Hong Kong Museums Collection: Bamboo Carvings (set of six) – box
This is a set of six cards, in a very sturdy cardboard box that almost feels like wood. Our scan shows the front of the box; see 20308789B for sample cards. It’s Hongkong Post’s “Postage Prepaid Picture Card Series No. 57,” and each card has pre-printed, coloured, global postage and a special first-day-of-issue (14 November 2017) postmark. Our other scan shows you the examples of how one front and one reverse look, but of course all six cards are different within a similar theme. Grade: 1
-

Having a moment
This is an ad card for two F&B outlets in Swire Properties’ “Star Street Precinct” of Wanchai. Looks good, right? All of that building you see on the right, with Classified and Pizza Express, is now gone — pulled down by Swire and to be replaced with something undoubtedly much larger. (We live nearby, and see daily changes.) Mailed with three different stamps and two postmarks. Grade: 1
-
Trams (A. Eichman)
An understated ad card for the photographer Andre Eichman, mailed with three different stamps and faint postmark. To make one thing clear, the stamp and postmark you see in the scan are part of the design of the card and not an actual attached stamp. What’s on the reverse is real, of course. Grade: 1
