Arctic and Antarctic Animals (set of four) (Maximum Cards) (DPR Korea)
A set of four unused Maximum cards from 1996, and like many others from DPRK they are captioned in Korean and with scientific names: Hydrurga leptonyx, Apt enodytes forsteri, Alopex lagopus, and Thalarctos maritimus. (That is as they are, we’ve not verified them.) Please note that on these as well as some other sets, there may be some postmark ink transfer on the reverses when cards were stacked at source. We do not consider this to be a defect. Reference numbers 7-605105. Grades: 1

Code: 30300350
Price: $20.00

The scientific name for one of the angelfish; the unused card from 1991, with caption in Korean and “scientific”. Reference number 105296, and with Pyongyang attribution. Grade: 1

Code: 30300351
Price: $8.00
Frogs (set of six) (Maximum Cards) (DPR Korea)
Someone out there collects postcards of frogs and toads. We hope it’s you. Here’s an unused set of six Maximum Cards (four are in the scan) from 1992. Apart from Pyongyang attribution, the captions are only in Korean, but on the stamps, in tiny print, the scientific names appear. Series reference number 203106. Ribbit! Grades: 1

Code: 30300352
Price: $24.00
Chameleo dilepis (DPR Korea)
Unused 2009 card. The pre-printed postage is, however, of a crocodile. Grade: 1

Code: 30300359
Price: $5.00
Tiger (DPR Korea)
Unused card, large and colourful pre-printed postage in an unusual amount (67). Captioned “Tiger” in Korean and English. Grade: 1

Code: 30300360
Price: $4.00
Felis catus (group of 2) (DPR Korea)
No, these two are not the same 2010 card. The background photo is the same, and the reverses are also the same (pre-printed postage; captions in Korean and the scientific name). But look closely at the bottom of the upper card and see the logo for “International Youth Stamp Collectors’ Exhibition Europhila 2010, October 2-3, Stockholm, Sweden”. We’ve decided to sell these as a pair, but if you only want one, tell us which one and it will be $6. Grade: 1

Code: 30300361
Price: $9.00
Equus burchelli bohmi (sic) (DPR Korea)
Equus burchelli boehmi (the correct spelling) is variously called a Plains Zebra, Grant’s Zebra, and Boehm’s Zebra. Whichever it is, they share space with other animals on this unused 2010 card, and with a porcupine on the pre-printed postage. Captioned in Korean and the scientific name. Grade: 1

Code: 30300363
Price: $4.00
Dinosaurs (공룡) (DPR Korea)
Unused 2011 card, pre-printed Megalosaurus bucklandi postage, and short Korean and English caption. Grade: 1

Code: 30300365
Price: $6.00
Rabbits – Frimung (DPR Korea)
It will be hard to read, so we’ll type the legend at the bottom front: “FRIMUNG 2012 & HUDDEX 2012”, Huddinge, Sweden, March 3-4. Google, surprisingly, was not much help here so we just present the unused card to you, with bilingual caption and more rabbits on the pre-printed postage. Grade: 1

Code: 30300366
Price: $5.00
Loggerhead turtle
This unused 2013 card seems like another case where something small went wrong. The caption is only in Korean (거부 기) and while the agent describes this as “Caretta” (loggerhead turtle), the translation comes back as “Group rejected”. We think the printers just forgot the last part of the name, because “loggerhead turtle” is actually “거북 거북”. Anyway … the stamp is quite a large and round view of a menacing shark. Grade: 1

Code: 30300369
Price: $8.00
Bees (꿀벌) (DPR Korea)
Bilingual captions front and back on this unused 2013 card whose pre-printed postage shows Apis mellifera. Grade: 1

Price: $4.00

Code: 30300376
Price: $6.00
Camelus bactrianus ferus (set of 2) (Maximum Cards) (PR China)
We used to hear, “a face that only a mother could love.” Not true. We love this one. The set of two maximum cards is from 1993, unused and with massive camel/desert graphics on the reverse. Note the different scripts in the postmarks. Grade: 1

Koala (Maximum Card) (joint issue, Australia/China)
This unused maximum card could as well be listed under “PR China” as it was part of a joint issue with Australia in 1995 and text on the back makes it clear the card was produced in China. However the subject, the stamp, and the Melbourne postmark are clearly Australian. Grade: 1

Code: 30300397
Price: $6.00

If you are into entomology, how can you not love this 1993 set of six unused maximum cards? The scan gives you the idea of what they look like, and the captions are in Korean and the scientific names: Trichogramma dendrolimi, Gryllus campestris, Geocoris pallidipennis, Cyphononyx dorsalis, Metrioptera brachyptera, and Brachymeria obscurata. (We did that both for you and for the search engines.) Grade: 1

Goats (set of four) (Maximum Cards) (DPR Korea)

Here is a set of three unused maximum cards from 2000, clearly labeled in western letters as to the species (Styracosaurus, Saltasaurus, and Tyrannosaurus) and also in Korean (조 선 민 주 주 의 인 민 공 화 국) which as far as we can tell has nothing to do with dinosaurs, but rather “A democratic civil state of Shipbuilding Engineering Chemistry Bureau”. Grade: 1

Code: 30300410
Price: $18.00
Protected animals (set of four) (Maximum Cards) (DPR Korea)
These are sturdy postcards, an unused set of four maximum cards from 2001, and in this case the scientific names on the reverses (along with Korean) do match the names on the stamps: Hydropotes inermis, Ciconia nigra, Aegypius monachus, and Nemorhaedus goral. Grade: 1
