    An internet 3D card, and the scan looks like this because the view is either of a dog or a cat, depending on your perspective with the lenticular printing.  Mailed from Japan in 2013 with two stamps and postmark.  Grade: 1

  • Girl with kitten (Finland)

    The front of this card, mailed from Finland, is perfect.  The back is enhanced by a Finnish 3D stamp, partial postmark, and trilingual Lentoposti label.  It also has two address labels affixed.  They are the reason for the downgrade to Grade: 4

  • Ngong Ping Buddha and Wanchai Convention Centre, 3D card in frame (Hong Kong)

    One unused card in a cardboard frame with a push-out stand on the back so it can sit on your desk like a framed photo.  Scanning 3D cards clearly isn’t really possible, and here you can see elements of both photos through the lenticular printing.  All this is still enclosed in the original plastic wrap, and we deleted the original price in the top corner of the scan.  It’s still on the wrapper, though.  Grade: 1

  • The Moon – Naturally and Geologically

    Normally we like 3D cards.  We really do.  This one, well, to be honest, it’s a strain.  Maybe it does its job too well.  Measuring almost 6″ square, the lenticular printing has motion effect.  Mailed from Finland in 2013, with stamp, postmark, and Priority label.  Grade: 1

  • Dinosaur (Hongkong Post) (set)

    These require some explaining.  It is a set of six 3D cards, all different.  They are printed on exceptionally heavy stock.   What you see in the photo is one card, and one sample reverse:  each card has pre-printed postage, “maximum card style” yet not maximum cards.  Two sets have the postmark you see in the scan (Grades: 1, US$29).  Two sets have a different “GPO” postmark (Grades: 1, US$29).  Two sets have no postmark (Grades: 1, US$25).  We should tell you, these sold out within a few minutes of issue at all of the different Hongkong Post philatelic units.  They are extraordinary, and well worth the price.  Unusually we are putting a limit of one set per customer, and there will be a small postage surcharge due to the weight.

  • Hong Kong Disneyland (set of 3)

    We waited a long time for these, and were not certain they would ever appear.  It’s an (unused) set of three 3D cards (lenticular printing) showing stylised Hong Kong scenes.  The usual problem with scanning 3D cards, but we show the fronts of all three, and the typical reverse of one.  In the original packaging.  Grade: 1

  • Der schöne Bodensee (Germany)

    For non-German speakers, some translation is in order.  Our header means “The beautiful Lake Constance”.  You already know how it is to scan a 3D card, and this shows you a bit of both views.  One, headed “einfach zauberhaft” (“simply magical”) shows swans.  Flip the lenticular card and the other view is of sailboats on the lake.  Unused.  Grade: 1
