Near the back of the Nickel Tour is a list of cards (NT1148 thru NT1184) that the authors captioned with the following statement:
“More Miscellaneous Card – These cards are included for completeness, but for the most part are not pictured in the Nickel Tour.”
Now, there are quite a few of these cards listed…and some of them you see fairly frequently. Some of them though, you will see on a more “occasional” basis (perhaps like this NT1163 of the Disneyland Hotel shown here). And quite a few of them, you just don’t see…ever (at least not on eBay). When is the last time anyone has seen a copy of NT1174 for sale? Or, how about NT1159? Maybe these cards are more prevalent at postcard shows (like the Hal Lutsky Vintage Paper Fair I will be attending this weekend in San Francisco)…but otherwise they are just not findable online.
That said…you do occasionally stumble across these cards in the odd online auction. And on that note, here is your tip for the week!! Right now, on eBay, there is a copy of NT1160 up for sale. See if you can find it…it’s a little hard to spot, but it is there! It will be rather interesting to see where that sale ends up!
If you are planning on attending the Paper Fair this weekend in SF…let me know. I would love to meet up and say “Hello!”.
Until next time…
