It's not fully clear to me yet whether this is a series from #1 to #601,
which is the highest number I have seen.
Time will tell.

I have choosen to divide my collection in the follwing sections:
#1-61, #214-218, #251-263, #313-317 and then the single number #494.
I also have one unnumbered postcard in my collection.

I have on auction sites seen numbers:
#14 "Palatial Yachts moored along Causeway, Miami"
#23 "Routine inspection, Pan American Clipper, Miami"
#42 "Causeways that link Miami and Miami Beach"
#99 "xxx Fort Lauderdale, Fla" (Canal Scene)
