  • Szechuan, Shuzheng Valley, Nuorilang Fall

    Lots to say about this terrific maximum card.  First, we’re not 100% certain of how we have described the location.  There’s a Chinese caption on the reverse that would be correct, but we got what we know from Google.  Next, the stamp and postmark on the front (from 2009) are real.  Next, the reverse has four stamps and three postmarks, so basically this card has everything.  Grade: 1
