Price: $2.00
For Sale By Public Tender (Hong Kong)
It may not be unique to Hong Kong, but is definitely distinctive, that the (possibly forced) sale of one single flat is marketed through mass mailing. This 5-7/8″ x 8-1/4″ card was mailed to Hong Kong residents in 2017 using Hongkong Post’s Chinese-language pre-printed Circular Service postage. As with other, similar cards, this is fully printed on both sides, nearly entirely in Chinese except for fine print–which itself is extraordinarily fine. Grade: 1

E.P. Wilbur Trust Company (Pennsylvania, USA)
Really nice old (1910) ad card, mailed with indistinct postmark, and the stamp is still there. We were especially taken with the offer of 3% interest on savings accounts. By today’s standards, go for it! Grade: 1

Perhaps I Should Abstain (Clarke and Mulcaire) (Australia)
Unused card. It looks like coffee, and if so we’re not certain why the artists are projecting this bad rap on the beverage, but art is really subjective. Grade: 1

Price: $1.00
Shifting Space (Australia)
Unused card for a 2018 group exhibition in Melbourne. Grade: 1

Code: 30100606

Having a moment with my street (Hong Kong)
This is an ad card for two F&B outlets in Swire Properties’ “Star Street Precinct” of Wanchai. Looks good, right? All of that building you see on the right, with Classified and Pizza Express, is now gone — pulled down by Swire and to be replaced with something undoubtedly much larger. (We live nearby, and see daily changes.) Mailed with three different stamps and two postmarks. Grade: 1

Turkish Airlines (Hong Kong)
This ad card was mailed to Hong Kong residents (using Hongkong Post’s English-language Circular Service postage imprint) in late 2018 for a contest linked with the opening of Istanbul’s new airport. The point is to write your New Year’s wish and post the card back to a local (HK) address for a chance of winning a trip. But that’s not all! There are terms and conditions! Including one that will winnow out quite a few potential entrants. Above all, be “stylish”. Grade: 1

Working Holiday Scheme – Australia (Hong Kong)
When we first came to Hong Kong and encountered local use of the word “scheme,” we were surprised, as the meanings of this term do vary greatly across countries. But this one is legitimate, and earlier entries in our site appear for earlier versions of the scheme. Anyway this plan is sponsored by Hong Kong Government’s Labour Department, and broad rules are in the caption on the back of the 2020 card. Unused, and two are available. Grade: 1

Code: 30100610

Code: 30100628
Price: $1.00
Buvez Coca-Cola (Canada)
An unused, official card from 1997, reproducing a 1947 point-of-sale display for the Canadian market. It’s an advertisement, but not an ad card per se. Grade: 1

Code: 30100629
Price: $2.00
Pizza Hut (Hong Kong)
The card measures 5-7/8″ x 8-1/4″, is fully printed on both sides, and was mailed to Hong Kong residents using Hongkong Post’s Chinese-language Circular Service imprint. Pizza Hut in Hong Kong gets more creative. We await a version with chicken feet. Grade: 1

Code: 30100631
Price: $2.00
Aukro (Czech Republic)
As far as we can tell, from far away, Aukro seems to be the eBay of the Czech Republic. Then Google translates the legend on the front of the card as “We carry out your collectibles”. Close enough. The card was mailed in 2020 from Prague, with stamp and blue Prioritaire label. Grade: 1

Code: 30100633
Price: $2.00
Emperor Financial Group (Hong Kong)
Mailed in 2021, using Hongkong Post’s Chinese-language Circular Service imprint, this card measures 5-7/8″ x 8-1/4″. Ads on one side, calendar on the other. Grade: 1

Pizza Hut (Hong Kong)
The card measures 5-7/8″ x 8-1/4″, is fully printed on both sides, and was mailed to Hong Kong residents using Hongkong Post’s Chinese-language Circular Service imprint. Exceptionally, our scan shows both sides of the card — because we have two of them. Grade: 1

Price: $2.00
49th Hong Kong Arts Festival (2021) – The Plague
Under the circumstances, they chose well. This card measures 6″ x 8-3/4″, was mailed in 2021, and has Hongkong Post’s bilingual Circular Service imprint. “Exempted” means residents receive this bulk mailing whether they opted out or not. Grade: 1

Code: 30100642

China – free card
… but that’s their description, not ours. Mailed a few years back, with two different stamps and a red postage meter imprint, the card just wants you to receive happiness. So do we! Grade: 1

Price: $1.00
Bass-Hueter Paint Company, and Grover Cleveland (USA)
Yes, an ancient ad card, and so much more. The sales pitch fills the message area, and the card was mailed in 1911 with stamp and full San Francisco postmark. Contents on the front, punctuated by President Cleveland, make this a genuine historical relic, worth every penny. Grade: 1

Code: 30100647
Price: $11.00
Valley Springs, Rancho Calaveras (California)
An advertising card, professionally prepared and mailed (as this one was) with Bulk Rate pre-printed postage. The caption — being advertising, after all — is extensive and persuasive. We were curious, and checked online, to find it still exists as a “census-designated place”, whatever that means, and one source wrote: “When it was created in the 1960s, Rancho Calaveras was the largest residential subdivision in the state of California.” For the postcard, Grade: 3
