Shenzhen Grand View (folio) – cover
This particular item measures 7-1/2″ x 7-7/8″ x 1/4″ thick. It looks like a menu in an upscale restaurant in China. Open it to find the first two pages each with a postcard whose front is entirely Chinese text, and whose reverse has pre-printed postage. There are five solid pages (12 facings overall), with a postcard representing one part of a long panoramic art view of Shenzhen. Above the card on each page (in a plastic sleeve) is a stamp matching that particular card. So these are like Maximum Cards, but the stamp is above the card, not on it, and not postmarked. And more pre-printed postage on each card’s reverse. Grade: 1
