  • Repulse Bay Hotel (photograph)

    This series of 2.5″ x 3.5″ B&W glossy photos appear to have been used as templates for real-photo postcards. We can’t be certain of that, but the presence of captions on some of these photos suggests so. The photos had been attached to albums, so the reverses have some paper adhesions. But the fronts are all very good. And very clear, as well. Grade: 2

We can’t be certain of that, but the presence of captions on some of these photos suggests so. The photos had been attached to albums, so the reverses have some paper adhesions.

  • Hong Kong Art School graduation exhibition

    The reverse is mostly taken up by details of the exhibition, but if one was determined to send this as a postcard, it could be done. Don’t think it was meant to be one, though. Grade: 1

  • Operation Santa Claus

    This is an exceptionally worthy Hong Kong charity. Global Postcard Sales is not out to make a profit on any legitimate cause, so the entire proceeds from any sale of the five available cards will go directly to Operation Santa Claus and we will show you that we did so. Unused advertising cards. Grades: 1

  • Kwong Sang Hong 1928 new year poster (repro)

    This restorative tonic was a big thing back then. While the poster was from 1928 (and not to be confused with the similar 1927 poster we also have), the five unused cards we have are 50 or 60 years newer. Grades: 1

  • Victoria Peak, Bubba Gump Restaurant

    This one needs explanation. The whole item is 3-1/2″ x 7-1/2″. It’s a postcard on the left with perforated coupons on the right, for special offers. Issued in 2008, the card was given to customers of this restaurant on Hong Kong’s Victoria Peak. Sorry, the coupons have expired!  But as of this writing, the restaurant is, somehow, still there.  Unused. Grade: 1

  • Discovery Bay Market

    If you live in Hong Kong, you receive ads like this through the mail. They have what amounts to a pre-printed “bulk mail” stamp on the reverse, but no address, because they go to everyone. Discovery Bay is a residential area on Lantau, Hong Kong’s largest island. This card would have been from 2008. Grade: 1

  • Illegal structure

    The name refers to “a site-specific architectural installation exhibition” in 2009 as part of the Hong Kong Arts Festival. The two pieces of this card available are the size and shape of postcards but the reverse is purple with white design elements and they are not really meant to be sent through the mail. They don’t really scan very well, either. Grades: 1

    Code: 20308227

    Price: $1.00

    Illegal structure
  • Lord of the Flies

    Nine of these cards are available, for a presentation of Golding’s Lord of the Flies by the Faust International Youth Theatre. Though the reverses are almost fully printed, there is a small space available for stamp and address. So these really are postcards. Grades: 1

    Code: 20308228

  • Winston balloon

  • Kylie Minogue 2008 concert

    Oversized (5-1/2″ x 7-7/8″) advertising card mailed to Hong Kong households, with Hongkong Post’s Circular Service (bulk mail) postage pre-printed. On one side the card is Kylie, as what you see. On the other side it’s also Kylie, in an ad for Tous jewelry. This was in 2008. Grade: 1

  • Regal Airport Hotel

    Unused card of the hotel that was (at the time) “linked to Hong Kong International Airport by an air-conditioned walkway.”  Well, the airport is gone since 1998 and the hotel now has a different name.  The card, however, is here for you.  Grade: 1

  • Hongkong Hilton

    Like many other hotels in Hong Kong, this one is long gone, and missed.  It was a kind of anchor point for Central District.  This card was mailed in 1984 with two different stamps and fully legible postmark, as well as a blue tri-lingual airmail sticker (Grade: 1, $8), with another card being much the same as the other  one (Grade: 1, $8).

  • Hung Hom view

    The good news: the card was mailed in 1996 with three different stamps, blurred postmarks, and an affixed airmail sticker.  Yes, we know, that is not normally good news, but the bad news is the major white abrasion on the front (you can see in the photo) that almost seems to have been built into the card.  Regardless, Grade: 5

  • Emperor’s Andrence in the Imperial Palace

    If you go to Google to look this up, or even to define the term “andrence,” you may leave as confused as we are.  But this is a painting from the 18th century, in the collection of the Hong Kong Museum of Art, and on an unused postcard from the Mandarin Oriental Hotel.  Two cards are available.  Grades: 1
