Post cards in mint condition and worth the $. Highly recommend seller. Saves me the cost of a plane ticket to get to Rome. Went there 2X before already. Nothing like high quality merchandise from an honest seller. Highly recommend. Sure beats being a poor, unwanted traveler in a foreign land, Rome or anywhere else. Thank goodness for the USA. Home is where the heart is...
