Old Estes Postcards

If you were a Rocketeer in the late 1960s and early 1970s, you'll recognize these postcards.

In the barn at my Grandparents ranch, my Sister found a large metal drum full of my old comic books. These postcards were in with the comics.

In total, I counted 39 postcards. Five or more of each, only one of the Estes building.

I had entered the Design Of The Month a few times. Some cards were personalized. In addition to this postcard, I did get other letter correspondence from Avona O'Leary. She must have been responsible for all the last names that started with a "M".

I thought I had a real Bill Simon autograph. I had three of these. After comparing the signatures, I could see they were printed.

Sometimes a postcard was included with an order. You could also send a note and ask for a complete set. I must have done that a few times.
