NT1108 – The Upjohn Factory

So the other day I was looking through the Nickel Tour and came across this card.  I thought to myself, “I have seen a gazillion of the other Upjohn cards, how come I never see this one?  Is it rare, or what?”

Well, the answer was pretty simple.  Take a close look at the card.  There is no mention of Disneyland on this card.  So, whenever someone wants to put this on eBay they don’t mention Disneyland unless they happen to have a specific knowledge of the Nickel Tour and the sister cards that relate to this one.

So, why is this card in the Nickel Tour, anyway?  Well, along with the other Upjohn cards, it must have been available at the park as a free giveaway.  The other cards are all Disneyland specific, and show pictures of the pharmacy on Main Street.  But this factory photo was just that…a factory photo….that is, not something at Disneyland.

So…mystery solved.  If you want to find this card on eBay, just type in “Upjohn building” or something like that in the eBay search and you will find it.  I paid something like $3 for this card…which is probably more than I should have paid…there were several auctions to choose from.

Until next time…

About Todd

Hello. I have been collecting Disneyland postcards and paper items for a few years now and figured I would start to share my collection with any and all who are interested. I actually started blogging on Blogger (sundrycollectibles.blogspot.net) but after a while realized I wanted a dedicated Disney site since it is a fairly niche hobby. Enjoy!

      I’ll keep my eye out for that one. Truble is so few people show the back of the card in their listings. Let me know if you find it though…
