Hong Kong Museums Collection – Pencil Drawings by Mr. KONG Kai-ming (set of 6)
A set of six unused cards in their original cellowrap. This is the Hong Kong Government’s “Postage Prepaid Picture Card Series No. 55” with pre-printed stamps, and–in this case–those stamps have been cancelled with special philatelic postmarks. Grade: 1

Code: 20308719
Price: $8.00
Harbour, Central & Kowloon from Pollock’s path
We have a special fondness for this unused 5-1/8″ x 7″ card because it is one of hardly any that shows exactly the building we live in. You only have about 1,000 buildings to choose from. Grade: 1

Code: 20308720
Price: $3.00
Happy Valley, Causeway Bay & the harbour from “the Summit”
In the case of this unused 5-1/8″ x 7″ card, “the Summit” isn’t “The Peak,” it’s a block of flats. It’s a good view of one of Hong Kong’s two large horse racing tracks. Grade: 1

Code: 20308721
Price: $3.00
Gnong (sic) Ping village & the Tian Tan Buddha of Po Lin Monastery
Unused 5-1/8″ x 7″ card, and that “Gnong” should be spelled “Ngong”. The Buddha, incidentally, is 34m high and was completed in 1993. Grade: 1

Code: 20308722
Price: $2.00
Hong Kong Central at night
Unused 5-1/8″ x 7″ card showing Des Voeux Road and Statue Square with what was Legco (Legislative Council) Building in the centre and HSBC HQ on the right. The photo would have been taken fairly late because usually there’s lots of traffic — vehicular and pedestrian — right there. Grade: 1

Code: 20308723
Price: $3.00
Chater Garden and Central from Prince’s Building
Unused 5-1/8″ x 7″ card. Most of these buildings are identified in the caption. Grade: 1

’97 Celebrating the Return of Hong Kong, The Commemorative Card of Chinese Painting Exhibition (not postcards) – cover
Other than being four plastic cards, we don’t know what these are, but they are not postcards. We offer them in case you want a collectible from the 1997 Handover. There’s an outer paper envelope (not shown here) with Chinese handwriting on the front. This envelope contains a paper folio (shown here, opened); inside (see 20308728B) are four plastic cards that look like credit cards or bank ATM cards,that seem to have been useful for discounts somewhere–at the time–but we’re not sure about that. Apart from the writing on the front envelope, an implied: Grade: 1

Ocean Park (set of 3)
This set of three unused cards is still sealed in its original wrap, so we show you the back, which has thumbnail photos of the cards inside. We excised the original price, though. (Side note: how many postcards are sold these days with legal warnings telling of a choking hazard for children under 3 years due to “sharp edges”?) Gosh … and just as odd, we were just over there and they no longer sell postcards of the Park itself. That seems strange. Grade: 1

Museum Statue
Maybe you will understand our dilemma. Maybe not. We will explain anyway. We have customers in China and we don’t want our website to be banned there. If we showed the cards in this series uncensored, we would run that risk. So we are asking you to “read between the lines,” so to speak, and imagine what might be here. If you really want to know, ask us and we can e-mail the full version. Each card in this series (which we are selling individually, and all are unused) has a sticker with a crowdfunding request on the reverse, placed at source so the stickers are not a defect. Grade: 1

Hong Kong Disneyland, irregular shapes (set of 5)
A remarkably attractive set of five sturdy (unused) cards. The scan shows you how the bundle looks from the front, and also from the back, with thumbnail views of each of the five cards. Yes, that’s the original price tag in HK$, from which we removed the original number so as not to mislead you. Grade: 1

Code: 20308737
Price: $45.00
Hong Kong Disneyland Spring Fiesta 2017 (set of 4 + sticker)
By definition, a limited edition. This is a set of four unused cards, and a separate sheet of the same size inside that is called a sticker though it looks more like a piece of paper to us. The scan shows you one card; the other three are of a similar theme/design. These are encircled by a thin cellowrap, and on the back of that there’s a design of the contents along with the original price tag covered by a bit of blue Disneyland tape showing that all this was paid for and not stolen. (This is how it works now that Hong Kong no longer offers free plastic bags.) Grade: 1

Code: 20308738
Price: $16.00
New buildings of Central and Wan Chai
Unused card from (as the caption says) the 80’s. The focus is on Wanchai, not Central, and this is another card that would show you the building where we are sitting right now and typing this–if the building had been built yet. Grade: 2

Code: 20308739
Price: $5.00
Hong Kong Disneyland 12th Anniversary set
We’re always watching for unique items from our local Disneyland, which becomes even more of a challenge with no Disney stores in town. But here’s something not to be repeated: a 12th Anniversary set of four postcards plus one sticker. Our scan shows you the front and back of this poly-wrapped set, and tape on the back is from the source. We’ve edited out the retail price from the other sticker. From 2017. Grade: 1

Code: 20308740
Price: $42.00
Evening Scene of Hong Kong Island Viewed from Causeway Bay
Older card (mailed in 1970) but very heavily aged, and stamp was torn off. Airmail sticker is there, but we’d say this card is only good for the photo. Grade: 5

Code: 20308741
Price: $1.00
Bird’s eye view of Central and Eastern District
Judging from what we know even from our own history, we think this photo dates from the early 1960s. Unused card, aging. Grade: 2

Code: 20308742
Price: $4.00
Hong Kong by night, overlooking from Kowloon
Another unused, aging card, from what we think might be the 1960s. Grade: 2

Code: 20308743
Price: $4.00
Hong Kong & Kowloon from the Peak
Seems strange to see this view without so many of the new buildings and with so many of the torn-down ones. Not to mention what’s happened with the Harbour. Unused. Highly aged. Grade: 3

Code: 20308744
Price: $4.00
Peak Tower Restaurant
Many dining options remain at Victoria Peak, but not this, not now. Unused, aged card. Grade: 3
