The Second International Asian Hornbill Workshop (Maximum Cards) (Thailand) (set)

Price: $18.00

Wild Animals (6th Series) (Maximum Cards) (Thailand) (set)
A set of four maximum cards, from April 1998 (Thai 2541), packaged as you see. We are showing two of the four cards, and all of them are wild cats large or small. The cards have bilingual Thai/English captions, are unused, and have small postmark ink transfer on the reverses from having been put on top of each other. We don’t consider this to be a defect. Grade: 1

Price: $16.00
Alaskan Moose
It has come to this in the United States, that the printed caption on this unused card has to point out this is a “Composite close-up view of a moose crossing the Seward Highway.” Why, we thought all American wildlife was this size. Grade: 1

Code: 30300280
Price: $3.00
The Alaska Zoo, polar bear
An astonishingly long and comprehensive caption on the back of this unused card, telling just about everything you could ever want to know about polar bears, but not where the Zoo is. Grade: 1

Price: $16.00
Did You Know? Deer (Canada)

Code: 30300286

Miami, Flamingos and Nests at Hialeah Park (Florida)
Curteich-Chicago linen card OB-H218 (D.C. 27), in fact the same picture with two slightly different captions on two cards from two print runs. One was mailed in what looks like 1945, with 1-cent stamp and faint postmark (Grade: 2, $2) and the other is highly aged, but unused (Grade: 3, $1).

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.
