Chinese actors (Maximum cards) – example (set)
Wow. Issued in 2007 by China National Philatelic Corporation (and postmarked accordingly), this set of six unused Maximum cards is captioned entirely in Chinese but shows traditional actors. The cards themselves are embossed, and the overall effect is stunning. This scan shows one of the cards. Grade: 1

Peaks Waking up from a dream (Mt. Shizong)
Two cards are available. One was mailed from Shenzhen to Hong Kong in 2011, and would be a nice card but has been heavily folded vertically through the middle so it did not survive the short trip (Grade: 5, $0.50). The other was mailed from Hong Kong in 1992 with six stamps (five are the same) and partly legible postmark (Grade: 4, $3).

Shenzhen 2011 Summer Universiade – Photo A (multiple items)
Please read this description carefully. The item measures 11-5/8″ x 16-5/8″ and is in its original shrink wrap, unopened. It is also about 1/2″ thick. It is very, very sturdy cardboard casing. The front includes a jigsaw puzzle and we think the inside includes three maximum postcards as well as another jigsaw–but we are not going to disturb the shrink wrap to find out. We got this in Shenzhen. The title says “Let’s put it together!” Photo 20307377B shows the other half of the front. Grade: 1

General View of Canton, China
Unattributed and unused early 20th-century card. Whether it was made for sale to expatriates in China or in USA, we can’t say, but we suspect the latter because of instructions in the postage section. Grade: 2

Each card has a different musician, identified as Ma Sicong, He Luting, Liu Tianhua, and Xiao Youmei. That large red area says “extreme postcard”, which we think is the same intention as “maximum cards”. Issued in 2012 by China Post. Grade: 1

Shenzhen Grand View (folio) – cover
This particular item measures 7-1/2″ x 7-7/8″ x 1/4″ thick. It looks like a menu in an upscale restaurant in China. Open it to find the first two pages each with a postcard whose front is entirely Chinese text, and whose reverse has pre-printed postage. There are five solid pages (12 facings overall), with a postcard representing one part of a long panoramic art view of Shenzhen. Above the card on each page (in a plastic sleeve) is a stamp matching that particular card. So these are like Maximum Cards, but the stamp is above the card, not on it, and not postmarked. And more pre-printed postage on each card’s reverse. Grade: 1

Shenzhen Grand View Conjoined Stamped Post Card (boxed)
Please read what we wrote for item 20307386, then imagine all of those cards attached as one very long horizontal card. They (it) are in this hard box, measuring 6-1/4″ x 8-3/4″ x 1″. Odd postcards indeed … Inside the box, an ornate certificate (all in Chinese) and the “card” itself, in foldout format, with a nice introduction in English explaining that this extraordinary card is crafted from a scroll painting “which takes cityscape as the creation subject in Chinese history.” The scroll itself is 18 meters long and 0.85 meters wide; the card is not that long of course, but “starts from Dapeng Peninsula in Longgang Town in the east, and Baoan International Airport in the west.” The card is the length of 19 normal postcards. Grade: 1

90 Years 1921-2011, boxed set
We will start with the hard box, measuring about 6″ x 11″ x 2-1/4″. This is what you see in the scan. Open the flap, and it unfolds on both sides to reveal an inner box containing another hard but semi-open container in a cardboard sleeve. Inside this: a 2″ pile of conjoined postcards, each with pre-printed postage and a large extra connected tab with full explanations of each card–but only in Chinese. No, we have not extended this long string of cards to its full length to count them. If you’re interested, please ask. The cards seem to represent everything that happened in China for those 90 years. It is impressive. Grade: 1
