Fists
Unused card, blank on the reverse. The words we’ve blotted out loosely translate as “revenge” and, in Cantonese, sound like “dan kong” if that helps you. Grade: 1

Code: 20308858C*
Price: $12.00
Walk Together
It might have been acceptable to show this card uncut but all its neighbours might have made it guilty by association. The missing characters suggest “we’re all in this together”. Unused, and blank on the back. Grade: 1

Code: 20308859C
Price: $8.00
Polytechnic University, Dyed Water
It was a bright day, and somehow we found ourselves observing this action, in Kowloon. Guess what? It looked like this, and one would not want to be caught in that spray. It’s blue for a reason. The unused card has extensive captioning on the reverse, and the two QR codes. Grade: 1

Code: 20308860*
Price: $29.00
Under the Lion Rock
Hong Kong people will recognise our title for this card as an iconic TV series, but here we give it a different meaning for this artwork. The missing characters suggest a message of hope for the future of HK. Unused card, blank on the back. Grade: 1

Code: 20308862C*
Price: $9.00
Extreme
Sorry that we couldn’t allow most of the image or text to display here. But we’re certain you will get the idea. Unused card, blank on the reverse. Grade: 1

Code: 20308863C*
Price: $12.00
Hong Kong Way
In any other context, this would be a nice, clear night view of the territory. There’s nothing sensitive about the photo, so we show it uncensored. But it is part of the broad series of cards documenting 2019 events, so there’s something going on here we’re not quite certain about. Unused. Grade: 1

Code: 20308864
Price: $6.00
Blockade
During all the turmoil, it has been a common tactic for persons to open umbrellas and hover behind them while roads were blocked or other activities were being planned. It’s so tempting to say more here, but we can’t. Unused card, blank on the back. Grade: 1

Code: 20308865C*
Price: $14.00
Ambulance
You need to look closely at this to see it’s actually artwork and not a photograph. Yet it accurately represents the occasional situation where throngs parted to allow ambulances through. Unused card, and the reverse has extensive political captioning and two QR codes. One of our personal favourites. Grade: 1

Code: 20308866C
Price: $29.00
We will keep …
If blocking out certain sections were necessary on any card, it would be this one. (The characters we felt secure enough to include just say “Hong Kong”.) Unused, and blank on the back. Grade: 1

Code: 20308867C
Price: $12.00
Dark Tower
Just dark. Much activity took (takes) place at night anyway. Unused, and blank on the reverse. Grade: 1

Code: 20308868C*
Price: $12.00
Sunrise
Heavily symbolic. Unused, blank on the reverse. Grade: 1

Code: 20308869C*
Price: $12.00
The night view of Central district
Mailed in 2019, with four different hand-cancelled stamps and blue trilingual airmail label. All you could hope for in a typical Hong Kong postcard. Grade: 1

Code: 20308870
Price: $4.00
Newsstand during 1997 Handover
What we definitely can say about this card: it has character. Let’s hope we don’t forget everything we should say about it. Published in Hong Kong, commemorating events during the 1997 handover from Great Britain to China; and mailed from Hong Kong (in 2019) with four stamps and three postmarks, along with a blue Airmail label. Someone in the post office marked off the address, as if to help someone else find it — an unnecessary move. But the photo itself is of a newsstand in PR China, not Hong Kong, and we know this because the newspaper and the blue road sign (“alight here”) are in simplified and not traditional Chinese characters. Of course if you can read Chinese, you’ll know more. Grade: 2

Something Wrong
… in the text, and with the card, which had been on public display and which has tape around all four edges. Otherwise unused, there’s a full explanation on the reverse. As with other cards having a “*” in the index number, this card is not for sale to Hong Kong residents. Grade: 5

Code: 20308873C*
Price: $4.00
2030
This unused item is printed on very flimsy paper stock, and could be a postcard or just a small poster. As you see, we had to remove a fair amount of text, all in Chinese. As with similar items in this series, it has a “*” in the index number, so is not for sale to Hong Kong residents. Grade: 1

