  • 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

  • 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
