Discovery Bay at Lantau Island

Code: 20308448
Price: $4.00
Tsim Sha Tsui, Kowloon
The long building extending out to the left in front is Ocean Terminal, where really large cruise ships used to berth before the harbour became too small for them. You can still spend a lot of money in the shops, though. Unused card. 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

Code: 20308453
Price: $3.00
Tuen Mun, Gold Beach of Gold Coast
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

Code: 20308461
Price: $15.00
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.

Price: $5.00
Working Dogs in Government Services
Issued by Hongkong Post in 2012, this is a set of six different cards, each showing a different breed of dog. The cards in this set have no postage on either side: they are just postcards. Eight sets are available. Grades: 1

Junk in Hong Kong Harbour
Issued by Pan American Airlines, this unused card describes the two different “luxurious” (President) and “low-cost” (Rainbow) services Hong Kong enjoyed. An iconic card from the jewel in Pan Am’s empire. Grade: 1

Code: 20308467
Price: $29.00
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

Code: 20308469
Price: $7.00

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

Code: 20308472
Price: $29.00
Aerial view of Tai Koo Shing
Private housing estate. Unused card, 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).

Code: 20308481
Price: $3.00
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.
