  • Kaohsiung, Dragon and Tiger Pagodas

  • Yushan National Park

    For whatever reason, the writer felt the need to register this postcard, which accounts for all these stickers on the front.  There are no further stamps on the reverse, just a long message.  Of course we cannot give this card a high grade, but if you enjoy this kind of varietal, here it is.  Grade: 5

  • Green Island Scenery

    We aren’t certain whether this card was commercially produced, or self-made by the writer, because the reverse has no caption or printing–just two stamps (with postmark), two small stickers, and message.  Grade: 3
