Post cards from HemisFair '68
Please note that this list is still underway. and there are many cards not yet included. Titles in parentheses are tentative until I verify the actual titles. Please let me know if you have details on any of the missing cards or if you spot any errors. I'm also interested in buying any cards marked as "NEEDED".

Part 1 – “100” series. These cards, which generally feature concept artwork work or models, measure 3-1/2 x 5-1/2 inches. Some were also released in booklet format. They were produced by Plastichrome of Texas, Inc. In some cases there were different versions issued for the same card. In most cases this meant the addition of the words "Texas World Fair" or "Texas World's Fair" to the front of the card, or, in the case of HF115, adding the name of the Fair.
