Vintage Postcard 1985 Oaxaca Mexico Monte Alban Ruins Turok Exporta Solo Stamp

Social History: Mailed from Oaxaca to Charlotte, North Carolina, the message details a visit to the "Saturday Market" with its "crowds of people" and traditional aromatic breads.

Postal History: This is a solo usage of the $35 stamp, which was the exact international postcard rate to the USA at that time. It serves as a fascinating example of the high-denomination stamps required during Mexico's period of hyperinflation in the 1980s.
