KBOI-AM Commemorative QSL card

The item depicted in the photograph is a paper QSL card or commemorative convention item associated with KBOI-AM radio. The piece is printed in black ink on off-white or cream-colored cardstock with a decorative scalloped or notched rectangular border surrounding the text and graphics. Physical characteristics include bold typography and several distinct logos and text blocks. The text is oriented vertically in the image. Prominently featured text reads 'KBOI-am', '50,000 WATTS - 670', 'the sound that's all around', 'RADIO IDAHO', 'P.O. BOX 1280, BOISE, IDAHO 83701', 'NBC RADIO NETWORK', 'COMMEMORATIVE QSL', 'CONVENTION 1978', 'AUG 11, 12, 13', and 'Portland OREGON' alongside a graphic of a flamingo labeled 'Flamingo'. Additionally, there is a circular logo for the 'International Radio Club of America (IRCA)' and a stylized 'KBOI RADIO 670' logo enclosed in a banner shape with the slogan 'Someone to turn to'. Visible condition includes mild yellowing or aging of the paper stock consistent with vintage paper ephemera, though no major tears, creases, or staining are immediately apparent in this section of the photograph. The attribution rests entirely on the legible printed text and logos directly visible on the item. The style and subject matter are consistent with mid-to-late 20th-century radio hobbyist ephemera, specifically commemorating a 1978 convention held in Portland, Oregon.

Based on what I can observe from the provided photograph, this paper ephemera item appears to be a commemorative QSL card associated with KBOI-AM radio for a 1978 convention in Portland, Oregon. The piece features bold typography, multiple logos, and mild yellowing consistent with vintage paper goods. However, I cannot verify the exact paper quality, exact age, or printing technique from a photograph alone, and physical inspection would be needed to fully evaluate the material. The estimated value range assumes the working hypothesis that this is a period-correct convention souvenir. Radio hobbyist ephemera and vintage QSL cards generally occupy a niche collector market where demand is driven by specific station interest, such as KBOI or the International Radio Club of America. Common items of this type typically trade within a modest market range. This valuation is entirely dependent on the item being a period-original piece rather than a modern reproduction, replica, or souvenir reprint. If physical examination reveals the item to be a later copy or reproduction, the value would be significantly lower, likely nominal. To establish greater certainty regarding its production era and condition, an in-person examination by a paper ephemera specialist or vintage radio collector would be required.
