  • 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

    Tiger (DPR Korea)
  • 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

    Felis catus (group of 2) (DPR Korea)
  • Pelecanus onocrotalus (DPR Korea)

    Unused card whose pre-printed postage is of Brachyramphus perdix, the Long-billed murrelet, a small seabird from the North Pacific. It is an unusual member of the auk family, often nesting far inland in old growth forests.  And it is not a pelican.  Grade: 1

    Pelecanus onocrotalus (DPR Korea)
  • 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

    Equus burchelli bohmi (sic) (DPR Korea)
  • Cygnus cygnus (DPR Korea)

    Similar to DPRK’s other cards of animals, this unused version has Korean and “scientific” captions, and the pre-printed stamp is of an owl.  Grade: 1

    Code: 30300364

    Price: $4.00

    Price: $6.00

    Dinosaurs (공룡) (DPR Korea)
  • 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

    Rabbits – Frimung (DPR Korea)
  • Geese (Anser cygnoides) (set of four) (DPR Korea)

    A set of four unused cards, specific to this particular species, as described in Wikipedia: “The swan goose is a rare large goose with a natural breeding range in inland Mongolia, northernmost China, and southeastern Russia. It is migratory and winters mainly in central and eastern China”.  And, possibly, DPRK.  The pre-printed postage bears WWF logo.  Grades: 1

  • Flamingos (홍학) (DPR Korea)

    No English caption, only Korean (홍학), but we know a flamingo when we see one.  The pre-printed postage on this 2012 unused card is, however, of Fringilla montifringilla — a brambling, or small type of finch.  Grade: 1

    Code: 30300368

    Price: $4.00

    Flamingos (홍학) (DPR Korea)
  • 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

  • Baby owls (DPR Korea)

    Price: $6.00

    Panthera tigris altaika (DPR Korea)
  • Peacock (DPR Korea)

    No English caption on this unused 2001 card, but the Korean (공작새) logically means “peacocks”.  The pre-printed stamp however shows Uria aalge, the common murre.  This is a second copy of the same card we listed as 30300330.  Grade: 1

    Code: 30300377

    Price: $5.00

  • Eagles (group of two) (Maximum Cards) (DPR Korea)

    Here’s a chance to have a couple of DPRK Maximum Cards at a value price.  Unused, from 1992, captioned in Korean and “scientific” (Haliaeetus vocifer and Buteo buteo).  The Haliaeetus card (i.e., the one without the baby chicks) has significant spotting on the front.  Grade: 3

  • Camelus bactrianus ferus (set of 2) (Maximum Cards) (PR China)

  • Common Pheasant (joint Sweden/PRC issue) (Maximum Card)

    This unused maximum card could as well be listed under “PR China” as it was part of a joint issue with Sweden in 1997 and text on the back makes it clear the card was produced in China.  However the subject, the stamp, and the Kista postmark are clearly Swedish.  Grade: 1

  • Chickens (set of six) (Maximum Cards) (DPR Korea)

    Parts of all six unused cards are visible in this messy scan — sorry about that.  As maximum cards go, these are quite old, issued in 1964 (probably), and while the postmarks are completely clear, the cards themselves do look a lot newer.  Maybe they just aged well.  Captions are in Korean and English:  “Black chicken,” “White chicken,” “Red chicken,” etc.  Grade: 1
