  • The Rubber Duck at the Star Ferry Pier, Tsim Sha Tsui

    This artwork caused quite a splash (sorry, couldn’t resist that) when it appeared in Hong Kong Harbour briefly during May and June, 2013.  We despaired of ever seeing postcards of this one-time event, but here they are, and nice ones, too.  We have two of these 5-1/8″ x 6-7/8″ cards, both unused.  (The duck came back in 2023, with a friend, but we haven’t seen any cards of that yet.)  Grades: 1

    Nice picture though in real life it isn’t quite as bright as this.  The card was mailed in 2013, with stamp and postmark — though note carefully that it was mailed from Malaysia to Hong Kong (with stamp and postmark) and not the other way around.  Grade: 4

  • Jetway Express Ltd. map

    We had great fun trying to nail down the date this unused ad card might have been designed.  It still shows the old HSBC HQ in Central, so that makes it pre-1985.  Though there are many other clues, we’ll leave those to you.  Grade: 1

  • Umbrella Movement – ribbons at night

    Starting a series of unused cards that came out during Hong Kong’s 2014 demonstrations against a political reform proposal that would have changed the way Hong Kong’s Chief Executive was elected.   Occasionally violent, often confusing, always colourful and noisy, the demonstration ended after 70+ days and the proposal was eventually defeated in 2015, though it’s doubtful that happened because of these demonstrations.  The cards show various scenes around the city, with yellow umbrellas being one of the iconic symbols.  All cards have the same design (yellow ribbon logo and more umbrellas) on the reverse.  All are Grade: 1
