This is an advertising card from Abbott for Emulsao de Polivitaminas.  You need to be slightly a linguist to appreciate this.  The card is captioned in Spanish, and was mailed from Ecuador with two stamps and an address label some years ago.  The postmark is indistinct.  But the printed message and vitamin constituents are in Portuguese, as the card went to a doctor in Brazil.   Hard to grade, so we’ll say: 3.

From a short-lived marketing campaign in 2015 driven by Swire in the Star Street area of Wanchai (“Starstreet Precinct,” Swire’s determination to compete with other nightlife areas), this card, similar to some others in our site — 20308802 being one example.  The difference is that this card is unused.  #BeAStarian!  Grade: 1
