Kowloon, Nathan Road
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
-
fluid
An unused ad card that doesn’t seem like an ad card. Grade: 1
-
Hong Kong Disneyland (set of 5)
Not to be confused with our other sets of three cards, this is a (scarcer) set of five, in its original wrap. We have scanned the back instead of the front–and deleted the original retail price–because it shows miniatures of all five cards. Very iconic Hong Kong, indeed, and hard to get. Grade: 1
-
Hong Kong Science Museum (set of 6)
An open, but complete, set of six unused cards produced by the Science Museum in conjunction with the long-gone Urban Council. The scan shows the paper sleeve (upper left) and three of the six cards. The other three cards include a relief model of Hong Kong’s land area, a security robot on patrol in the museum, and “images made from the synchronization of a series of time-lapsed images taken by camera”. The aircraft, not incidentally, is “Betsy,” a DC-3 built in 1942 and the first plane of Cathay Pacific Airways. Grade: 1
-
The Peak, I (heart) You – The Peak Tram
This unused 5-1/8″ x 6-5/8″ card issued by Peak Tramways Company literally required us to go to Victoria Peak and spend money on other things we didn’t want, so we could then get these. Grade: 1
-
The Peak, I (heart) You
This unused 5-1/8″ x 6-5/8″ card issued by Peak Tramways Company literally required us to go to Victoria Peak, spend money on other things we didn’t want, so we could then get these. Grade: 1
-
Lamma Island harbour
Unused card, 5-1/8″ x 7-1/8″. Grade: 1
-
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
-
Tsing Ma Bridge
Hong Kong’s most famous bridge, connecting the city with the airport. Unused 5-1/8″ x 7″ card. Grade: 1
-
Two IFC at night

Hongkong Postcard Set Night 1 (set of 12?)
A set of (they say 12) unused 5-1/8″ x 7″ glossy cards in their original wrapper, unopened. The scan shows what should be the cards, but only 11 views. The 12th must be a mystery. We have cut out a little information from the lower right of the scan, nothing that affects the set. Grade: 1
-
Hong Kong by day & night (set of 12)
Unopened set of 12 cards whose cover measures about 5-1/2″ x 7-1/4″. Grade: 1

Ngong Ping, Skyrail
After a rocky start, this facility got its act together. Even so, it is not for someone who’s afraid of heights. Unused 5-1/8″ x 7-1/8″ card. Grade: 1
-
Inclusive Arts (set of 4)
This is a set of four cards issued by Hongkong Post as its “Postage Prepaid Picture Card Series No. 49”. All four cards are different; the scan shows just one. In maximum card style (but these are not maximum cards), the pre-printed postage matches the card. We have three unused sets available. One has no postmarks (Grade: 1, $9). One has special first-day-of-issue Inclusive Arts postmarks in the shape of an artist’s pallette (Grade: 1, $14). One has Hong Kong GPO first-day postmarks (Grade: 1, $12).

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
-
Star Ferry and Golden Bauhinia 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 have deleted the original price in the top corner of the scan. It’s still on the wrapper, though. Grade: 1

Hong Kong Vintage Posting Box by Chocolate Rain (set)
It is odd for Hongkong Post to issue something like this, but they did, so we will describe what we have. They are books of postcards, bound into a softcover sets of which you see the cover here. The whole thing measures 5-1/2″ x 9-1/2″ x about 1/4″ and is heavy. Of the 17 pages in each set, 16 are postcards (in the similar style as this photo) and one is a sort of introductory page of the same size, but not a postcard. Hope that’s clear. These are odd. Special postage rate will apply: please ask us. Grade: 1
-
Dinosaur (3D) (set of 6)
This is a set of six different 3D cards, printed on exceptionally heavy stock. What you see in the photo is one card, and one sample reverse: each card has pre-printed postage. We have several different sets. Two sets have the postmark you see in the scan (Grades: 1, US$34). Two sets have a different “GPO” postmark (Grades: 1, US$34). Two sets have no postmark (Grades: 1, US$29).
-
Hong Kong Police insignia being removed
Unused card dating from the handover of Hong Kong from Great Britain to China in 1997. 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
-
Hong Kong Disneyland (set of 3) (3D)
We waited a long time for these, and were not certain they would ever appear. It’s an (unused) set of three 3D cards (lenticular printing) showing stylised Hong Kong scenes. You already know that 3D cards don’t scan very well, but we show the fronts of all three, and the typical reverse of one. In the original packaging. Grade: 1
-
Hong Kong Museums Collection, WU Guanzhong (set of 7)
To be precise, this is Hongkong Post’s “Postage Prepaid Picture Card Series No. 51” and is a set of seven unused cards issued on 17 June 2014; the scan only shows one. We now have five sets available, and all are Grade: 1. One set has no postmarks ($14). Two sets have a first-day “G.P.O.” postmark ($16), and two sets have a special pictorial “Hong Kong Museums Collection” postmark ($18).
