THEYRE HERE

Unfortunately the Oregon one doesn’t seem to be authentic (the back gives it away :/ It is the same as on the sellers page so egg on my face for that) but the print looks very nice! The picture was originally printed 10-24-1938

The Las Vegas one was printed 10-19-1937??? Holy shit. I have two Nevada cards from curt teich but the other one is from 1941. Losing my mind over this. It is a used card so there’s writing on the back and it’s stamped 1953 so I don’t know if it’s actually from 1937 or if the original design started being printed in 1937. Either way this rocks I’m so happy

I’m still waiting on one more! Very excited. It’s the one with the sad looking dog I posted a pic of a little while back lol
