-
Shanghai (set of 36)
This is an unopened set of 36 cards, and the photo shows the front cover. Based on what we see, and on the quality of the back cover too, these are nice cards, a snapshot in time of Shanghai’s constant changes. But we cannot verify what’s in the pack. It’s a heavy item. Grade: 1
-
Chinese Baggar (sic) in Native City Shanghai
As China gets more expensive, so will these cards. Trust us. Unused, with aging and some album mark on the back. Grade: 2
-
Bund in Shanghai
Consider what The Bund looks like now, and imagine yourself in this scene. Unused card. Grade: 1

China Screen: Tianzifang, Shanghai
We gave up trying to research this novelty card … when we tried to go to the manufacturer’s website, it crashed our computer. And the card is as hard to describe as it was to scan. Think of the coloured area as a two-section film strip, coloured; not like an old-style film negative, but real photos in celluloid. Up close it might seem that each card has a unique photo(s), but we’re not sure about that either. In any case it’s unused and very, very contemporary. Grade: 1
-
Shanghai National AAAA Tourist Attraction
Unused item. It is a China Post card with pre-printed postage on the side you don’t see — adjoining a QR Code if you are really curious. “SUPEC” is the Shanghai Urban Planning Exhibition Center. And it looks like it was worth RMB30 to get you into something. Grade: 1
-

Shanghai fold-out map of four attached cards
What you see in the scan are three of four cards, all attached to each other se-tenant fashion. It all folds out, and the fourth card is just the natural extension of the other three. Unused. The wrapper (not shown) has two QR Codes that presumably explain more. Grade: 1
-
Shanghai Old Views (set of 20)
This is an unopened set measuring 5-1/8″ x 7-3/8″ of 20 postcards. The scan shows you the back of the cardboard cover (still in unsealed film) and we suppose those are thumbnail views of the cards inside. The front of the cover (not shown) is a larger composite view of the Bund and a coy lady, along with some Chinese and English text. Keeping in mind that “old” in Shanghai means “yesterday,” we remind you these are newer cards with old views. Grade: 1
-
Shanghai, Old Long Tang – Card #1
Unused 4-3/8″ x 7″ card whose caption (bilingual) reads “Long tang or li long is a special Shanghai term for a lane. In these sets of four pictures the artist portrays the life of the people who lived in one type of terraced shi ku men house in a long tang in the 1930s and 1940s.” This first card (unnumbered) shows a woman with purse. See 20307817/8/9 for the other three cards, and if you want them all as a set, it would be $5. Grade: 1
-
Shanghai, Old Long Tang – Card #2
Unused 4-3/8″ x 7″ card whose caption (bilingual) reads “Long tang or li long is a special Shanghai term for a lane. In these four sets of pictures the artist portrays the life of the people who lived in one type of terraced shi ku men house in a long tang in the 1930s and 1940s.” This second card (unnumbered) shows a rickshaw.

We’re showing you the front and back of the glossy cardboard cover for this set of unused cards. It gives you the idea of what’s inside, including trolley, racetrack, and so on. Please note these are contemporary cards, not made in the 1940s. Grade: 1
-
100 Old Shanghai Calendars (set of 25)
This set of 25 contemporary cards measures 7-7/8″ x 4-7/8″ x 1/2″, and because it is still sealed in the original cellowrap, we can’t verify what each individual card shows. What we CAN say is that the scan you see is the back cover of the set, and if those thumbnails represent the 25 cards, that would explain where they got the figure “100”. In any event, the set is unused. Grade: 1
-
Shanghai Propaganda Poster Cards (group of 17) – horizontal layout
We don’t know how many cards were originally here, but they are unused and clean reproductions of old posters reminiscent of what DPR Korea still issues. So we’re calling this a “group of 17” and not a “set of 17”. This entry 20307864 shows four typical examples in horizontal layout; entry (B) shows four more, vertical. Grade: 1

Shanghai Disney Resort, Grand Opening (set of 2)
We waited and waited for cards from this newest park in Disney’s empire (opened mid-2016) and then these sets turned up, not from Disney itself but from none other than the Chinese Government. Our scan shows you the fronts and reverses of both cards in the set. The stamps are real, not pre-printed, and they were on the cards when we got them at source. Note that these are not maximum cards, and we want to stress they were not issued by Disney directly. Unused. Grade: 1
-
Shanghai Confucian Temple (set of 12)
