Panda
Could anything be more iconic of China, except maybe the Great Wall? A 4-7/8″ x 6-3/4″ card, mailed from Nanjing in 2011, with stamp and full postmark. Grade: 1

Code: 20307241
Price: $5.00
English flower market
So why China? Because the card has a Chinese caption, and was mailed in China in 2011 with two large stamps and full postmark. Grade: 2

Code: 20307242
Price: $0.50
Expo 2010 Shanghai
Large (5″ x 8-1/4″) card somewhat battered after having been mailed in 2011 with six identical stamps. Two barely readable postmarks, and red bilingual Par Avion chop. This card shows the China Pavilion at this recent well-publicised event. Grade: 3

Price: $6.00
Shenzhen 2011 Summer Universiade Mascot (folio of 24)
This item measures 6-1/8″ x 7-5/8″ and is in the condition we received it directly from China Post. A paper slide-through sleeve contains a box holding 24 (unused) cartoonish cards on special paper stock, with each card showing a different sport, such as Rhythmic Gymnastics or Shooting, from these games. The cards are each pre-printed with 80 fen postage. Cards themselves are all Grade: 1, but the container is battered and falling apart, so we will give it Grade: 2- overall.

Universiade Shenzhen 2011 stadiums (folio)
This item measures 5-1/8″ x 7-1/2″ and is in the condition we received it directly from China Post. A paper slide-through sleeve with a cellophane window contains a box holding eight (unused) cards, with each card showing a different stadium or sporting venue from these games. All captions are Chinese-language only. The cards are each pre-printed with 80 fen postage. They are not “Maximum Cards” but do have pictorial representations of the same photo as stamps on the front. Cards themselves are all Grade: 1, but the container is bent and has slight tears, so we will give it Grade: 2 ($22). We may have two more sets, in better condition (Grades: 1, $26) but need to verify availability.

Price: $29.00
The 26th Summer Universiade, Shenzhen (set)
This item measures 4″ x 6″. A paper slide-through sleeve with a cellophane window contains six (unused) cards, with each card embossed and showing a different mood of the mascot for these games: Brave, Overjoyed, Proud, Curious, Clever, and–apparently–Happy. The cards are each pre-printed with 80 fen postage. There’s also a special holographic sticker of authenticity on the reverse cover. Ask us and we’ll be happy to scan one of the sample cards for you. Grade: 1.

Price: $14.00
The 26th Shenzhen Summer Universiade Venues, Sculpture Postcards (set of 10)
It’s a set of ten cards with artistic renditions of sporting stadiums and venues for the summer games. Each card is like a Maximum Card by having a stamp from the games on the front, but the stamp is the same on each card and has the cartoon mascot. Next to the stamp is a small actual photo of the larger artwork on the front of each card. There is no postage pre-printed on the reverse (no need), but details of the designer, engraver, authorizations, etc. All of these are packed in a very hard and thick cardboard box, which is what you see in the scan. An attached ribbon helps open the lid. This is very durable; the reverse of the cover explains the games and these “engraving postcards” in Chinese and English, and also has a holographic sticker vouching for authenticity. That’s all we can say! Grade: 1

Code: 20307248
Price: $45.00
Luoyang, Long Men Museum
Mailed in 2011 with two different stamps and full postmark. The caption explaining this item is in Chinese. Grade: 2

Code: 20307249
Price: $4.00
Tibetan Folklore
Mailed in 2011, this card has a massive stamp, partial postmark, and some water staining on the message that caused it to run a bit. Grade: 2

Code: 20307250
Price: $3.00
Shanghai, towers
From arguably the most dynamic city in the world (think “Jetsons”), a wonderful art card mailed in 2010 with stamp and special commemorative postmarks. Grade: 1

Code: 20307251
Price: $7.00
Xian, Bell Tower
Not postally used but with an extensive message (in Chinese) on the reverse and with a red Chinese “chop” imprint. Grade: 4

