  • China’s dream of the people’s happiness (folio)

    Entry 20307794A shows the cover of this 8-3/8″ x 11-1/4″ item, typical of many other PR China folios:  inside front and back covers plus five very sturdy cardboard pages containing assorted individual stamps, stamp strip, stamp sheetlet, stamped envelopes, and four stamped (on the front) postcards.  Nothing has a postmark, so the postcards are not maximum cards.  Entry 20307794B shows the four postcards.  Grade: 1

  • Jade (2 sets totalling 25 cards and 2 stamp sheets)

    Using only one scan, we’ll do our best to describe this.  There are a total of 25 jade-related official postcards, each with pre-printed postage.  These are split into two groups (one of 12, one of 13 cards) and each group has a stamp sheetlet with it.  The scan shows the outer cardboard cover of one group; the other cover looks about the same.  The scan also shows one sample card–they’re all different even if it takes some effort to see how–and one of the stamp sheetlets.  Everything is unused, and the price covers both sets.   Grade: 1

  • Zhejiang Provincial Museum, artist, set #1 (set of 10)

    We shamefully admit our research resources sometimes vanish while we enter cards, and this is one such case.  If you read Chinese, there’s an extensive story on the back cover of the set, to explain everything.  We have two similar but not identical sets available (see also our entry 20307809), with one focusing on “chops” and the other on art and calligraphy.  Scan #20307808 shows the front of the cover (lower left) and two sample cards from the set of 10–all unused.  Scan #20307809 does the same for the other set.  Cost is per set.  Take both for $20.  Grades: 1

  • In Commemoration of the Military Parade for the 70th Anniversary of the Victory … (set) (cover)

    The full title continues “… of the Chinese People’s War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression and the World Anti-Fascist War”.  We need three scans to show you what all is here (see also 20307813B and C), from China National Philatelic Corporation.

    Scan A shows the outer front hard cover, measuring 8-3/4″ x 12″ x 1-1/4″, and it is exceptionally sturdy.  Scan B shows the front of a softcover folder inside, which folds out into three facing pages each containing a different set of mint stamps.  (There’s also an extensive story, in Chinese only.)  If you want to see the stamps, just ask us.  Scan C shows you the fronts of two and the reverse of one of 80 (yes, 80) cards we think are all different but to be honest we haven’t tried to check.  There’s also one more rectangular card for good measure.  Everything is unused.  Trust us on this:  if you collect postcards with a military theme, this is about as good as it gets.  Grade: 1

  • Old city, UNESCO imprimatur

    This is a wonderful photo on a creased card mailed from Shenzhen to Hong Kong (by Air Mail!) with two stamps and postmark in 2014.  As far as we can tell, the Chinese caption just says “old city” though there is a westernised blue World Heritage mark behind that.  Grade: 3

  • Monkey long set – Li Yan (cover)

    At Lunar New Year (February 2016), China Post issued this set of 20 connected postcards, each one measuring 4″ x 9-1/2″, so this entire item when stretched out measures ~190″ or ~480 cm.  What you see in this scan is the cover.  Scan 20307815B shows parts of two cards.  This whole thing is one very long panorama with a monkey theme suitable to the New Year.  Each individual card has pre-printed postage and a number showing where the card fits in the sequence (as in 20-1, 20-2, and so on).  And each card has a printed separation about two-thirds of the way along the reverse.  Anyway, if you would like to see how this works, ask us and we will scan for you.  Unused.  Grade: 1
