Pan Pac Postcard

Bought this about 20 years ago or so at a flea market and planned to put it with the Pan Pac $50 that I hoped to own. Still have the card but for some reason (or sixty thousand of them) never acquired the coin.

Very nice, I like it, wish I had one !!!
Unfortunately $60 thousand buys the “family sedan” these days. There was one on the show circuit a few years ago for $20 thousand. Unfortunately it had been recovered from a building demo, and looked like it had lost a fight with a hammer.
I like the wish list too. Neat card. You researched and priced the value of the wishlist at all?
And you still have time to get the Pan Pac to go with your card.
Awesome- save that card because it belongs with one. You'll get it- the gettin' does get to the good more often than not. Sooner, or, later. I look forward to the post when you can claim that honor.
I never looked into the want list. Just thought it was interesting.
I actually bid on an AU octagonal a couple of years ago but was runner-up. I may have won it with a better bid strategy. I haven't lost any sleep over it though.
I can't access the sites at work but are some relevant results from a Google search. There is a ton of numismatic history behind that card!

Great postcard! I wonder if Farran Zerbe had those at his booth at the Panama-Pacific Exposition.
Nice bit of exonumia... I would keep that for sure....even without the $50 PanPac.... Cheers, RickO
Perhaps a bit easier on the wallet to reunite the postcard with the coin owner, rather than the coins with the postcard owner!
