I posted this post on my old blog a few weeks back and got quite a bit of interest in it. \u00a0Not sure if it was the Dodgers mention, the Angels, or what exactly. \u00a0Either way, I love used cards…in some ways more than un-used…see below for more!<\/p>\n

One of the side benefits of collecting Disneyland post cards is that you can often get an interesting glimpse into someone’s vacation if the card you have has been used. \u00a0More often than not, people comment on the great weather in California and all the fun stuff there is to do. \u00a0But occasionally, you get the random comment about last nights meatloaf at Marge’s house, or the new baby that they saw at the relatives house.<\/p>\n

The card I feature today is (from a collectibility standpoint) totally unremarkable. \u00a0Monsanto had the\u00a0Hall of Chemistry<\/a>\u00a0at Disneyland, along with the\u00a0House of the Future<\/a>\u00a0and other exhibits in the early days of the park. \u00a0These post cards must have been free, because even today they are easily found and at any given time there are many of them available on eBay (usually overpriced).<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

But this particular card is interesting because of the reference to the Los Angeles Dodgers on the back. \u00a0The card is dated and post-marked October 9th, 1957. \u00a0The Dodgers played their last game at Brooklyn’s Ebbets field on September 24th, 1957, by which time the ownership of the team had already made the decision to move to LA. \u00a0This card gives one fans reaction…and the added note that they hoped the team would be named the\u00a0Angels<\/a>! \u00a0(See the link for the rather interesting history of the name and origins of the present day Angels in Anaheim)<\/p>\n

Some collectors shy away from used cards, but sometimes the brief peek into history can be rather interesting!<\/p>\n

Until next time…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