Code: 20308874C*
Price: $6.00
Rock Climbing
Unused card, blank on the reverse, whose theme and situation you will understand from similar entries. Not for sale to Hong Kong residents. Grade: 1

Code: 20308875C*
Price: $9.00
Laser
Unmailed card with a strip of white paper bearing a QR code taped to the reverse — which itself has a lot of information and explanation. Not for sale to Hong Kong residents. Grade: 4

Code: 20308876C*
Price: $9.00

Unused card with a QR Code on the reverse. Not for sale to Hong Kong residents. Grade: 1

You Don’t Listen
One of the most comprehensively iconic cards we have to represent the 2019-2020 situation. Unused, with different QR Codes on the reverse. Not for sale to Hong Kong residents. Grade: 1

Code: 20308880C*
Price: $24.00
Theme
Unused, with QR Code on the reverse and smudging from being handled. The design which plays with characters is creative and refers to one term but we can show none of it here. Not for sale to Hong Kong residents. Grade: 3

Code: 20308881C*
Price: $9.00
Keep Your Heart Warm
The legend on this unused card is a bit confusing even to our local friends, but we’ve had to blank it out anyway. Maybe the QR Code on the back will explain. Or maybe not. Not for sale to Hong Kong residents. Grade: 1

Code: 20308882C*
Price: $12.00
Spider
We didn’t know what to call this, but it’s graphic in all ways. Unused but heavily smudged from handling. QR Code on the reverse. Not for sale to Hong Kong residents. Grade: 3

Code: 20308883C*
Price: $10.00
Future
Fully printed on both sides. If you tried, you could probably use it as a postcard, but not from here in Hong Kong. QR code on the back. Not for sale to Hong Kong residents. Grade: 1

Code: 20308884C*
Price: $5.00
Raincoat
What you see is what there is: blank on the reverse, and unused. Grade: 1

Code: 20308888
Price: $14.00
Evolving social expressions
Among the first of 2020’s “expression” cards that we feel secure enough to post without censorship, having read through the Chinese text and believing there’s nothing wrong with it. It’s unused, and blank on the reverse. Grade: 1

Code: 20308889
Price: $9.00
Abstract
Unused card, blank on the back apart from a large red legend all in Chinese, and a much smaller and more sensitive text in the stamp area. Grade: 1

Code: 20308890
Price: $4.00
Ocean Park (Maximum Cards) (Set of 6)
A set of six maximum cards, issued by Hongkong Post in August 2020, with philatelic postmarks. The animals include the King Penguin, Giant Panda, Meerkat, Sichuan Golden Snub-nosed Monkey, Toco Toucan, and Indo-Pacific Bottlenose Dolphin. All at that time to be found in one of Hong Kong’s two big theme parks, both of which had struggled mightily during the pandemic. Grades: 1

Code: 20308891
Price: $24.00
Wall of Post-It Notes
One of the four Beatles (JL) had walls named after him, and that’s what this unused card shows. Grade: 1

Code: 20308892
Price: $8.00
Opinions
We’ve consulted others who agree that this card can be displayed without censorship, at least not for now. Unused, with more information (also all in Chinese) on the reverse. Grade: 1

Code: 20308893
Price: $4.00
Crowd
Unused, and (we think) safe to display in its entirety. A QR Code on the back, you’ll need to see that for yourself. Grade: 1

Code: 20308894
Price: $4.00
The Government
Unused, with a small section covered up for safety. Not for sale to Hong Kong or PRC residents. Grade: 1

Hong Kong Past & Present Series: Victoria Harbour (3D) (set of four)
Issued in 2020, Hongkong Post’s Postage Prepaid Picture Card Series No. 62, a set of four 3D (lenticular printing) cards whose views show Victoria Harbour past and present, depending on the perspective. These unused cards are very heavy, brilliant, and a gem for any collection. Our scan shows the front — blurry because 3D doesn’t scan well — and typical reverse showing prepaid postage. Limited quantities of two types of set are available: without any stamp cancellation (Grades: 1, $33) and with special cancellation (Grades: 1, $36).
