas Longhorn
No, not the football player. The card was mailed with a $1.05 stamp, but the stamp was not cancelled, so … you can do the math. Grade: 4

Code: 10144085
Price: $1.00
Bolivar Lighthouse
Unused Curteichcolor card 9DK-268, of this 117′ lighthouse built in 1872. Grade: 1

Code: 10144086
Price: $4.00
Port Isabel Lighthouse State Park
Unused Dexter Press card 14395-C (and FW-649) of this inactive lighthouse dating from 1852. It was “discarded from use” in 1905 and somehow is still there. Grade: 1

Code: 10144087
Price: $4.00
Austin, State Capitol
Five different stamps but also multiple abrasions, sticker, and drawings on the reverse. Grade: 5

Code: 10144088
Price: $0.50
Port Isabel, lighthouse
Unused Dexter Press card 3935B (DB-574) of an inactive lighthouse built in 1852 and “permanently discarded from use in 1905”. Of 16 lighthouses originally built along the Texas Gulf Coast, this is now the only one open to the public. Grade: 1

Code: 10144089
Price: $4.00
Laguna Madre, Fishing at Sunset
The best thing to be said about this Dexter Press card is that it’s unused. Grade: 5

Code: 10144090
Price: $0.50
Texas, The Lone Star State
Mailed in 2012, this card has a $1.05 stamp, and partly readable postmark–and an abrasion on upper front. Grade: 3

Code: 10144091
Price: $1.00
San Antonio, Fiesta Plaza
If you live in San Antonio, you are more up on this than we are. Our modest effort at research through Wikipedia became murky. The H.S. Crocker card is unused and undated. Wikipedia says that Bill Miller, of Bill Miller Bar-B-Q, bought Fiesta Plaza (“a failed mall”) in 1992 and planned to donate it to the University of Texas, so now it is the Downtown Campus of UTSA. But the card seems newer than this (we’re not sure!) and there’s no mention of a University. Anyway … Grade: 1

Code: 10144092
Price: $3.00
Texarkana State Line
Unusually, here’s a card we can list in two different states. Unused — and the building holds the U.S. Post Office and Court House. Grade: 1

Code: 10144093
Price: $3.00
Howdy from Dallas Texas
Unused Curteich-Chicago “C.T. Art-Colortone” linen large letter card 2B-H828 (D7). Fading and one stain on the front; the reverse is otherwise clean but heavily and unevenly browned from age and from having been in an album. Grade: 4

Code: 10144094
Price: $3.00
Greetings from Texas
Linen large letter card mailed in 1939. Most of the postmark is there, but the stamp is gone. Grade: 4

Code: 10144095
Price: $1.00
El Capitan, Highest Peak in Texas
Unused Tichnor Quality Views linen card 64238 (99) showing Guadelupe and Signal Peaks, 9600′ elevation. Grade: 1

Code: 10144096
Price: $2.00
El Paso, Pioneer Plaza
Pioneer Plaza (Little Plaza) looking toward San Jacinto Plaza, on unused but mottled E.C. Kropp card 3907 (2315). Grade: 3

Code: 10144097
Price: $3.00
Cadillac Ranch
One of the most local cards you’ll ever find. This one measures 4-3/4″ x 6-7/8″ and might have come out of a set. It might also appeal to you Route 66 postcard fans out there. The caption explains everything about this outdoor art installation. Mailed from Houston in 2013 with Global Forever stamp and two overlapping but readable postmarks. Grade: 2

Code: 10144098
Price: $3.00
Stonewall, Birthplace of LBJ (Lyndon Baines Johnson)
Unused Curteichcolor card 5DK-412, with minor staining on the back. Grade: 3

Code: 10144099
Price: $1.00
Just Another Pretty Face
Mailed in 2013 with uncancelled Global Forever stamp (hint!), abrasions on both sides. Grade: 4

Code: 10144101
Price: $0.50
San Antonio, Mission Conception
The Mission dates from 1713, the card from somewhat later. Unused, but significantly smudged on the reverse. Grade: 3

Code: 10144102
Price: $1.00
Canadian, Riverside Courts
Mailed in 1953 with two one-cent stamps and readable postmark. Small smudge in address area. Grade: 3

Code: 10144103
Price: $3.00
Dallas, Home Interiors & Gifts, Inc.
Mailed in 1971 with 6-cent stamp and postmark. Yes, that blurring is how the card is. Grade: 1

Code: 10144105
Price: $0.50
I (heart) TX
Unused card, clever variation on the “I (heart)” theme, but on the back it’s conventional. Grade: 1

Code: 10144106
Price: $2.00
Progreso Border Crossing
Unused. Grade: 1

Code: 10144107
Price: $3.00
Fort Sam Houston Station Hospital
Special for several reasons: (1) old and in good condition; (2) fully readable 1943 postmark; and (3) deliberately sent without a stamp because the sender was in the military. If you collect hospital postcards, you should want this. Grade: 1

Code: 10144108
Price: $4.00
Greetings from Port Lavaca, Tex., Colorful Autumn
If we suspected “generic,” might we be right? Unused card. Grade: 3

Code: 10144109
Price: $1.00
Fort Worth, Sheraton Fort Worth Hotel
Unused card from the hotel, but in awful condition. Grade: 5

Code: 10144110
Price: $0.50

Unused card. Grade: 1

Code: 10144112
Price: $2.00
Texarkana, Man in Texas, his ass in Arkansas
Unused Dexter Press card 56832-D with — finally — a clever caption on the back. Grade: 1

Code: 10144113
Price: $2.00
Houston, Astrodome
If you’re collecting Astrodome postcards and you don’t have this one yet, look closely: it’s all about President L.B. Johnson attending Opening Day on 9th April 1965. The card was mailed much later than that, in 2014, with a round “Global Forever” stamp. Grade: 1

Code: 10144114
Price: $6.00
Houston, The Astrodome
“The world’s first domed, air-conditioned sports stadium,” along with other facts in the caption of this unused card. Grade: 1

Code: 10144115
Price: $2.00
Dallas Business District at Night
Unused, local linen card 5403 (D43) with a crease through the lower right corner. Grade: 3

Code: 10144116K
Price: $2.00
San Antonio, San Antonio River
We checked: Casa Rio is still there and gets excellent reviews. Somehow this unused Mike Roberts card C1515 does not mention it in the caption, and it’s not an advertisement. (It should have been.) Grade: 1

Code: 10144117
Price: $1.00
Map, and multiple views
Unused E.C. Kropp card 20138. Grade: 1

Code: 10144118

Code: 10144120
Price: $1.00
Don’t Mess with Texas
The back of this unused card was designed to drive a postman crazy. Think of it as: don’t mess with Texas, but do what you want with the U.S.P.S. Grade: 1

Code: 10144123
Price: $1.00
Texas
Quite a lot going on in the photo on this unused card. Grade: 1

Code: 10144124
Price: $1.00
Map of Texas
Unused card. Did you know Texas was an independent nation for ten years (1836-1845)? There’s some sort of water stain or print damage on the lower reverse edge. Grade: 3

Code: 10144125
Price: $1.00
Johnson City, Entrance to ranch home of Lyndon Johnson
Unused, aging Western Fotocolor card ICS-100782-4 showing the entrance to the home of this U.S. President. Grade: 2

Code: 10144126
Price: $2.00
Houston, The Astrodome
Opened in 1965, the facility is still there and has been a puzzle for the city ever since the original tenants, a baseball team, moved out in 1999. The card has serrated edges, is significantly aging, and was mailed in the early 1970s with 8-cent stamp and partial postmark. Grade: 3

Code: 10144127
Price: $2.00
