98-026 Ponce de León Park - Atlanta, Georgia
I was visiting the
Book Eddy this morning, purchasing books for Edison who is a sophomore this year. You know the kind of books...
Great Expectations,
Lord of the Flies,
Animal Farm. At the checkout counter they have a few boxes of postcards. Being frugal, I gravitated towards the "10 for a dollar" box.

98-005 Cleveland (Municipal) Stadium - Cleveland, Ohio
I found 22 unused postcards of ballparks. According to the back of the cards, they were published by Vic Pallos of Glendale, California. The photos on the cards are from a variety of collectors and libraries. The cards I purchased have a number ranging from "98-001" to "98-030". The cards are standard size, 5-1/2" x 3-1/2".

A * indicates that I don't own it. I was able to use
eBay listings to find some info on the missing cards. I assume that card number 98-017 is of Nicollet Park, but I haven't seen it yet.
There is no copyright date on the cards, but based on the numbering system, I'd toss out a guess that they were issued in 1998.
