Sarawak, male subjects of the Sea Dayak
Unused S.W. Singapore card #602, possibly from 1970s, as-new apart from mild aging. Any collection of Malaysia postcards should consider having one like this. Grade: 1

Code: 20316423
Price: $19.00
Sarawak, Sea Dayak maidens
S.W. Singapore card #410, unused, from roughly 1970s. Great on the front, aging significantly on reverse. Scenes like this, we feel, must be disappearing rapidly in modernizing Sarawak. Grade: 2

Code: 20316425
Price: $9.00
Kuala Lumpur, Lake Garden
Two cards are available, 1980s-era. One was never mailed, and is unmarked apart from noticeable aging on reverse (Grade: 2, $4). One was mailed in 1990, with commemorative stamp and partial postmark, and a mild corner crease (Grade: 3, $3.50).

Rajang River express boats

Code: 20316433
Price: $7.50

Dayaks dancing in the Long House
Four of these cards are available. They represent nearly the ultimate in semi-contemporary (1970s) Borneo cards. The word “Dayak” is definitely out of style now. Two cards were mailed in 1990, and have Sarawak stamp and full postmark (Grades: 1, $14) but note that though the photos are the same, the captions on reverse are different and so are the publishers. One was mailed in 1984 with three different stamps and illegible postmarks (Grade: 2, $12). The other card was never mailed and is aging but in good condition (Grade: 1, $12).

Code: 20316436

Code: 20316439
Price: $4.50
Kuala Lumpur, overview
The good news: one of the few cards from late 80s to show all of Kuala Lumpur. The bad news: these two cards, mailed in early 1990s, have smudging on the front. Otherwise, stamps and postmarks are OK. Grades: 2

Code: 20316441
Price: $4.50
Melaka, St. John’s Hill
Two cards are available, variously mailed in 1986 and 1990, though clearly of different print runs since they have different colours! The 1990 card has Melaka stamp and full postmark with some smudge on front (Grade: 2, $4) and the 1986 card is just a little less good all-around (Grade: 3, $3).

Code: 20316442
Price: $4.00
Genting Highlands, hotel, night view
S.W. Singapore card KL8502, mailed in 1991 with stamp and barely legible postmark. We’d love to launch into a long story about Genting but this is hardly the place for it! Grade: 3

Near Tioman Island
The card caption is cute, saying “The beautiful island as seen from Tioman Island.” But it doesn’t give the name. Never mind, it’s tropical. Card (5″x7″) mailed in 1991, has Wilayah Persekutan stamp, no legible postmark, and some white correction fluid on reverse. Minor postal creasing. Grade: 3
