-
Hong Kong Olympic Team 1996 – four sports
It just seems best that we reproduce the entire caption since it applies to the next few cards in this sequence also. Here goes: “First day of issue: 29 October 1996. Official Souvenir Postcard issued by the Amateur Sports Federation & Olympic Committee of Hong Kong to congratulate the outstanding achievements of the Hong Kong Olympic Team at the Centennial Olympic Games, 1996.” (That’s also in Chinese.) Unused, and note that cards in this sequence do *not* have preprinted postage. Grade: 1

Symphony of Lights
A nightly laser show for tourists, on display in this unused 5-1/8″ x 7″ postcard that we like so much that for awhile we made it the lead image on our home page. It was just a bit dark for that. Grade: 1
-
Multiple Views (292)
Unused 5-1/8″ x 7″ card. Grade: 1
-
Hong Kong – large letter
The 21st-century version of a 20th-century iconic postcard format, the “large letter”. It’s an unused, 5-1/8″ x 7″ postcard with Victoria Harbour and skyline views. Grade: 1
-
Six Views (238)
A somewhat busy, unused, 5-1/8″ x 7″ card. Grade: 1
-
Madame Tussauds
Not all that easy to get, we had to go up to Victoria Peak, to the Madame Tussauds souvenir shop, and these unused cards were sort of tucked away. Considering we were the only people anywhere around due to the pandemic shutdown, it’s a minor miracle the shop was open at all. Grades: 1
-
Hong Kong Disneyland – The Most Magical Show
The item contains a round sticker of Mickey, and a postcard, each in its own original Cello-wrap. The left part of our scan shows what it looks like when the sticker (not stuck!) lays over the postcard. The right part of the scan is what it looks like if we flip the sticker up so you can see the (unused) card. That blank white circle is just the back of the sticker as flipped — it’s not a flaw. The postcard does specify HK Disneyland on the back. Grade: 1
-

Hong Kong Disneyland – Castle of Magical Dreams (set of 13)
To be precise, “13 Royal Fairytales and Postcards,” which we want to assume means at least 13 postcards in this set — but it is in its original Cello-wrap and we have not opened that. Evidence is in our scan: on the left, the front of the pack. On the right, most of the back (showing those cards?) but with original pricing cut off at the bottom so as not to confuse you. This set is unique to Hong Kong Disneyland, and without free-standing shops here, you need to go there to get the cards. Grade: 1
-
Hong Kong Palace Museum (set of 8)
Issued in 2022 as “Postage Prepaid Picture Card Series No. 69”, these unused cards have coloured airmail postage printed. The set is undisturbed in its original plastic wrap (Grade: 1, $22). Then we have one more set where each card has a special philatelic postmark (Grade: 1, $24).

-

Another in a series of similar views on this unused Tourists Card 006 measuring 5-1/2″ x 7″. Grade: 1
-
Hong Kong & Kowloon from the Peak
Good luck getting this to its destination undamaged — unless we pack it for you. Unused card measuring 4″ x 11″. Grade: 1
-
Dinosaurs (set of 6)
Showing you the front of one of the six cards (still in its plastic wrap) and the reverse of another (that barcode and pricing is on the wrap, not the card), with a typical philatelic postmark. Issued by Hongkong Post in November 2022, this is Postage Prepaid Picture Card Series No. 70, and the postage is pre-printed. Grade: 1
-
Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre
This unused card is a specialty item, made from bamboo. It’s in its original cellowrap. Grade: 1
-
Street Scene
Artwork by Kwok Cheung Sing on this unused 5-1/2″ x 7″ Tourists Cards 306. By the way, that large white sign with red characters in the upper right is a provision shop dealing in bird’s nests. Grade: 1
-
Central and North Wanchai at Night
This is unused 5″ x 7″ card WYY 245. More Wanchai and Admiralty than Central, but that’s OK. Grade: 1
-
Day Scene from Kowloon
Maybe this was once a “Day Scene” but it has been a long time now that bat wing junks (those red sails) are gone, at least from anywhere near Hong Kong. Unused 5-1/2″ x 7″ Tourists Cards 079. Grade: 1
-
Victoria Harbour 046
This 5-1/2″ x 7″ Tourists Cards 046 is captioned “Victoria Harbour View from Peak” but that’s wrong. It’s a view OF The Peak in the distant background from Kowloon’s Ocean Terminal. Grade: 1
-
Boat People at Aberdeen fishing village
This type of scene is now to be found only on postcards, where it is undeniably safer and healthier than before. Unused 5-1/2″ x 7″ card 013 from Tourists Cards. Grade: 1
-
Panoramic view of Hong Kong after dark
Unused card 310 from Tourists Cards, 5″ x 7″. Grade: 1
-

Unused 5″ x 7″ card WYY 230. Grade: 1
-
Street Scene of Wanchai
The view in this unused, 5-1/2″ x 7″ Tourists Cards 007 looks new, but because we live about ten minutes’ walk from this location, we can tell you it doesn’t look at all like this now. Many — not all — taxis are still red, though. Grade: 1
-
Harbour View at Evening
Unused 5-1/2″ x 7″ Tourists Cards 309. To be specific, the view is of Central District of Hong Kong Island, and some of the world’s tallest buildings are in this shot. Grade: 1
