Normally I don't post stuff like this (ok you can stop laughing now) but I thought this was interesting.

It's a postcard from 1974. Look at the mascots! Those things were freaky and I've pics of me with them when I was in diapers!

That pic and been popping up on Ebay for a while now. I guess it's a hard sell.

That's a cool postcard. I have that one in my collection thank goodness because I will never again buy from that particular ebay seller (scview). Their prices are inflated, they have very slow shipping as well as high shipping rate. If you email them showing an interest in a particular postcard, they will jack the price up too!

I bought a postcard from them before. They charged me $2.00 for s/h and put it in a .37 envelope with no reinforcement. On top of that they wouldn't answer my emails and took them 3 weeks to ship it. I could've walked there faster to pick it up....

Just a warning for those considering buying from them.

Yeah, but I also heard no one wants those pices of crap because rumor has it that carowinds is in the business of relocating rides rathering then just scraping them...
