  • North Celebes, Manado Bay

    North Celebes, Manado Bay
  • West Java, Carita Beach

    It took about 3-1/2 hours from here by the fastest boat we could find to get to the remnants of Krakatoa, the volcano. Colleagues may disagree, but we thought it was worth the trip. Two of these unused cards are available, and despite the scan, the caption is all there. Grades: 1

  • Jakarta, Grand Hyatt Hotel

    Three cards are available. They were not issued by the Grand Hyatt, which is just as well, because the caption refers to something (the hotel? Jakarta?) “in its busy-ever night time,” which the card clearly isn’t.  Two cards are unused (Grades: 1, $3) and one was mailed in 2012 with two large stamps, illegible postmark, and address label affixed (Grade: 2, $4).

    Code: 20310035

    Price: $3.00

  • Bogor, Giant Amorphophallus

    The caption on the front says it all, botanically. We are resisting the temptation to list this card under our “Sexy” theme category, but we may change our mind later because really, how many plants actually qualify for that? Three of these unused cards are available. Grades: 1

    Code: 20310045
