  • 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

    Well, you won’t find these among the tourist stalls at Badaling or Mutianyu.  A set of nine maximum cards, for which our scan shows you the front cardboard cover and one sample card.  The cards themselves have a textured surface and are about as classic as you could ever hope to find.  We went back to the issuing post office right after receiving these, but they were already sold out.  Any collection of worldwide postcards will benefit from these terrific views of the Great Wall.  Grade: 1

  • Beautiful (set of 10) – cover

    This set came out in 1986.  The major Chinese character on the front means “beautiful”, it’s about good luck for the new year, and as you will see in 20307872B, there are Disney and other cartoon characters on the reverse of each card.  However all these ten unused cards show scenery.  The cover is beaten up a bit, but the cards are in good condition, so we will assign Grade: 2
