Honolulu, The Pagoda Hotel, Lotus Blossom Pool, Koi
Unused, aging card. Grade: 2

Price: $0.50
Eightball the Octopus (Oregon, USA)
Unused card 76167-C (OSU-115) of a “friendly octopus” at the Oregon State University Marine Science Center. If he was here in Hong Kong, his nickname would have been “tasty,” not “friendly.” The card is unused, and though we think that white area on the top front is part of the card, we are not 100% sure it’s not an abrasion, so we are being conservative with Grade: 4.

Code: 30300301
Price: $1.00
Dinosaur (Hongkong Post) (3D) (set)
These require some explaining. It is a set of six 3D cards, all different. They are printed on exceptionally heavy stock. What you see in the photo is one card, and one sample reverse: each card has pre-printed postage, “maximum card style” yet not maximum cards. Two sets have the postmark you see in the scan (Grades: 1, US$29). Two sets have a different “GPO” postmark (Grades: 1, US$29). Two sets have no postmark (Grades: 1, US$25). We should tell you, these sold out within a few minutes of issue at all of the different Hongkong Post philatelic units. They are extraordinary, and well worth the price. Unusually we are putting a limit of one set per customer, and there will be a small postage surcharge due to the weight.
