Card has minimal markings and corner/edge wear, and appears in great condition for its age. -- Postcard comes from the collection of the elderly couple that lived next door to my grandparents. When that couple moved to a small apartment in their later years, they needed to downsize their various collections and gifted my grandparents their large postcard collection, with cards starting around 1900 and continuing for decades. Some cards are most likely ones they collected themselves (unposted, no writing), along with cards they received from friends who traveled extensively around the U.S. and the globe (handwritten notes, usually posted). -- We do not have the knowledge to grade any of our postcards -- please use your own collecting expertise along with our description and careful review/magnification of all pictures to best judge the card's condition. -- Card will be sealed in plastic and then wrapped for shipment using eBay's Standard Envelope shipping method for postcards.
