  • Pine tree crying, going to Shang-xio Temple

    We’ve asked around and what you see as the title to this card is the best we can come up with.  Sorry!  The card is old, then was mailed from Japan to USA in 1985 with stamp and Shinjuku postmark.  Definitely international.  Grade: 4

    This is a card with personality.  We don’t know where the scene is because the captions are mostly obscured by all the stamps (five in total, one being pre-printed).  Three postmarks, and red Par Avion chop.  Mailed in 2010.  Grade: 2

  • Beijing 2008 Olympics pre-issue Maximum set (folio of 6)

    The set measures 5-5/8″ x 8-1/4″ overall (the cards are not this big) and is made so that it can sit upright on a table, like a picture in a frame.  The set contains six different cards, similar to what you see here.  They are “Maximum Cards” in that the affixed stamps represent the same sport as the card they are on, even if artwork is different.  Unused and in exactly the same condition and wrapping as received from China Post.  Official Olympics logo on a sticker on the back.  Grade: 1

  • 1956 postcards of China (set of 12)

    Twelve unused, coloured postcards are wrapped in a torn and somewhat flimsy paper cover as you see, with the pencilled notation on the front.  The Chinese-language caption on the reverse of the cover suggests that 70,000 of these sets were produced in 1956.  Each card has an identifying caption also, but only in Chinese, mostly rural images of scenery, temples, and the like.  The cards are OK; it’s only the paper cover (called “West Lake”) that shows wear.   Grade: 3

  • Guangdong Travel Tickets postcard book

    This is a heavy, unused, unique item issued by China Post.  First, it measures about 8-3/8″ long, by 4-7/8″ high, by 5/8″ deep.   Translucent plastic encloses two things:  (1) a book (entirely in Chinese) including several pages of postcards with stamps pre-printed and also alongside the cards, making them look like admission tickets to various amusement or scenic venues; also some advertising (!) and what might be a phone card, though we’re not sure; and (2) another similar but somewhat larger book doing much the same thing.  We have not seen anything like this before.  But it looks like it would get you into almost anything of interest in the entire Guangdong Province, and postcards are at the heart of it all.  Magnificent!  Grade: 1.

  • Chinese Elements (set)

    This is a set of ten detached postcards, issued by China Post, each with postage pre-printed on the reverse.  Bilingual captions (Chinese and English) on each card explain the relevance of such traditional activities (“elements”) as Chinese tea culture, Peking Opera, and Blue and White porcelain.  Most of the cards portray repeating patterns of whatever they describe.  Which–in itself–makes this hard to describe, but it’s a very nice, even elegant, set of postcards.  And two sets are available.  Grades: 1
