Dallas Ft. Worth Regional Airport At Night
Unused card calling DFW “the nation’s largest airport,” and a trip to Google will leave you none the wiser. That might not be true now. Curteichcolor 7EK-188 (D.27). But who are we to know? Grade: 1

Here’s what we think may have happened, but don’t hold us to this: the structure was redeveloped and is now the site of Houston Methodist San Jacinto Hospital. This card was mailed in 1961, with 3-cent stamp and clear Baytown postmark. Grade: 2

Code: 10144146

South Padre Island Golf Course
Unused card. Grade: 1

Code: 10144157

Price: $1.00
Harlingen, Valley International Airport
Unused. Grade: 1

Code: 10144160
Price: $3.00
South Padre Island, shells
Though the caption on this unused card calls that location a “shellhunter’s delight,” we might not be so generous but then again all we have is this card for reference. It’s unused. The front is fine; the reverse is aging and somewhat foxed. Grade: 3

Code: 10144161
Price: $1.00
Corpus Christi International Airport
They picked an unusual day to take this photo, for reasons we can explain directly to you if you’re curious or can’t figure it out for yourself. It’s an unused card, serrated edges. Grade: 1

Code: 10144162
Price: $3.00
Beautiful Sea Shells
Unused older card, serrated edges and the bottom edge has an almost imperceptible nick in it. These shells are (were?) to be found along the Texas Gulf Coast. Grade: 3

Code: 10144163
Price: $1.00
Texas Oil Well Aflame!
We couldn’t describe it any better than that. Unused and significantly aging Plastichrome card P1296. Grade: 2

Code: 10144164
Price: $2.00
I Luv the Rio Grande Valley
An unused card for many categories with a caption as florid as the produce it describes. Grade: 1

Code: 10144165
Price: $4.00
Austin, Insane Asylum
Yes, there was a time when hospitals (and postcards) could be called that. Google will tell you what came next. As for the card — and you can barely make this out in the scan — it’s “unused” but covered in raised dots similar to Braille writing. We very much doubt these were on the card at the beginning but do not know how they got there or if they represent anything. So, Grade: 5

Code: 10144166
Price: $9.00
Oil Well Explosion in West Texas
From a town called Royalty in October, 1939, with stamp and postmark … a card explaining that “Instead of a gusher — Fire!”, and one of the more breathless captions on the reverse that we’ve ever seen. Grade: 1

Code: 10144167
Price: $4.00
Houston, The Galleria
At least we believe this unused card shows the Galleria in Houston, and not somewhere else, because Houston has a Galleria and this card was published there. It also helps that the Google search for Houston shows similar pictures! Grade: 1

Code: 10144168
Price: $3.00
El Paso, “The International City”
Mailed in 1984 with a 28-cent Olympics stamp, airmail sticker, and San Francisco postmark. The card’s caption has become ironic: “…where you never need a passport for pleasure.” Well, now you might. Grade: 1

Code: 10144169T
Price: $2.00
