Code: 10150066
Price: $1.00
Eau Claire, Univ. of Wisconsin
Two of these cards are available. They are the right size and shape to be postcards, but have no printing on the reverse at all. Our best information says these portray the University of Wisconsin campus. But feel free to disagree–and to tell us! Grades: 1

Madison, The Edgewater Hotel, Rigadoon Room
Being curious, we went to the search engines to see the current status of the hotel. It seems to have gone into liquidation and is closed for redevelopment until 2014. Some of its final online reviews were terrible, and the postcard is not so good, either: not postally used, but with a pencilled message on the back. Grade: 4
