Postal Cards
Note: The word “pristine” is used to describe cards that appear to be as fine as though just purchased at the post office. VF is used for cards that have very minor faults. Reply Cards are in two parts, attached. One-half bears words in French that translate "with paid reply" and the other half "paid reply". The term "A-half" is used to refer to the first and "B-half" to the second. All descriptions are based on the Higgins and Gage (H&G) "World Postal Stationery Catalog".
