Price: $3.00
Barking Deer (East Malaysia)
Two of these older, unused 5″ x 7″ cards are available. They do not indicate country of origin but we got them from Sarawak (Malaysian Borneo). Grades: 1

Somewhere, someone collects sea horse postcards. You? This one is not postally used, but has a 1973 date written with a name on the back. Grade: 3

Code: 30300605
Price: $0.50
Grus japonensis (3D) (DPR Korea)

Price: $6.00
Ocean Park (Hong Kong) (Maximum Cards) (set of 6)
A set of six maximum cards, issued by Hongkong Post in August 2020, with philatelic postmarks. The animals include the King Penguin, Giant Panda, Meerkat, Sichuan Golden Snub-nosed Monkey, Toco Toucan, and Indo-Pacific Bottlenose Dolphin. All at that time to be found in one of Hong Kong’s two big theme parks, both of which had struggled mightily during the pandemic. Grades: 1

Code: 30300609
Price: $24.00
Family of Gila Monsters on a Stump (USA)
Unused but extremely heavily aged Curteich-Chicago “C.T. Art-Colortone” card 4B-H1226 (D-83) with a small tear on one corner. The caption says the gila monster is “ordinarily slow and unstable in its movements”. Yet it survives, where others don’t. Grade: 4

Code: 30300610
Price: $1.00
Laubfrosch (Germany)
In English, a tree frog, on a card mailed in 2020 with stamp and postmark. Grade: 1

Code: 30300612
Price: $1.00
Yellowhammer (Alabama, USA)
This card barely qualifies as one we would include, but it looks good enough on the front so we’ll let it appear. Mailed in 2020, the reverse has a round Global Forever poinsettia stamp and bar coding and USPS airmail label but also a taped address label and other additions that make this no more than a space filler — unless you really, really like yellowhammers or camellias. Grade: 5

Code: 30300613
Price: $0.50
Iguana (Guam)
Unused, older card. Grade: 1

Code: 30300614
Price: $2.00
Alaskan Bald Eagle, Homer (Alaska)

Code: 30300615
Price: $1.00
Whitetail Deer (USA)
Unused. No location specified other than “North American”. Grade: 1

Code: 30300619
Price: $1.00
Camels at Sitra (Bahrain)
Unused, somewhat aging but clean card. Grade: 2

Code: 30300620
Price: $3.00
Seagull (Canada)
Mailed from Canada in the early 1980s (we think), the card has its stamp, faint postmark, and a prominent thumbtack hole. Grade: 5

Code: 30300621T
Price: $0.30
Gifu, Cormorants and Nagara-Bashi Bridge (Japan)
Apparently two of Gifu’s claims to fame, on this unused old postcard. Grade: 1

Code: 30300622T
Price: $5.00
Close Encounter
The scene is almost certainly somewhere in the U.K. as the 4-5/8″ x 6-3/4″ card was bought and mailed from there (late 1980s? early 1990s?) with two stamps, airmail label, and partial postmark) but, annoyingly, the animal is not identified. We think it’s a musk ox. Grade: 1

Code: 30300623T
Price: $1.00
Skokholm Island, Adult Wheatear at nest (Wales)
Unused real-photo card from the Observatory. Grade: 1

Code: 30300624T

Unused real-photo card from the Observatory. Grade: 1

Code: 30300625T
Price: $2.00
Skokholm Island, Puffins “billing” in Crab Bay (Wales)
Unlike other cards in this short series, this one was mailed, in 1952, with four stamps and the postmark. Two stamps overlap each other, and two were cancelled by marker when the postmark didn’t reach them. Otherwise, all is well. Grade: 3

Code: 30300626T
Price: $4.00
Skokholm Island, Adult Oystercatcher with nestling and egg (Wales)
Unused real-photo card from the Observatory. Grade: 1

Code: 30300628T
Price: $3.00
Everglades National Park – Purple Gallinule (Florida, USA)
Mailed from Canada (not Florida!) in what looks like 1988, with stamp and obscured postmark and airmail sticker. The card describes the Purple Gallinule as a “rare find”, which it may be since we’ve never seen one either. Grade: 4

Code: 30300630T
Price: $1.00
White-necked Jacobin Humming Bird (Jamaica)
Also kindly identified as Florisuda Mellivora, on this card mailed in 1989, with stamp and postmark and a really long message. Grade: 1

Code: 30300631T
Price: $3.00
Cheetah (Kenya)
At the rate things are going, the only way many people will ever be able to see a cheetah is in a zoo or on a postcard. We hope not. This card was mailed in 1992, with two stamps and a little bit of a postmark. Grade: 1

Code: 30300632T
Price: $3.00
Osprey (Scotland)
At least the card tells us this bird’s scientific name is Pandion haliaetus, so let that satisfy the search engines! For the rest of us, the card was mailed in 1990 with a 24p stamp, and postmark. Grade: 1

Code: 30300633T
Price: $2.00
Frigatebird
It’s a fine, unused card from Lindblad/National Geographic, and we know it comes from the Galapagos in Ecuador, but we can’t say so because the card itself doesn’t — just the name of the bird. Grade: 1

Code: 30300634
Price: $2.00
Galapagos Giant Tortoise (Ecuador)
Like the ultimate selfie on this unused card from a Lindblad/National Geographic tour of the islands. Grade: 1

Code: 30300635
Price: $3.00
Giant Tortoise (Ecuador)
Identified in the caption of this unused card from the Galapagos as Chelonoides nigra. Grade: 1

Code: 30300636
Price: $3.00
Tortuga Gigante (Giant Tortoise) (Ecuador)
Identified in the caption of this unused card from the Galapagos as Chelonoides nigra. Grade: 1

Code: 30300637
Price: $3.00
Group of Giant Tortoises (Ecuador)
Identified in the unused card as a different Galapagos species than before, Chelonoidis vandenburghi. Grade: 1

Code: 30300638
Price: $4.00
Galapagos, Sally-Lightfoot Crabs and Marine Iguanas (Ecuador)
Somehow they both eat seaweed and not each other. Unused card. Grade: 1

Code: 30300639
Price: $5.00
Galapagos Sea Lion (Ecuador)
From the caption of this unused postcard, Zolophus wollebaeki. They love to play. (Who doesn’t?) Grade: 1

Code: 30300640
Price: $3.00
Young Galapagos Sea Lions (Ecuador)
Playing, on an unused card from Lindblad Expeditions and National Geographic. Grade: 1

Unused card, from there. Grade: 1

Code: 30300643
Price: $4.00
Galapagos, Land Iguana (Ecuador)
One might think all iguanas are the same. One would be wrong. This is one (Conolophus subcristatus) that lives on dry islands, and can’t swim. Unused card. Grade: 1

Code: 30300644
Price: $4.00
Blue-footed Booby
It’s a fine, unused card from Lindblad/National Geographic, and we know it comes from the Galapagos in Ecuador, but we can’t say so because the card itself doesn’t — just the name of the bird. Grade: 1

Code: 30300645
Price: $2.00
Nagano, T Hotel Nagano Ryuoo (set of 4) (Japan)
These four unused cards from T Hotel Nagano Ryuoo come in a set, and all four appear in our scan. Golf, clouds, snow monkeys, ski … but nothing of the hotel itself. In any case, twin QR Codes on the reverses will no doubt fill you in. Grade: 1

Code: 30300646
Price: $6.00
