Hsinchu, Neiwan Station
Unused Fun Taiwan card P072-128, with a QR code. You’ll see a vertical line going through the upper half of the card. It shouldn’t be there, but it is in the original print and not an external scratch on this particular card. Grade: 1

Kaohsiung, Fo Guang Shan Buddha Memorial Center (set of 15)

Code: 20325302
Price: $19.00
Welcome to Fo Guang Shan Monastery (wood)
From this Buddhist Memorial Center itself, we have two of these, in their original cellowrap. The card is made of plywood, 1/4″ thick, and has a hole in the top with a small cord (included) so you can hang the card somewhere. One of these is unused (Grade: 1, $8) and the other was mailed (by us) with stamp and partial postmark. The postal clerk insisted that the stamp would not stick to the card, and demanded to put some tape across the top of the stamp to hold it in place. If we wanted to mail it then and there, we had no choice. Just FYI, the untaped part of the stamp stuck just fine (Grade: 2, $8).

Miaoli County, Sanyi Township, Remains of Longteng Bridge
When we saw this picture, we knew we had to go straight to Google. It led to this, abridged from Wikipedia: “… built in 1906 during the Japanese colonial period. It was designed by the American civil engineers Theodore Cooper and C.C. Schneider for the Japanese colonial government. The bridge was named after a local plant believed to be poisonous to fish; legends believed that a malevolent carp in a nearby lake was responsible for misfortune, and residents planted the shrub to counter the carp.

The April 1935 Hsinchu-Taichung earthquake and subsequent aftershocks in July damaged the bridge beyond repair. Several masonry arches were cracked and the north and south ends of the truss became misaligned. A new iron bridge was built in 1938, 80 meters to the west of Longteng Bridge, and the central truss was dismantled once the new bridge opened. The 1999 earthquake caused one of the remaining piers to collapse and as a result, the county government decided to rededicate the bridge’s remains as a monument to the two deadliest earthquakes in Taiwan’s history. It was placed on the list of Taiwan’s Cultural Heritage Assets on 25 November 2003.”

Cat Stories in Taiwan (set of 8)
Our scan can only show the first of the eight photos because the cards (individually wrapped) are connected at the top by a cardboard sleeve. But the shots are quirky and very high-quality. If you want to know details, just ask us. Unused set. Grade: 1

Taipei, Shilin Night Market
Possibly (we think) Taipei’s largest night market, it sprawls like a Medusa and has something for everyone, including pineapple cakes in as many different forms as you could imagine. Great way to spend an evening. Or, just buy the postcard. Unused. Grade: 1

Price: $6.00
Taipei 180-degree panoramic card
Because we have two of these, and because they are each in their original unopened cellowrap, our scan can show you the front and the back of the pack. The back of the packaging has very detailed instructions on how to open this so that the full photo is exposed. (It opens from both ends.) And there’s “info” and “story” and a stand in case you want to display this on your desk. Moreover, the very thoughtful marketing text on the outer packaging says “…it takes about 1,500,000 steps to travel around Taiwan on foot…” Who on earth counted?? Unused. Grade: 1

Code: 20325330
Price: $10.00
Street foods
Compare with our entries 20325273 and 20325332 in the same style. This unused card is littered with a “falling star” effect that looks like–but isn’t–glitter and that doesn’t show up in the scan. The cards in this style are unusual. Grade: 1

Code: 20325331
Price: $7.00
I (heart) TW – Jiufen
Compare with our entries 20325273 and 20325331 in the same style. This unused card is littered with a “falling star” effect that looks like–but isn’t–glitter and that doesn’t show up in the scan. The cards in this style are unusual. Grade: 1

Unused heart-shaped card (that really does say “I (heart) Taiwan” on the reverse) in its original packaging. Grade: 1

Code: 20325333
Price: $4.00
Kaohsiung, multiple views (group of 11)
Here’s an exceptional value if you are collecting island-shaped Taiwanese cards. We’re calling this “group of 11” instead of “set of 11” because we suspect there might be one card missing. The scan shows a cardboard cover and some of the individual cards inside, all unused and all representing Kaohsiung or the immediate area. Grade: 1

Code: 20325334

Code: 20325336
Price: $23.00
Kaohsiung, Tuntex Sky Tower on Screen Card
Different functions on one unused Screen Card, of which we have other examples scattered throughout the website. Inside the island shape, there’s a photographic positive with multiple views around the Kaohsiung area. As for the building, Wikipedia proves that it goes by several names: “Tuntex Sky Tower, or the T & C Tower or 85 Sky Tower, is an 82-story skyscraper located in Lingya District, Kaohsiung, Taiwan. The structure is 347.5 m high. An antenna pushes the building height to 378 m.” This card is in its original cellowrap. Grade: 1

Taiwan Scenery Impression (official set of 12)
We’ve unfolded the cardboard cover of this official set from Chunghwa Post to show you thumbnail shots of the 12 unused cards in this packet. After entering lots of Taiwanese cards into the website, we now have a comprehensive idea of what places you should visit if you travel there! Grade: 1

Price: $16.00
Taipei 101, aluminum
A “card” for many categories. If your eyes are sharp, you’ll see we sometimes use “aluminum” and sometimes “aluminium,” depending on what (or if) the card says. Regardless, this one also says it’s made of “Alurninurn” so all bases are covered: it’s metal. Unused, in its original cellowrap, and a unique souvenir from a distinctive location. Grade: 1

Code: 20325340
Price: $7.00
Taipei 101 Observatory – wood map
Still in its original cellowrap, with holographic sticker and another that reveals it was “Made in China” (!), this unused card has three intentional holes in it: one for a small string to help the card dangle somewhere; one indicating the location of the Taipei Main Station for trains; and then the larger hole in the shape of Taipei 101. As a novelty, quirky postcard, this one is good. Grade: 1

Price: $8.00
Sun Yat-sen (Maximum Cards) (set of 2)
Here’s a back-story for you. We were in Taipei Airport and saw that the local Chunghwa Post branch was advertising these as maximum cards, but they had no stamps. So within the boundaries of our limited Mandarin, we asked why they were called “Maximum Cards” when they plainly weren’t. The postal person pulled out a sheaf of stamps and a chop and said “what date would you like on them?” This was a novelty to us, so we just said “whatever works for you,” and this is the result. The scan shows the two cards and the cardboard cover. Unused. Grade: 1

Travel in Taiwan – Postage Stamp Pictorial (with postcards) – front cover
Here we have an (unused) hardcover set in an even harder cardboard box (8″ x 10-3/4″ x 1″) that includes a book of stamps, text, and photos; and a separate, smaller, softcover book of ten postcards. Each of those postcards can be detached from a stub showing artwork of a stamp. Please refer to our entries 20325343B/C for more scans, and if you’d like more information, please ask us. Special postage rate will apply: at exact cost of mailing. We’ll let you know that in advance. Grade: 1
