Printed card, Radio for Peace International (unauthenticated)

This physical item appears to be a commemorative printed card or informational flyer, featuring a rectangular central blue-and-white photographic image depicting a modern architectural structure surrounded by foliage and vehicles, likely representing a broadcasting station. The card is printed on a stiff off-white or cream-colored paper stock. Prominently printed in bold blue text vertically along the right-hand margin is the text reading 'RADIO FOR PEACE INTERNATIONAL'. Running vertically along the left-hand margin is additional quoted text reading '"5 Years of Serving Shortwave Listeners 1987-1992"'. The item displays mild surface wear, slight toning consistent with age, and soft corner edges typical of printed ephemera from the early 1990s. The identification and naming of the organization rest entirely on the clearly legible printed text visible on the face of the item. There are no visible maker's marks, signatures, or watermarks on the reverse side. The style and medium are consistent with promotional or commemorative ephemera distributed by shortwave radio broadcasters during the early 1990s, though this specific copy is unauthenticated.

Based on what I can see in the provided image, this item is a commemorative printed card or informational flyer associated with Radio for Peace International, marked with text referencing '5 Years of Serving Shortwave Listeners 1987-1992'. The card features a photographic image of a broadcasting station and exhibits mild surface wear and slight toning consistent with early 1990s printed ephemera. I cannot verify from a photo the exact paper composition, printing technique, or exact age, and physical inspection would be needed to determine these factors. The estimated value range of $15-30 assumes that the item is a period promotional piece issued by the organization, though it remains unauthenticated. General market demand for niche shortwave radio ephemera from this era is relatively modest, typically appealing to specialized collectors of broadcasting history. Because this piece is unauthenticated, its value is speculative; if physical inspection reveals it to be a later reproduction, modern replica, or unauthorized copy rather than a period promotional item, the market value would likely drop to a nominal $5-10 range. To establish a more precise valuation and resolve its status, further steps would include in-person examination by an ephemera expert and researching comparable promotional distributions from shortwave broadcasters of the early 1990s.
