Shenzhou spacecraft programme – separate sheet (set)
This is a separate sheet that comes with the book. We might be missing some nuance of the instruction, but it looks like the idea is to scratch off the silver surface (and there are many) and key in the matched numbers with a password to join a lucky draw. Prizes could have included joining a live show, “big prizes,” movie tickets … but only available until April 2014. See also scans 20307525A,B, and D.

Year of the Snake postcards, currency, and more (set)
This bound item measures 8-5/8″ x 13″ x 1/2″ in its cardboard cover. Scans 20307526A through E give you an idea of what’s inside. Remove the sleeve and open to the inside front cover (526B) with text. Facing that (not shown), a Happy New Year sheetlet with what looks like four stamps, but they’re not postage. Turn the page to see two facing pages, each with many currency notes of special serial numbers. Scan 526C shows one of those two pages; notes on the facing page are 1RMB and the serial numbers for those end in three identical numbers (111,222, etc.). Several more thick pages follow, with actual stamp sheetlets, mint stamps, and the like. Then three more facings, each with two pieces of joined postcards having pre-printed postage (scan 526D). As if all that was not enough, on the inside back cover, see scan 526E — that’s a credit-card-sized 3D Buddhist blessing. Grade: 1

Similar in concept (and execution) to 20307526, but without the blessing. This book, in its cardboard sleeve, measures 8-5/8″ x 11-5/8″ x 1/2″. Scan 527A shows the front cover. Scan 527B shows the inside front cover. 527C shows one of two pages of notes ; the other page is a different denomination but the same serial numbers. 527D shows the postcard contained within, an individually numbered lottery card with pre-printed postage. There are also stamps in various forms on the other pages. Grade: 1
