Code: 30100311
Price: $1.00

Unused, aging card from providers of domestic helpers–we think. Grade: 2

Code: 30100312
Price: $1.00
Singapore Police – Fairness
The front of this advertising card is OK. The reverse is a bit messy, mailed from Taiwan with two stamps, partial postmark, and address and other label taped on. Grade: 4

Code: 30100313
Price: $1.00
Boomerang Post-Graffiti series (Netherlands)
The caption on this unused card is all in Dutch, but we think it is #4 from a series of four cards. Not certain about this, but you would know if you’ve read this far. Grade: 1

Code: 30100314
Price: $1.00
Yakuza
Unused Boomerang card from Netherlands, with caption in English. Search engines will tell you all about the yakuza in Japan. Grade: 1

Code: 30100315
Price: $2.00
Stop Talking Start Planting (Germany)
Unused card, almost fully preprinted on the back, in German, along with a QR Code for more information. Looks like a very good cause. Grade: 1

Code: 30100316
Price: $1.00
8. Kaufunger Stiftsweihnacht (Germany)
Postcard-sized but technically cannot be used as one because there is no place for the address. Well, you could do it, but with difficulty as the reverse is fully pre-printed in German. Grade: 1

Code: 30100317
Price: $1.00
Husk (Netherlands)
Loosely translated, “Hey, I know you from somewhere?” Mailed from Holland in 2013 with stamp and postmark. Grade: 2

Code: 30100318
Price: $1.00
Architecture (Lithuania)
Just another example of how wonderful ad cards can be when they want to be. The message space is taken up with a printed caption (in Lithuanian, along with the rest of the 2012 card) but it’s unused. Grade: 1

Code: 30100319
Price: $4.00
Rabbits (Lithuania)
Google Translate struggles a bit with this: “Hei hou, what are you? Do not look to the sides. Have what you want.” Not postally mailed, but with a message written on the reverse. Grade: 4

Code: 30100320
Price: $1.00
Micacode – cellular (Brazil)
This is actually an unused postcard, with designated space for stamp and address, but you would be challenged to send it because the reverse of the card is all in black and orange, with a QR Code. Anyway, great condition. Grade: 1

Code: 30100321
Price: $1.00
Xitou, Monster Village (Taiwan)
Unused advertising card, 3-5/8″ x 6-1/4″. Grade: 1

Code: 30100323

Weet Wie je ontmoet (Belgium)
This is actually a website. Translated, “Know who you meet.” So guess what it’s all about! You need not guess–there’s a QR Code on the reverse. Card mailed from Netherlands with stamp and partial postmark, and orange postal barcoding. Grade: 2

Code: 30100324
Price: $1.00
Original Long Drink (Finland)
Google Translate gave up completely on the translation of Aitolonkero’s website. That’s OK. We think we’ve given this card enough time. Mailed from Finland with stamp and Prioritaire, but no postmark. Grade: 4

Code: 30100325
Price: $1.00
Best Buy, and able-hk (Hong Kong)
In most ways this is a typical bulk-mailed ad card for Hong Kong households. (Don’t be misled by the name “Tokyo” on the front.) One side of the card is as you see, showing locations of Best Buy shops along Hong Kong’s MTR lines. The other side seems to be for property rentals, we’re not sure. It’s all in Chinese. What makes this ad card special is that it shows most of Hong Kong’s MTR (metro, subway) system. We’ve yet to find any locally made postcards that do this. Grade: 1

Code: 30100326
Price: $2.00
Skarppaa leivällä! (Finland)
Skarppaa leivällä! = Skarppaa bread, in Finnish. Card was mailed from there in 2013, with stamp, postmark, and blue Priority label. Grade: 1

Unused ad card from the 41st Hong Kong Arts Festival in 2013. Grade: 1

Code: 30100329
Price: $1.00
Die seele baumeln lassen … (Germany)
Google Translate: “The soul dangle”. The card’s sender: “Let your soul chill”. We like that one better. Mailed in 2013 with two stamps and postmark. Grade: 1

Code: 30100330
Price: $1.00
Chello (Netherlands)
Broadly meaning: unrestricted internet surfing for a small amount. Card mailed from Netherlands in 2013 with stamp and postmark. Very minor postal creasing. Grade: 2

Code: 30100331
Price: $1.00
Plate-Forme Prevention SIDA (Belgium)
Look closely at this Valentine card, an AIDS warning. Mailed from Belgium in 2013 with two stamps and very faint postmark. One abraded corner. Grade: 3

Code: 30100332
Price: $2.00
Triumph
Card produced in (and for) Denmark, in Danish, but mailed from UK in 2013 with stamp, Air Mail label, and orange postal barcoding. Grade: 3

Code: 30100334
Price: $1.00
Absolut Graves.

Code: 30100335
Price: $5.00
Stolichnaya Razberi
A brilliantly conceived and executed USA ad card. Unused. Grade: 1

Stolichnaya Kafya
Unused USA card, with some smudging on the reverse. Grade: 2

Code: 30100337
Price: $3.00
Death the Time of Your Life
This is apparently a comic book. Comic books have evolved, haven’t they? (We knew that.) Unused but aged and stained card. Grade: 3

Code: 30100338
Price: $1.00
Aventuriini (Finland)
We could have worked with Google Translate on this, but will leave it with the sender who describes this as for a specialty shop for stones and jewellery. It’s a chain of stores. Mailed from Finland in 2013 with two stamps, postmark, and Priority label. Grade: 1

Code: 30100339
Price: $1.00
Op een dag … (Netherlands)
For Grolsche Brewery, and mailed from Netherlands in 2013 with four stamps and Priority label. Two of the four stamps are postmarked. Grade: 2

Code: 30100342

Thank you for visiting Bali – Indosat (Indonesia)
Although this is an ad card from Indosat, it’s nice enough to fit in the main country section also. Three unused cards are available. Grades: 1

Code: 30100343
Price: $3.00
Quiksilver Surf School Bali (Indonesia)
Four of these unused cards are available. They are probably not meant to be mailed as postcards, because the back is fully pre-printed with map and details, but if one was clever and determined, one could manage that task. Grades: 1

Code: 30100344
Price: $3.00
Keep Bali Clean
Another postcard-sized ad, fully printed on the back with a map and WWF-sanctioned ways to help clean up Bali. If you tried hard, you could send this as a postcard, so we list it. Grade: 1

Code: 30100345
Price: $3.00
niconico mare (Indonesia)
Unused ad card for Balinese swimwear. Good thing the card comes from Bali and not Jakarta. Grade: 1

Code: 30100346
Price: $3.00
Stand Up Paddle with Me @ Wave Hunter Bali
Three unused cards are available, in the same style as some other recent entries: not really postcards, but if you work at it, you could mail them (and someone would be happy to receive them). Grades: 1

Code: 30100347
Price: $2.00
Sababay Wine (Bali)
Three of these unused, pre-launch ad cards are available (“Pouring Soon …”) The tag line is “Expect the Impossible,” so we are holding our collective breath. Grades: 1

Unused ad card for which the QR Code on the back will tell you everything. Grade: 1
