Yuen Long, Fairview Park
Unused card of an absolutely atypical private housing estate. Grade: 1
-
Tsim Sha Tsui, Cultural Centre and Star Ferry Pier
When the old Kai Tak Airport closed in 1998, height restrictions on building in this area were lifted, and so a similar photo now would show all the tall buildings that have gone up since this card was made. Remarkable. Unused card. Grade: 1
-
Tuen Mun, Gold Beach of Gold Coast
Unused card. Grade: 1
-
Tai Po Industrial Estate and Tai Po Gas Factory
An odd choice of subjects for a tourist card, but there you have it. Unused card. Grade: 1

-
The Redhill Peninsula
Unused card. Grade: 1

Hong Kong Tea Museum – Production of Ceramics (set)
This set of 12 unused cards comes in a sort of Zip-Loc thick plastic case, which we have tried to show in the scan, which itself shows the reverse of the set and therefore all of the cards. The Tea Museum is a wonderful place tucked away in Hong Kong Park, and the building it’s in has a long and colourful history as well. Unused cards. Grade: 1
-
Hong Kong Tea Museum – Production of Tea (set of 12)
This set of 12 unused cards comes in a sort of Zip-Loc thick plastic case, which we have tried to show in the scan, which itself shows the reverse of the set and therefore all of the cards. The Tea Museum is a wonderful place tucked away in Hong Kong Park, and the building it’s in has a long and colourful history as well. Unused cards. Grade: 1
-

Four of these unused cards are available. Three have this white border; one has no border. Grades: 1
-

-
Working Dogs in Government Services (Maximum Cards) (set)
Issued by Hongkong Post in 2012, this is a set of six different cards, each showing a different breed of dog with corresponding Maximum Card stamp. Of the six sets we have available now, two have special “Working Dogs in Government Services” postmarks; two have special “Philatelic Bureau” postmarks; and two have “GPO” postmarks.

-
MTR map
“Legitimate” MTR map cards do not exist in Hong Kong. An online company in China either does or did offer these for sale, and we were very lucky (and grateful) to get this one, mailed to us from inside Hong Kong in 2012 with stamp and postmark–along with major postmark transfer on the front. We suspect these would be good sellers if they were commercially available here, though they would need frequent updating. Grade: 3
-

Unused card. Grade: 1
-
The Hong Kong International Airport (Kai Tak) & Ngau Tau Kok / Kwun Tong
Unused card of the airport that closed in 1998. Grade: 1
-
Historical Postcard Collections of Hong Kong (set of 15)
Sealed in the original cello-wrap, so we do not know exactly what cards are inside. The front says “Aerial View Collection of Hong Kong / The Beautiful Hong Kong,” and the reverse (not shown) says there are 15 postcards, and displays what may be more of them than what you see on the front. Grade: 1
-
Aerial view of Tai Koo Shing
Private housing estate. Unused card, Grade: 1
-
Eastern Cross Harbour Tunnel, Quarry Bay
The second of three major tunnels linking Hong Kong Island with Kowloon. Grade: 1

-
Yuen Long Industrial Estate & Sewage Treatment Works, N.T.
An arguably odd choice of topics for a postcard, but nonetheless, here they are. We have two. One is unused (Grade: 1, $3) and the other was mailed with five stamps, four of which have borders, and an airmail sticker along with three postmarks (Grade: 1, $6).
-
KCR Railway and Tai Po Sewage Treatment Works

-
Middel (sic) Stair of The Statue of the Buddha & Po Lin Monastery at Lan Tau Island
If you are climbing the steps to what is billed as the world’s largest, seated, outdoor, bronze Buddha, you can turn around and see this view. Unused card. Grade: 1
-
Multiple views
Mailed from San Francisco (not Hong Kong!) in 1988 with three US stamps, postmark, and an abrasion in the address area that does not really affect any printing. Grade: 4
-
Hong Kong Delicacies (3D) (set)
Long explanation follows for these amazing cards. Each set has four 4-1/4″ x 7-3/8″ cards, lenticular printing (3D) on heavy, heavy stock. Each of the four cards has a food or drink typical of Hong Kong, and each card has a pre-printed stamp corresponding to the picture–like a Maximum Card, but not quite the same. Hong Kong Post defines these as “Postage Prepaid Picture Card Series No. 48,” with the pre-printed stamp valid for airmail to anywhere.
We have 11 of these sets in total. All are in their original cellophane wrap. Five sets have no postmark. Two sets have the special “Hong Kong GPO” postmark. Two sets have a special “Philatelic Bureau” postmark. The other two sets have a special “Hong Kong Delicacies” postmark. Those without postmarks are US$22 per set. Those with postmarks are US$26 per set (first day of issue). Feel free to ask for more details, though we’re not sure what else we can say. All are Grade: 1.
