Liu Haisu (刘海粟)
Liu Haisu (Chinese: 刘海粟; 16 March 1896 – 7 August 1994) was a prominent twentieth-century Chinese painter and a noted art educator. He excelled in Chinese painting and oil painting. We cannot tell you as much as we would like about this hardcover folio (measuring 11-1/2″ x 8-3/4″ x 1/2″) because it is still sealed in its original clear wrapping. We did see a sample copy when we got it, through China Post, and it’s like most of our other folios: a mixture of postcards, mint stamps, and stamped covers. Perhaps you can find other details online. Grade: 1

Spain, via China
Naughty. Not in the way you’re thinking, but in the presentation. This unused card comes from China, and has an extensive caption all in Chinese. But it’s not Shanghai’s Bund as it might appear. The location is somewhere in Spain. So if that’s what you want … Grade: 1

100 Old Shanghai Calendars (set of 25)
This set of 25 contemporary cards measures 7-7/8″ x 4-7/8″ x 1/2″, and because it is still sealed in the original cellowrap, we can’t verify what each individual card shows. What we CAN say is that the scan you see is the back cover of the set, and if those thumbnails represent the 25 cards, that would explain where they got the figure “100”. In any event, the set is unused. Two sets are available. Grades: 1

Shanghai Disney Resort, Grand Opening (set of 2)
We waited and waited for cards from this newest park in Disney’s empire (opened mid-2016) and then these sets turned up, not from Disney itself but from none other than the Chinese Government. Our scan shows you the fronts and reverses of both cards in the set. The stamps are real, not pre-printed, and they were on the cards when we got them at source. Note that these are not maximum cards, and we want to stress they were not issued by Disney directly. Unused. Grade: 1
