The 26th Shenzhen Summer Universiade Venues, Sculpture Postcards (PR China) (set of 10)
This is a set of ten cards with artistic renditions of sporting stadiums and venues for the summer games. Each card is like a Maximum Card by having a stamp from the games on the front, but the stamp is the same on each card and has the cartoon mascot. Next to the stamp is a small actual photo of the larger artwork on the front of each card. There is no postage pre-printed on the reverse, but details of the designer, engraver, authorizations, etc. All of these are packed in a very hard and thick cardboard box, which is what you see in the scan. An attached ribbon helps open the lid. This is very durable; the reverse of the cover explains the games and these “engraving postcards” in Chinese and English, and also has a holographic sticker vouching for authenticity. That’s all we can say! Grade: 1
