Code: 30200019
Price: $3.00
Northwest Airlines, Hong Kong Harbor
First, here in HK it is “Harbour” (or at least what’s left of it). This card was issued by Northwest Airlines in 1952 and was never mailed though it has a large black rubber stamp from a travel agency on the reverse. It also was folded significantly, diagonally, through the upper left corner. See past all that and you see a long-gone view of the Harbour. Grade: 4

Code: 30200021
Price: $6.00
Dhahran International Airport (Saudi Arabia)
If we could put a price on “well travelled” (pun intended), this card would go for lots more. Produced in Saudi, brought to Malaysia and mailed there in 1986 (stamp and partial postmark), then brought to Hong Kong, and if you buy it…who knows where next? Some postmark smudging on front, and a significant abrasion on bottom front, but a *must* for collectors of airport themes. Grade: 4

Code: 30200022
Price: $8.50

Code: 30200025
Price: $3.00

Cathay Pacific, Boeing 747
The tail number is indistinct, but if this is also VR-HKG (as we suspect) you can see the history elsewhere in our website. Three of these CX Boeing 747 postcards are available, all unused. Two are identical design, with “wave” graphic on the reverse and printed in January 1984; one of these has minor dents. The other card has the same photo but no “wave” design and was printed in May 1983. All are slightly aging around the edges but in better shape than the plane, which has possibly been dismantled. Grades: 2

Code: 30200037
Price: $7.00
Cathay Pacific B747-200B (VR-HIE)
Google calls up the info that this is VR-HIE is actually a B747-267B and was later sold by CX to Virgin Atlantic as G-VCAT. The card is unused, though aging significantly on reverse, and was printed in January 1985. Grade: 2

Code: 30200039
Price: $8.00
Cathay Pacific B747-200B (VR-HIH)
Continuing our effort to bring you the best in internet research, it looks like this aircraft (VR-HIH) (B747-267B) was later converted for cargo use only. Two unused cards are available, from 1980s, aging on reverse but still: Grades: 1

Code: 30200040
Price: $7.50
Cathay Pacific, L-1011 Super TriStar
No registration number visible here, so it’s just an unused card from the 1980s, aging on reverse and, we have to say, also on the front, which is just a little dull. Grade: 3

Code: 30200041
Price: $5.50
Cathay Pacific, sunset and 747
Two absolutely as-new unused cards, with the same photo on front, but one was printed in July 1991 and the other in April 1992. Alas, no tail or registration number is visible for this B747. Grades: 1

Code: 30200042
Price: $4.50
Cathay Pacific B747-400
Five of these unused cards are available. The focus is on the advertising and not on the aircraft: Arrive in Better Shape! Grades: 1 ($4). Then one more card, mailed from Malaysia in 1989 with two different stamps and mostly readable postmark (Grade: 2, $5).

Code: 30200043
Price: $4.00
Cathay Pacific, The Heart of Asia B747

Code: 30200046
Price: $5.50
China Airlines, Boeing 747SP (B-1862)
Would you believe this aircraft is now 9Q-CWY of Kinshasa Airways in the Congo? Of course you would! But this card was mailed in 1990, and then it was a China Airlines plane B-1862. Google is very, very good on items like this. Card was mailed in Malaysia, has a Malaysian stamp, illegible postmark, and has aged significantly. But you can see the tail number. Grade: 4

Code: 30200049
Price: $6.50
China Airlines, Boeing 707 (B-1824)
The tail number on this aircraft (B-1824) can be read with a magnifying glass. Check Google and see that the plane later became N707ZS for Jet Cargo. Card is unused. Grade: 1