Code: 20307252
Price: $3.00
Beijing 2008 Olympics pre-issue Maximum set (folio of 6)
The set measures 5-5/8″ x 8-1/4″ overall (the cards are not this big) and is made so that it can sit upright on a table, like a picture in a frame. The set contains six different cards, similar to what you see here. They are “Maximum Cards” in that the affixed stamps represent the same sport as the card they are on, even if artwork is different. Unused and in exactly the same condition and wrapping as received from China Post. Official Olympics logo on a sticker on the back. Grade: 1

Code: 20307253
Price: $40.00
1956 postcards of China (set of 12)
Twelve unused, coloured postcards are wrapped in a torn and somewhat flimsy paper cover as you see, with the pencilled notation on the front. The Chinese-language caption on the reverse of the cover suggests that 70,000 of these sets were produced in 1956. Each card has an identifying caption also, but only in Chinese, mostly rural images of scenery, temples, and the like. The cards are OK; it’s only the paper cover (called “West Lake”) that shows wear. Grade: 3

Code: 20307256
Price: $36.00
Guilin, Dreamlike Lijiang ballet
We have a short series of cards detached from a folio, so they each have one perforated edge. With some clever effort they could be used as postcards, but really the reverses are filled with explanatory captions in Chinese and English. They are what they are. Grade: 1

Code: 20307257
Price: $1.00
Guilin, Gudong Waterfalls
We have a short series of cards detached from a folio, so they each have one perforated edge. With some clever effort they could be used as postcards, but really the reverses are filled with explanatory captions in Chinese and English. They are what they are. Grade: 1

Code: 20307258

Guilin, Shanshui Theatre

Code: 20307259
Price: $1.00
Lottery card
The national lottery. Cards are individually numbered, and this one is from 2011, so if you hurry … there’s a postmark on the back, far from the pre-printed postage. Written message also, but not postally used. Grade: 4

Code: 20307260
Price: $3.00
Guangdong Travel Tickets postcard book
This is a heavy, unused, unique item issued by China Post. First, it measures about 8-3/8″ long, by 4-7/8″ high, by 5/8″ deep. Translucent plastic encloses two things: (1) a book (entirely in Chinese) including several pages of postcards with stamps pre-printed and also alongside the cards, making them look like admission tickets to various amusement or scenic venues; also some advertising (!) and what might be a phone card, though we’re not sure; and (2) another similar but somewhat larger book doing much the same thing. We have not seen anything like this before. But it looks like it would get you into almost anything of interest in the entire Guangdong Province, and postcards are at the heart of it all. Magnificent! Grade: 1.

Code: 20307261
Price: $69.00
Chinese Elements (set)
This is a set of ten detached postcards, issued by China Post, each with postage pre-printed on the reverse. Bilingual captions (Chinese and English) on each card explain the relevance of such traditional activities (“elements”) as Chinese tea culture, Peking Opera, and Blue and White porcelain. Most of the cards portray repeating patterns of whatever they describe. Which–in itself–makes this hard to describe, but it’s a very nice, even elegant, set of postcards. And two sets are available. Grades: 1

Code: 20307262
Price: $19.00
Wukong, the Hero from China (set)
Issued by China Post, this is an unused booklet of little folk hero Wukong on postcards in in ten different traditional situations (including Cantonese Cuisine, Cantonese Opera, Cantonese Music, Huangpu Military Academy, and others). Each card has postage pre-printed. Three of these sets are available. Grades: 1

Code: 20307263
Price: $19.00
The Stamped Postcards for the Venues of the 16th Asian Games (set)

Code: 20307264
Price: $29.00
The stamped postcard(s) for torch relay of the 16th Asian Games (set)
The 16th Asian Games were held in Guangzhou in 2010. Like the Olympics, there was a torch relay through 21 Chinese cities. This heavy book of pre-printed stamped postcards, issued by China Post, each with its own different postmark according to city, covers all 21 of the cities hosting the torch. Each unused postcard highlights a special view of the respective city. A unique item. Grade: 1

Code: 20307265
Price: $47.00
Shenzhen, Dameisha, angels on the beach
Issued in 2009 by China Post, with pre-printed postage, and we can assure you these really are statues. Caption is in Chinese. Two of these postcards are available. Grades: 1
