Up for sale is a fantastic piece of retro Florida tourism kitsch! This original early-1970s scalloped deckle-edge postcard features a classic, cheeky "Wet T-Shirt" bathing beauty design with the caption "C'mon down and join the fun in Florida!"
This card is highly collectible due to its vibrant look and excellent postal history on the back. It features a beautifully struck February 22, 1974 Orlando, FL postmark, a 10-cent "People's Right to Petition" stamp, and a "Natl. Defense Week" machine slogan cancel.
The handwritten message adds incredible nostalgia, detailing a 1970s vacation with the explicit line: "Going to Disney tomorrow." Because Walt Disney World opened in late 1971, this serves as a highly desirable piece of early park-era social history. Card shows vintage age with fading, marks, curling, and bending, but is in generally good condition for its age.
