McDonald’s and Apple – scratch off (not a postcard)
Though postcard-sized, unlike similar McDonald’s promotional cards in China, this doesn’t actually say “postcard” in English anywhere on it, and it would be hard to mail as one, though not impossible. The scan shows front and back, with the small silver area being a scratch-off promotion. Unused. Grade: 1

YoYo set with 10 cards and more
China Post continues to find new ways to surprise us. See also our entry 20307644B for what’s inside the 11-1/2″ x 8-3/4″ x 3-1/8″ box, and we’ll try to describe briefly. First, a yoyo for the Auldey Yoyo Blazing Team. Lots and lots of instructions on the back of that, but all in Chinese. Next, a “Blazing Teens” anime CD or DVD, we’ve not tried it. Finally, the pack of 10 postcards, each unused and with pre-paid postage. This was produced in 2009, and though it is unused and in good condition, the outer box only has very minor effects of handling. The postcards are Grade: 1.

The Supplies Equipments for China Post – money pouch
Please see entries 20307603/617/618/646 for others in this series of six “supplies equipments” (sic) items from China Post. Somehow, for now we have at least one of each of the six items. Apart from being models of things China Post actually uses, these all have one element in common: a small postcard with pre-printed postage enclosed in the box. What you see right here is a cloth money pouch. Grade: 1

The Supplies Equipments for China Post – different postboxes
Please refer to items 20307603/617/618/645 for descriptions of other items in this series. Because the two in this photo (20307646) are still sealed, we have not broken the seals to show the insides. One is a green pillar box (the taller one); the other is shorter, and while we don’t know the correct name for these, it is green and in the shape of many public mailboxes in the USA. Each box that you see in our photo contains the corresponding postbox along with a small postcard having pre-printed postage. Each is unused and somewhat heavy. Grades: 1. (Price for each of the two items, not both: $62) (or, both for $92).

Journey to the West – The Monkey King
Journey to the West is a Chinese novel published in the 16th century during the Ming Dynasty and attributed to Wu Cheng’en. It is one of the Four Great Classical Novels of Chinese literature. The item here is a book measuring 8-1/4″ x 11-1/4″, and this scan shows the cover. Six heavy, double-sided pages and inside front and back covers have an assortment of postcards, stamped covers, and mint stamps. (See also 20307647B for sample facing.) Unused. Grade: 1

Extra-large cards, scenic views (set) – cover
Please also see 20307648B, which shows the many different contents of this set: cards, more cards, lists … urban and rural scenes throughout China. This box (measuring 9-3/4″ square, by 1-1/8″ deep) is quite heavy, and each of the many picture cards are just a bit smaller than that. Note how China Post in Guangzhou has done this: the pre-stamped card only takes up the centre of each photo. We don’t think they expect people to cut these cards to size, but it would be possible to do. (We haven’t.) Unused. Grade: 1

Spread Buddhism in the World (folio) – cover
A thangka, also known as tangka, thanka or tanka, is a painting usually depicting a Buddhist deity, scene, or mandala of some sort. The thangka is not a flat creation like oil or acrylic, but consists of a picture panel which is painted or embroidered over which a textile is mounted and then over which is laid a cover, usually silk. It is sometimes called a scroll-painting. These thangka served as important teaching tools depicting the life of the Buddha, various influential lamas and other deities and bodhisattvas. We are indebted to Wikipedia from which we have condensed this description, and for this item you should also see our entries 20307649B/C. Buddha blesses you with peace … Unused. Grade: 1
