    FREE SHIPPING - AS USUAL
    (Because of advancing age and the problems that go with same, I'll be cutting back on the
    number of items in my ebay store over the next few months - especially items that are
    difficult to ship [like oversized pre ww1 sheet music and other oversized items] as well as inexpensive items that have been
    listed for more than 2 years without much buyer interest. If you are watching such an
    item in my store, you'd best buy it now before it's permanently removed).
    MIMOSA PARK, Greensboro Highway (Ala. # 69) Tuscaloosa, Alabama . . . The Playground of West Alabama
    ca. mid 1960s standard size postcard with a neat view of a stagecoach being pulled across the park grounds. This park seems to be now long gone, apparently having been "re-developed" into a housing community.
    Photo (?) by Kent; card was published more or less locally by Alabama Post Card Company in Bessemer, Alabama
    As of 26 Jan 2021 there was
    no other listing
    for this view on ebay - 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 unused (but I only have ONE of these); tiny, tiny spot under caption on verso else FINE, BRIGHT . . . . .
    Remember that the
    Abraham Lincoln Penny
    is not attached to the item. It is put on the scanner bed merely to protect the uniqueness or near uniqueness of an image so that the high bidder gets an item that has not been copied via someone's computer. The penny DOES NOT hide any faults or any damage!

    WE REGRET WE DON'T SHIP OUT OF USA; SORRY, BUT
    NO EXCEPTIONS.
    FREE SHIPPING via stiff plastic postcard holder and/or cardboard + mylar 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.
    I ship AT LEAST twice a week (and OCCASIONALLY 3 times per week) so turnover time or handling time is 3
    business
    days (Mon-Fri)
    max
    - often less than that.
    PAYPAL IS THE DEFAULT and MUCH PREFERRED METHOD OF PAYMENT.
    Thanks!
    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!
