    original ca early 1920s real photo postcard showing a bird's eye view of the campus of Georgia Southwestern College [now a University] in Americus Georgia. Card is not so identified but I was able to easily identify the place from the postmark and from views of the college online - as well as the
    VERY FAINT
    mention of "GSC" within the text of the message.
    standard postcard size.
    With an Americus 27 August postmark but the year is just an ink blob :-{
    I'm thinking that this MAY be the EARLIEST real photo postcard showing the entire campus.
    As of 12 March 2021 I couldn't find this card elsewhere on ebay in either current or
    completed listings
    (Starting 18 March 2020 - though I'm social distancing myself and have absolutely no symptoms - I will rub [until dry] a fresh dollop of rubbing alcohol into my hands immediately before picking your items from my shelves and packing them - and again when I mail them).
    postally used (although penciled message very is faint) with an impossible to read Americus postmark but I'm making an "educated guess" that it dates from the early 1920s; a few very minor creases; corners very lightly bumped else VERY GOOD - displays nicely

    WE REGRET WE DON'T SHIP OUT OF USA; SORRY, BUT
    NO EXCEPTIONS.
    FREE SHIPPING via stiff plastic postcard holder and/or cardboard + plastic sleeve protected 1st class mail, STANDARD RATE.
    Regardless of what ebay may say on their "Shipping Page" - while STANDARD MAIL is perfectly safe for smaller & less expensive items - it is NOT the same grade of service as a "First Class Mail Package." Buyer MAY opt in (at a small-ish extra charge) for upgraded 1st class mail package rate (with TRACKING #)  at checkout if they choose to do so.
    Should the price go MUCH ABOVE my minimum, at my discretion, I'll upgrade the shipping FREE to corrugated board protected 1st class mail parcel rate with FREE tracking #.
    Please pay within 4 days. Delayed? Then email me - I'll try to work with you when necessary but it helps a lot when I have contact with you. If your payment is delayed, ebay is liable to send a dun or two. PLEASE NOTE THAT THOSE ARE COMING AUTOMATICALLY FROM EBAY AND
    NOT
    FROM ME. I typically send out just one reminder.
    PLACING A BID IS THE ETHICAL EQUIVALENT OF ACCEPTING THESE TERMS. PLEASE DON'T ASK TO ALTER THEM AFTERWARDS.
    In return, as our feedback clearly shows, we'll get your item(s) to you, as described, in a safe, timely manner. Thanks!
