-- Card has been posted -- there is a postmark & stamp, along with a handwritten message & address. The stamp is a Jefferson 2¢ red stamp. The postmark is from Mar 16 at 6:30 PM, 1956 in Daly City, CA.  Card has very minimal markings and corner/edge wear, and seems in excellent 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).

-- Card will be sealed in plastic and then wrapped for shipment using eBay's Standard Envelope shipping method for postcards. This Standard Envelope method DOES come with tracking, and its low cost allows us to offer this card for sale at a price a few dollars lower than a package shipment would cost.
