PROPERTY FOR SALE – Special note about multiple cards
We have more than 80 different property postcards similar in theme to this one. They sell apartments, homes, or property in general — nearly always mailed from Hong Kong to HK residents, and mostly (but not all) for developments in the U.K., Singapore, Malaysia, Canada, Australia, Indonesia, Thailand, or HK itself. Most are printed on both sides, usually with Hongkong Post pre-printed Circular Service postage in Chinese, English, or both. Many are somewhat larger than a standard postcard. Nearly all are Grade: 1.

Before, we listed these one by one, but they take a lot of space, so let us know if you are interested in this type of card, and roughly how many, or for what country. We will answer back, tell you by e-mail what we have by showing you the original listings. Price will depend on how many cards you order, but won’t be expensive. OK?

Code: 30100000
Barbados Agricultural Development & Marketing Corporation
This is an unused ad card, 4″ x 8″ including a perforated coupon that can be used for $1 off on Sweet Potato, Breadfruit and Cassava Flour, but only through December 2012, so you’re too late. The card has suffered from some heavy handling since then. Grade: 3

Code: 30100001
Price: $3.00
Princess Changping (Hong Kong)
Five cards are available, an advertising postcard for a Cantonese drama for the 6th Chinese Drama Festival. Though these are the right size to be postcards, the reverse is entirely pre-printed with event details; they are not suitable for postal mailing as-is. They date from January 2007 and are as-new. Grades: 1

Code: 30100002
Price: $1.00
South Asia Tsunami Disaster Relief (Hong Kong)
We’re not certain how the photo of Hong Kong’s old Kai Tak Airport fits in with the plea for tsunami donations, but here it is. Two unused cards are available. Grades: 1

Code: 30100003
Price: $1.00
Journey to the West (Hong Kong)
Five of these January 2007 promotional cards are available. It’s a Cantonese drama. Though the reverse is almost fully pre-printed with event details, if one was really determined, one could send this through the mail as a postcard, since there’s a bit of empty space. Grades: 1

Code: 30100004
Price: $1.00
Zullen (Netherlands)
Regrets that our Dutch language facility is not strong enough to know what this is all about (Gelukkig valt er thuis ook nog genoeg te ontdekken.) but the card was mailed from Switzerland in 2002, with a holographic stamp, and would be perfect apart from a minor but visible crease vertically across the card. Grade: 3

Code: 30100005
Price: $1.50
Art exhibition (Hong Kong)
If you read Chinese, you’ll know exactly what this is. (Of course!) Card was mailed in 2000 from Hong Kong, has three stamps including one triangular, and two fullly legible postmarks. Blue airmail sticker and white address label affixed. Minor postmark smudging on front. Grade: 2

Code: 30100006
Price: $1.00
San Francisco, Sing Fat Co.
Unused, really very old ad/trade card pubished by Pacific Novelty Co. If you Google this, you’ll see an impressive variety of similar cards with a wide range of possible dates and descriptions, ranging from 1870 (definitely not) to late 1920’s (probably not then, either). Most likely, +/- 100 years ago, and our card is cheaper than the others anyway. Grade: 2

Code: 30100007
Price: $6.00
Hong Kong Property and Banking ad cards (set of six) (PR China)
It really is very hard to know what to make of these. They come from PR China, not Hong Kong, and were issued in 2015 by China Post with pre-printed postage. The scan shows the fronts of five and reverse of one card. Now, the lead card in the scan–the one saying “HongKongHomes,” is not showing a picture of Hong Kong. Some cards have Hong Kong contact numbers; some have PR China numbers; and some have none at all. Very odd. We have six of these sets available, all unused. Grades: 1

Code: 30100008
Price: $6.00
Gelbe Karte! (Yellow Card!) (Germany)
From a pet shop, mailed in 2014 with stamp, postmark, and unusual (for a postcard) “Premium” airmail label with barcode. Grade: 1

