Historical Postcard Collections of Hong Kong (set of 32)
We’re supposing this set was produced in the 1980s, from old photos. The cellowrap is gone but all 32 sepia unused cards are still bound in, and span a vast and interesting cross-section of places and themes, military, education, cemetery, ships, construction, waterfronts … so much. We will list this set in several theme categories, though without further explanation, so if it’s in a category you can be certain at least one card (but not all) meets the requirements. You will hardly find this set anywhere else–very scarce now. Because a price sticker lies over the original printed price, we’re assigning Grade: 2.

Hong Kong Pop Singers (set of five)
Five cards, five singers: Anita Mui, Leslie Cheung, Danny Chan, Roman Tam, Wong Ka Kui — all now deceased, and commemorated on this “Postage Prepaid Picture Card Series No. 31” from 2005, with matching postage pre-printed on the reverses. We only can show one card because of the way they were originally bound together, but if you want more information, please ask. Grade: 1

Price: $11.00
Hong Kong Disneyland 10th Anniversary (foil) (set of 5)
We can show you two fronts and one reverse of the five foil-backed cards in this sealed set, original packaging. Issued for Hong Kong Disneyland’s 10th Anniversary, they show teams from Pixar, Winnie the Pooh, Mr. Potato Head, and so on. Grade: 1

Code: 20308692
Price: $47.00
Architecture (set of 6)
Each item in the set (Hong Kong Government’s “Postage Prepaid Picture Card Series No. 54”) has a different postage denomination, and they all fold out in the way you can see. The back of each item looks like a postcard, with pre-printed postage postmarked on the first day of issue (31 March 2016), but it is stretching things to call these “postcards”. Regardless, we have this one set available, unused. Those black areas are just to remove some glare from the scan. No deep meaning! Grade: 1

Code: 20308693
Price: $24.00
Hong Kong Disneyland (set of 3)
Each card is individually wrapped and then all connected at the top as you see in the scan — two of the three cards. The third card is of Goofy pulling a rickshaw with Mickey and Minnie in it, along “Hollywood Road”. Unused, unopened. Grade: 1

Code: 20308694
Price: $27.00
Causeway Bay, A typical Hong Kong street scene
Judging from visual clues: the add-on tram car, the van’s number plate, and most of all, our own memory, we would place this photo in the early 1970s. But the card was mailed in 2015, with four different stamps (two commemorative), two philatelic postmarks, and blue trilingual airmail label. You can spot Tram 34. Grade: 1

Code: 20308695

“Seawise University” on fire, 9 Jan. 1972
First, about the card: unused, with some smudging around the edges and on the back. (Not serious, but there.) Now, about the event, we’ll borrow from Wikipedia’s entry about what had been the passenger and mail vessel RMS Queen Elizabeth: “Queen Elizabeth was sold to a succession of buyers, most of whom had adventurous and unsuccessful plans for her. Finally she was sold to a Hong Kong businessman, Tung Chao Yung, who intended to convert her into a floating university cruise ship. In 1972, while undergoing refurbishment in Hong Kong harbour, she caught fire under mysterious circumstances and was capsized by the water used to fight the fire. In 1973, her wreck was deemed an obstruction, and she was partially scrapped where she lay.” Grade: 2

Code: 20308696

1906 typhoon (set of 9)
A set of nine unused B&W modern cards issued by the Hong Kong Maritime Museum and commemorating a disastrous typhoon in 1906. The bilingual captions don’t seem to want to reveal the exact date but it’s very easy to deduce that. Our scan shows four of the cards. Grade: 1

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
