Unused Dexter Press card 43430-B from the 1960s. Grade: 2

Code: 10148001
Price: $1.00
Mt. St. Helens
With the information on the card, we did our best to research this through Google, with no success. If you don’t know the story of Mt. St. Helens and what happened in 1980, you might want to check. This is an unused Robbins-Tillquist card #1619 (and #24288 for the Northern Pacific Railway Co.) and apparently not a common card at all. Grade: 2

Code: 10148004
Price: $16.00

Over the years, Union Oil Company of California issued a series of cards (“See the West with 76 Gasoline”) depicting western U.S.A. landmarks. This unused card is one of those, from 1939. It’s special because it shows the dam under construction. Grade: 1

Code: 10148026

Tumwater, Pabst Brewing Company
All right. The front of this unused card 8304 clearly shows “Olympia Brewing Company,” while the reverse caption discusses “Pabst Brewing Company.” Olympia was acquired by Pabst in 1983, but this still looks strange. Grade: 1

Code: 10148034
Price: $2.00