Code: 30100009
Price: $1.00
Karnival Melaka (Malaysia)
Card of course from 1988 but mailed in 1990 with stamp and mostly legible postmark. Reverse has rapidly aged to a dark brown, unless it was printed that way, which we doubt. Grade: 2

Code: 30100010
Price: $6.00
Malaysia Post Office: Kiriman Lebih Cepat
These cards were issued in early 90s to instruct writers how to prepare mail correctly and get the letters there faster. Three are available. One is unused (Grade: 1, $2) and three were mailed, each with stamp and partly legible postmark. Two have some postmark smudge on front. Grades: 2 ($3.50)

Code: 30100011
Price: $3.50
Tuborg
Card published by the Malay Mail newspaper, mailed in 1991 with two Malaysian stamps, but no postmark at all. Two of the four edges are perforated. Grade: 2

Code: 30100012
Price: $3.00
New Belgium Brewing (USA)
Three of these are available. They are unused, sort of. They are postcards. But they are also drinks coasters from a restaurant. And in that respect, they have been slightly used, yes. Grades: 3

Code: 30100013
Price: $3.50
E.P. Wilbur Trust Company, South Bethlehem (Pennsylvania, USA)
Scattered here and there throughout our website, you can find other months from this series … here offering December 1909, on an excellent, unused, undivided back card. Grade: 1

Code: 30100014
Price: $4.00
Grace Jones, One Man Show
What an appropriate name for this concert! Mailed card became creased in the process. It was mailed from Birmingham (UK) in 1986, with five stamps and legible postmark. It also has the original price written over on the reverse, and a blue airmail sticker. Grade: 4

Code: 30100015
Price: $5.50
Grace Jones, Slave to the Rhythm
A slightly different Grace Jones card, and as it says on the back, there’s no such thing as too many. At one time, she was our favourite artiste. Mailed in the UK in 1986, this card has five stamps and mostly legible postmark over a blue airmail sticker. Some creasing. Grade: 4

Code: 30100016
Price: $4.50

Code: 30100017
Price: $3.50
The Professions Sevens 2007 (Hong Kong)
Five of these unused cards, promoting a rugby tournament, are available. Technically they aren’t postcards, but were to be used for a lucky draw, but there is space for stamp and address. Grades: 1

Code: 30100018
Price: $3.50
Visa Moving Images competition (2007)

Fort William (ON), Kakabeka Falls (Canada)
On the front, a normal and very old scenic postcard. On the reverse, not postally used but the message area is taken up with a pre-printed advertisement for a men’s tailor, who “certainly have the good goods”. A child’s name is lightly pencilled into the address area. As for the photo, “Kakabeka Falls is a waterfall on the Kaministiquia River, located beside the village of Kakabeka Falls in the municipality of Oliver Paipoonge, Ontario, 30 km west of the city of Thunder Bay.” That’s from Wikipedia. Grade: 3

Code: 30100024
Price: $3.00
Kerry Vesper, Kaa Chini chair
A series of unused cards (this is one of them) promoting Kerry’s impressive sculptural and furniture-making abilities. We can vouch for that. By the way, did you know that “Kaa chini” means “sit down” in Swahili? Now you do! Grade: 1

Code: 30100027
Price: $2.00
Talent Group Star Search 2006 (Singapore)
It’s like a postcard but it’s meant to be filled in and dropped into a box at an event booth. This star search: “fashion re-imagine (final) celebrating active seniors promoting intergenerational ties.” Now this does sound somewhat Singaporean. Grade: 1

Code: 30100029
Price: $1.00

Unused card from 2006 promoting osteoporosis prevention. Grade: 1

Code: 30100030

Jennifer Lopez, Live Luxe fragrance
If you presented this card at the right place in a Singapore department store by November 2006 you would have received a complimentary fragrance sample. Too late! Unused (maybe you can convince them still). Grade: 1
