There’s no caption on this unused card, which is meant to represent any generic big city. But we know where it is, because we go by that exact spot often. Unused card. Grade: 1

The Peak, I (heart) You – The Peak Tram

Lamma Island, Hongkong Electric
Unused card, 5-1/8″ x 7-1/8″. First-time visitors are often shocked at how this facility looms over everything on this resort island. After an hour or so, you barely notice it. Grade: 1

Hong Kong’s most famous bridge, connecting the city with the airport. Unused 5-1/8″ x 7″ card. Grade: 1
-

Ngong Ping, Skyrail

-
Ngong Ping Buddha and Wanchai Convention Centre, 3D card in frame
One unused card in a cardboard frame with a push-out stand on the back so it can sit on your desk like a framed photo. Scanning 3D cards clearly isn’t really possible, and here you can see elements of both photos through the lenticular printing. All this is still enclosed in the original plastic wrap, and we deleted the original price in the top corner of the scan. It’s still on the wrapper, though. Grade: 1
-

Wishing Tree in Tai Po
You will find older, bigger, or stranger cards than this 5-1/8″ x 7″ example, but you will never find one more colourful. Mailed in 2012 with “Lighthouse” stamp and postmark. The tree, by the way, is now dead — a victim of its own success. Grade: 1

Unused, Official Souvenir Postcard issued by The Amateur Sports Federation & Olympic Committee of Hong Kong on 29 October 1996. This is Lee Lai Shan (“San San”), a windsurfer until now one of three Olympic medal winners from Hong Kong and the only one to achieve gold. Unaccountably, the card chose not to identify her. But we did. Grade: 1
-
Kai Tak Airport, with ticket cover
Unused card issued by the MTR Corporation (Hong Kong’s mass transit railway) some time before 1998, which is when Kai Tak Airport closed. The area on the front is the sleeve for a souvenir ticket, which is not there now. Only because of that, Grade: 5
-
Shatin, Amah Rock
Not postally used, with a long message from 1969 written on the back, and black “photo corners” from an album, on two of the four corners. Grade: 5
-
Bubba Gump

-
Chinese Zodiac Bus (set of 12)
We don’t recall ever seeing these specially decorated busses on the road, but they must have been or they would not be on these cards. One bus for each animal in the zodiac, though as a reminder these are busses in Hong Kong and not on the mainland. Two of these sets of 12 are available. Grades: 1
-
Historical Postcard Collections of Hong Kong (set of 32)
Probably produced in the mid-to-late 1980s, this collection of unused cards includes a wide variety of urban scenes, including but not limited to: urban overviews of different districts, Repulse Bay, the Tsim Sha Tsui clock tower, Hong Kong University, Hong Kong Government Football Stadium, Shatin Race Course, and many more. Because the views are often not very touristic, postcards like these are very hard to come by. Trust us on that. Grade: 1
-
Historical Postcard Collections of Hong Kong – City Focus – Vol. 11 (set of 28)
A set of 28 unused cards, showing some wear around the edges (even though it’s bound), with focus on Wanchai and Causeway Bay and occasional glimpses into other areas of Hong Kong Island. There will be no cards like these again. Grade: 2
