West Lake Bygone Images (set) – front
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. It looks like about 20 based on the thickness. See 20307593B for the reverse outer cover, a selection of the cards inside. Grade: 1

Yes, I Do! (set) – front
This is a set of 30 unused cards that seem to be something like cute, redeemable love coupons. (We don’t really know how to express this well.) The scan shows the front of the cardboard cover (the blue panel) and three sample cards. Scan 20307595B shows the reverse cover with all the cards, and there is a strip of QR codes in the plastic wrap too, if you’re feeling adventurous. Grade: 1

Love – 30 Days of June (set)
Thank you, China, for continuing to produce wonderful items we can’t describe as well as we want to. The scan here shows the front cover and two of the 30 cards in this unused set of love notes and romantic asides, one for each day of the month. Unlike other sets, the reverse cover doesn’t show a greater selection. Grade: 1

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

Impression of China (set) – front

The Supplies equipments for China Post
So what’s going on here? It is a very sturdy cardboard box measuring 3-5/8″ across by 6-3/8″ long by 2-1/4″ deep. Inside, a small postcard with pre-printed postage, and a little cloth bag full of what looks like ground up something, though we’ve not opened it. All three of these appear in the photo. And we have two of these sets available. Grades: 1

Autumn foliage, moral courage

Nanjing, Jiangnan Institute
There’s a substantial caption (Chinese only) on the back of this card, mailed in 2013 with large stamp and clear postmark. The sender kindly helped translate what the place is, though for the caption, you’re on your own. Grade: 1

Sanya, Forever Tropical Paradise – Aerial view
Sanya is an extremely popular Chinese resort area in the far south, so it can get away with calling itself tropical. But it has a reputation similar to Pattaya, or … well, we can only say we are curious but have somehow never found the will to visit. Mailed in 2013 with one pre-printed stamp and one real one, and postmark, the card shows Sanya Bay. Grade: 1

Code: 20307608
Price: $4.00
Drawing
If you can read Chinese, you’ll know what this symbolises. The card was mailed in 2013 with one pre-printed stamp and one large real one, along with clear postmark, small red postal chops, and a bit of correction fluid in the address. Grade: 4

Code: 20307609
Price: $1.00
Wuhan, temples
Wuhan has many temples. These are surely identified in the Chinese caption, but there’s no English. Card mailed in 2013 with four stamps and two postmarks. Grade: 2

Code: 20307610
Price: $2.00
Wuhan, city night skyline

Horses (set) – Cover
Here we offer another of the fine sets produced by Guangdong Philatelic (GDPC), in 2014. As with similar sets, this is a hardcover book in a cardboard sleeve. (The sleeve and the book cover are very similar, not quite identical.) The item measures about 10-1/2″ x 10-1/4″ x 1/2″. There are five pages of heavy cardboard, and inside front and back cover facings, so altogether 12 sides with something on them. One page is dedicated to a stamp of more than 6″ long; one to a block set of se-tenant stamps matching that one; and there are three cards, not-quite-maximum, as you see in 20307616B. Captioned in Chinese and English. Grade: 1

China Post lorry set – two items
Definitely a specialty. You can see everything in the photo. The box measures 8″ x 3-1/2″ x 3-1/4″ (approx.). The little (3-1/8″ x 5″) postcard is unused and has pre-printed postage. The lorry itself is plastic but finely detailed, right down to the rear-view mirror, and the wheels all turn. Grade: 1

Code: 20307617A
Price: $62.00
China Post lorry set – the postcard
See description for 20307617A. The price here is, of course, for the entire set. Grade: 1

Price: $62.00
China Post van set – three items
Similar in concept but *not* in execution to our item 20307617, this little minivan is actually battery-operated. The word that comes to mind is “cute” but it’s nicely detailed, heavy, and along with the unused postcard it becomes a desirable addition to your collection. The box measures 6-1/8″ x 3-1/2″ x 2-3/4″. Grade: 1

Code: 20307618
Price: $79.00
Disney-related school supplies
Where to start … issued by PRC’s State Postal Bureau in 2000, this unused card has pre-printed Beijing 2008 Olympics postage. They were really planning ahead, and we had to go to Beijing to get this. Some smudging on the back but a genuine prize for Disney collectors. The text says that a Chinese Light Industry company wishes Beijing to have a successful bid for the Olympics. Grade: 2

Code: 20307619
Price: $24.00
Snow White, sleeping
Unused card from the Chinese Government, long before Disney announced they would build a park in Shanghai. There’s a long caption, all in Chinese, and this was card #4 in a series. Compare with our entry 20307621. Looking a bit tired on the back, but still clean and unmarked. Grade: 2

Code: 20307620
Price: $22.00
Snow White, and witch
Unused card from the Chinese Government. There’s a long caption, all in Chinese, and this was card #3 in a series. Compare with our entry 20307620. Often handled over the years, as it’s straight from Beijing. Grade: 3

Code: 20307621
Price: $20.00
Mutianyu Great Wall (set)
If you go to Beijing and want to see the Great Wall, the closest access is called Badaling. Don’t go there. Trust us. Spend a little extra, and go a little further, to the Mutianyu entrance. Go early in the morning. You won’t regret it. When you’re there, you will see vendors selling these sets of cards. They will ask outrageous prices, and you need to bargain. With us, you don’t need to. We have two of these unused sets of ten cards available. Our scan shows the cover and three of the cards. Grades: 1

Code: 20307622
Price: $19.00
New Beijing (set of 10)
A set of ten unused cards. The photo shows the cover and three of the cards, which include Beijing South Railway Station, Beijing 798 Art Zone, National Centre for the Performing Arts, National Stadium, The Capital International Airport Terminal 3, and other contemporary features. Grade: 1

Code: 20307624
Price: $16.00
China-France Joint Issue (Maximum Cards) (set of 2)
A set of two Maximum Cards, issued on 27th March 2014. One card features Qinhuai River in Nanking, with a French postmark. The other shows the Seine River in Paris–with a Chinese postmark. The set comes enclosed in China Post’s standard printed “Maximum Card” polywrap. Ten sets are available. Grades: 1

Price: $6.00
McDonalds – Healthy Eating – Vegetables
This item is the size and shape of a postcard, and when you first see the fully pre-printed reverse (main text all in Chinese), you might believe it is not a postcard at all. But it is, and it says so, in tiny print in English: “Apr/13 – iBoard – Postcard – Trust – Vegetable”. Compare with our two other, similar cards of different colours. If you would like one of each of the three versions, total would be $12. Grade: 1
