Sailing (1884)
Timeless art from 1884 (so not so timeless) on a contemporary card, mailed from Finland with stamp, faint postmark, and Priority label. Information about the artist and name of the painting is there but partly obscured by the message. With effort, you could extract it. Grade: 1

Price: $3.00
Cappella Sistina, Palazzo Vaticano, Michelangiolo – Il Profeta Isaia

Ai Weiwei 2011
We must explain. The card does not look like this. We have self-censored, because we are in Hong Kong. The full card (we can e-mail a complete scan if you are interested) comes from Art Gallery of Ontario, and consists of a photographic portrait of the artist overlaid with quotations and phrases in various shades. But if you’ve read this far, we think you know what this is all about. Grade: 1

Code: 30400408
Price: $4.00
Study of Perspective (Ai Weiwei)
Kindly read the description for item 30400408. The complete card scan can be e-mailed to you if you would like to see it. For that matter, we have not included the full title of the inkjet print either. One cannot be too careful. Sometimes. Unused. Grade: 1

Code: 30400409
Price: $6.00
aiflowers (Ai Weiwei)
See descriptions for 30400408/409. Here, we’ve left the image intact. The unused card invites the holder to draw a flower and share the drawing on Twitter. Clever. Grade: 1

Code: 30400410
Price: $6.00
Bataille de Fleurus (France)
You really need to be paying attention to realize this is an ad card. Though the painting may be in Versailles, the fine print in the caption promotes Sirop de Deschiens, an early 20th century cure-all. Of interest also, the unused card allowed a message on the back for France, Algeria, and Tunisia only. Grade: 1

Code: 30400411
Price: $5.00
Bataille de Zurich (France)
You really need to be paying attention to realize this is an ad card. Though the painting may be in Versailles, the fine print in the caption promotes Sirop de Deschiens, an early 20th century cure-all. Of interest also, the unused card allowed a message on the back for France, Algeria, and Tunisia only. If you want both of the cards in this set (see previous entry), we offer $7. Grade: 1

Magic Eye – style
This is not a Magic Eye card; it’s from a different company, mailed from Germany in 2014 with stamp, postmark, and trilingual Priority label affixed.

500th Anniversary of Columbus’ America Discovery (Maximum Card) (DPR Korea)
