Unused card saying:  “Our party’s love for the people … let’s make it bloom more brightly”.  This card has coloured pre-printed postage of the DPRK flag on the reverse.  Grade: 1

We can show you two fronts and one reverse of the five foil-backed cards in this sealed set, original packaging.  Issued for Hong Kong Disneyland’s 10th Anniversary, they show teams from Pixar, Winnie the Pooh, Mr. Potato Head, and so on.  Grades: 1

We’re always watching for unique items from our local Disneyland, which becomes even more of a challenge with no Disney stores in town.  But here’s something not to be repeated:  a 12th Anniversary set of four postcards plus one sticker.  Our scan shows you the front and back of this poly-wrapped set, and tape on the back is from the source.  We’ve edited out the retail price from the other sticker.  From 2017.  Grade: 1

You could ask — as we initially did — why only 19 cards in the set, of course one must be missing.  But not so.  This is deliberate, because the set was issued in 2017 for the XIX International Botanical Congress.  And what a set it is:  unused, postage pre-printed 4″ x 7-1/2″ cards with impressive views of modern day Shenzhen’s various attractions.  The scan for this entry 31800145A shows the sort of vinylized cover and one of the cards.  Scans B and C show other cards for different categories, including Window of the World.  Disclosure:  we live right across the border from Shenzhen and didn’t know half of these places existed.  Two sets are available.  Grades: 1

From a series of unused cards that don’t have captions.  Because we live here in Hong Kong, we have filled in some of the gaps to let you know where the pictures were taken.  Ocean Park is one of Hong Kong’s two main theme park attractions (along with Disneyland).  Grade: 1

Among Florida postcards, those from Disney World take a larger-than-life share.  Here’s an official Disney card HSC-609-L (PC709), near Tom Sawyer’s Island, unused except for a small black X inked into the lower right reverse corner.  One perforated edge, so this had been part of a set.  Grade: 3

Kindly get your coffee and relax because this description may take awhile.  It’s a set of four unused cards, each measuring 4″ x 11-5/8″, so they are well oversized.  The red paper wrap identifies this China Post product, from 2018, and our scan shows the front of one card (the other three are similar but with different places) and the reverse of another.  All cards have pre-printed, coloured postage and a kind of “shadow” graphic further identifying most of what’s on the front.  Clearly these cards fit many of our categories–in fact, they set the record–because Shenzhen is a city of about 15 million people and has everything, including Window of the World, a major theme park.  So, if you have any questions aboout these Shenzhen postcards, please ask us.  Grades: 1

Have a look at our entry for item 31800142 (the 12th Anniversary), and this is the same concept:  official set of four postcards and one sheet of stickers for the 13th anniversary.  Our scan shows front and back of the cardboard cover (including thumbnails of each card and the sticker sheet).  The green tape was placed at point of purchase, and again, we edited out the original price that does not apply here.  Grade: 1

Unused, official Disney postcard 1-289.  Grade: 1

We thank Wikipedia for this (abridged) description of The Pavilion:  “The Myrtle Beach Pavilion was a historic pay-per-ride, 11-acre amusement park that was located at the corner of 9th Avenue and Ocean Boulevard, down from the Family Kingdom Amusement Park.  (It) had well over 40 different attractions   and included the wooden rollercoaster Hurricane: Category 5. Despite efforts made by citizens to save the park, it was lost to redevelopment in 2007.  While the park was officially closed and became a vacant lot on 9th Avenue and Ocean Boulevard, some rides and attractions were moved to Broadway At The Beach.” Anyway, the Curteichcolor card 5C-K301 is unused but very slight aging.  Grade: 1

You can unfold the cover, remove the cards, see the fronts, and it is only when you turn them over that you see the reverses are fully printed (in Russian) with details of what they show.  So, yes, they are unused; and no, you could not mail them as postcards in the usual way.  But they are the right size and shape, and deserve listing here anyway.  This set also marks the most different theme categories for any one entry, so there’s that.  Inside, the Kazan Riviera Aquapark.  Grade: 1
