Because we got these at the same time and place as some of our postcards on the same theme, we include this item in the website.  We have two decks of 52 playing cards, unused, and the photo shows one side of the carton holding the cards, as well as one of the cards as an example.  Price is for one deck of cards.  Reminder:  these are not postcards.  Grades: 1

Not really Lunar New Year, but issued at the same time of year and presumably only for Shenzhen, but we’re not certain about that.  The lottery is over by now.  Grade: 1

The basic description of this is similar to that for #20307459 except that this volume is dedicated to the Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference, a patriotic united front organization.  All this is explained inside the book.  The stamps and card are not quite the same, but this is clearly a companion piece to #20307459.   Grade: 1

This unused item could be a school or office notebook, as it’s filled with 50+ blank (lined) pages.  What makes this a postcard item is six pages on heavy stock (see our entry 20307461B), each with two calendar months of 2013 and with artwork of two joined postcards, each one of those having pre-printed postage and lottery tickets similar to those on many other of our entries.  (Just imagine that the photo you see in 20307461B is two postcards, each with lottery number and printed postage; and that there are six of those pages.)  There are also other pages, with Chinese text.  This whole softcover notebook measures about 8-3/4″ x 11-1/4″ x 3/8″.  Grade: 1

The water sports stadium built for the 2008 Beijing Olympics on a card mailed from Beijing in 2012 with stamp, full postmark, and red “Par Avion” chops.  Captioned in seven languages, this is about as good an example of contemporary Chinese postcards as you can find.  Grade: 1

A brilliant, evocative postcard, mailed in 2012 with stamp, postmark, and red bilingual Par Avion chop.  Grade: 1

Another specialty set from the Guangdong office of China Post, issued in 2012.  Together with entries 20307468B and C, we describe it here.  The entire item is encased in a cardboard cover (8-1/2″ x 11-1/4″ x 1/2″) as you see in 20307468A (The other side of the cover looks similar but without the cut-out window.)  Including the inside front and back covers, the book itself has 12 page facings of which some are mint stamps, some are postcards, and some are envelopes–stamped in “Maximum Card” style, but without postmarks (see 20307468B and C).  Interior text is all in Chinese, and each individual page is exceptionally rigid and sturdy.  Note the elaborate decorations.   Grade: 1
