For horse racing fans everywhere … if you’ve not heard how its done in Malaysia, it’s worth surfing around to find out. Three mailed cards are available, all from 1990. All: Grade: 1

Two cards available, mailed five years apart. One from 1986 has Selangor stamp, full postmark, and a small crinkle on upper left front corner (Grade: 2, $4). One from 1991 has stamp but no legible postmark; also pencilled notation of original price of card on reverse, and a postmark smudge on front (Grade: 3, $3).

Two cards mailed in early 90s are available. One has Perak stamp, illegible postmark, and clean front (Grade: 2, $4). The other has a slightly better postmark but also a bit of smudge on front (Grade: 3, $3.50).

Like some other places in Malaysia, Trengganu spells itself in different ways. We just follow the cards. Two from 1991 are here: one with stamp and full postmark (Grade: 1, $4) and the other just with less of a postmark (Grade: 2, $4).

For those unfamiliar, this is a fishing village on the peninsular east coast. Three identical cards are available, all from 1991 and all with stamp and almost-legible postmark. They also have some extra handwriting made by the sender in Jawi (Arabic) script. Nice cards. Grades: 1

Four cards are available, mailed several years apart. Ask details if you’re interested. Grades 1,2,3,3.

Mailed.  Grade: 2

Rare addition for collectors of lighthouse cards, and yes, Malaysia has more than one. Here there are three cards available, mailed in 1991, one with full postmark (Grade: 1, $6) and two with partial marks (Grades: 2, $5.50).

We like these little ironies. It’s entirely possible for there to be a sunset along the east coast but we wouldn’t normally think in those terms. Anyway … card mailed in 1986, stamp and partial postmark, some ink smudge on front. Grade: 3

We had some wonderful (hebat!) times in this area. Two cards, mailed five years apart, with stamp and partial postmarks. One Grade 2 ($4) and one Grade 3 ($3.50).

Two of these are available, both in the same general condition. They were mailed in 1991 and have stamps but not legible postmarks. We remember these New Year events–Petaling Street now has a big blue roof over it, and it’s not the same! Grade: 2
