Does anyone remember back in the 1950's when you could send an unsealed card for a halfpenny less than standard postage or is my memory playing tricks on me?

The only reason I can think of is that it was very uncommon to put a return address on the envelope in those days, so undelivered mail would have to be opened in order to return it. Tis was much easier if the envelope was unsealed. Just a theory of mine.
.. and the postman probably knew you anyway, mike.
