Blessing on the Earth (set with cards) – cover
Another of these very substantial sets, issued in October 2013 by China Post. It’s a hardcover book in a heavy cardboard sleeve, the whole thing measuring 10-3/8″ x 10-1/4″ x 3/4″. What you see in this scan is how the book looks through the cover, and we have placed an (untranslated) white insert in the photo too. Apart from inner front and back covers, this item has five heavy pages, each with stamps, stamp sheets, or nine postage pre-paid postcards (you can see examples in 20307559B). At the very end, in its own plastic sleeve, there is a fold-out three-panel strip with three more cards resembling paper cuts on each page: a total of nine more connected cards. Basically, if you like elaborate Chinese paper cuts and drawings of ancient deities and daily life, this is for you. Grade: 1

Spiritual Cats Bring Blessing (set) – cover
First, have a look at our item 32800152, which has no postcards, then see what we have to say about this companion item: large, heavy, hardcover set in a cardboard sleeve, all measuring 10-5/8″ x 10-3/8″ x 3/4″ and issued by Guangdong Philatelic. Here we go: including inner front and back cover, there are 14 facings (6 pages/leaves), extensive text in Chinese but all breeds of cat are identified in English. Some pages have mint stamp sheets, some have uncancelled covers, and there are four postcards like maximum cards but without the postmarks. See 20307560B for a sample page with a card.

Nanhua Temple (set with maximum cards) – cover
First, we are indebted to Wikipedia for this explanation of the temple: “Nanhua Temple (Chinese: 南華寺; pinyin: Nánhuá Sì) is a Buddhist monastery of the Chan School, one of Five Great Schools of Buddhism where Hui Neng, the Sixth Patriarch of the Chan School of Buddhism, once lived and taught. It is located 25 km southeast of Shaoguan, China in the town of Caoxi (漕溪), within Qujiang District. The location is in the northern part of Guangdong province, within a few kilometers from Bei River, formerly an important trade route from Central China to Guangzhou.” Now, to the item: issued by Guangdong Philatelic in 2013, a hardcover set in a cardboard sleeve, measuring 11-3/8″ x 8-3/8″ x 1/2″. Including front and inner back covers, a total of ten facings (four solid pages) with some text, all in Chinese. Of those facings, one has a strip of mint stamps; one has a booklet of stamp sheetlets; four have (postmarked) first-day covers; and four have maximum cards (see 20307561B). Two sets are available.

A set of unused cards in the original shrink wrap. We don’t want to disturb that more than it already is, so we’ve not opened it. Therefore we don’t know exactly how many cards are in the set.

Thank you, China, for continuing to produce wonderful items we can’t describe as well as we want to.

Museum of Toys (set of 30) – front
Whether this unused set of 30 cards represents an actual “Museum of Toys” or an allegorical one, we don’t know. What captioning there is, is all in Chinese. This scan shows the front cardboard cover of the set; 20307597B shows the back cover and all the cards. If you can’t see clearly, they have placed little figurines–including everything from Totoro to Ronald McDonald–in odd settings. It’s an odd set, indeed. By the way, Google translates that as “Museum of Innocence”. Grade: 1
