Postgirot Open 1986

You know, there really isn't much to say about this post card. It resembles the post card from 1985, which either could be seen as a bit cheap and predictable, or that they had found a concept, a logo that was working. (Which, we will see later, probably was not the case.) But instead of the image being slightly tilted this time the image is completely horizontal. And below the name of the race and the dates are the names and logos of the sponsors of the race. (Note Cycles Peugeot!)

 Here you go:

(To be honest I think the graphics on the 1985 post card for Postgirot Open worked better.)

The backside of the card, which says "Postgirot Open 1986 - The fifth success year)

And then there is the pin. Not much to say about that either, it's kind of the logo of the 1985 and 1986 post cards, and kind of not. Well, I could say that I bought this pin for about 30 Swedish krona, about 2,59 €. I recently saw an ad on what is basically the Swedish ebay, where a guy tried to sell a pin from Postgirot Open 2002 for 980 Swedish krona, about 84,58 €! Don't fall for it! These are sold cheap and they should be sold cheap. (Though you might have to wait for one to come around and you might need a bit of luck too.) Also, they are not participant badges, like some sellers like to claim. These were strictly promotional. (Although, I suppose, anyone taking part in the race probably got one or could have gotten one should they have had to ask.)

To be completely honest again I think that this pin is kind of tacky, so I don't use it, but still it's Postgirot Open memorabilia.

That's it for today! Note the absence of politics today! Not that I don't have anything to say about what's going on in the world, and not just the corona virus, but for once you don't have to put up with it.

Ride safe!
