Cathay Pacific has co-opted geese into its fleet?  We have seven of these unused 3-7/8″ x 7-7/8″ cards.  Three are quite clean (Grades: 1, $3) while four have a kind of residual printer’s smudging on the reverse (Grades: 2, $2).

Our independent web search of this helicopter says it is a Bell 205A-1 (where the card’s caption says it is Bell 240C) owned by Yellowhead Helicopters Ltd., and manufactured in 1975.  Still in service.  Card was mailed from USA in 2012 with $1.05 stamp and full Texas postmark, along with postal abrasions on right reverse edge.  Grade: 3

For collectors of airport postcards, this 2012 card issued by China Post and mailed from Shanghai with one real stamp next to another pre-printed one.  Full postmark.  Grade: 2

Mailed from Spain (not Gibraltar!) in 2012, with stamp and partial postmark.  Grade: 3

Three of these cards are available.  One was mailed from the Czech Republic in 2012 with two stamps, postmark, and Prioritaire label affixed (Grade: 1, $3).  One from the Czech Republic in 2013 with one stamp, postmark, and Prioritaire (Grade: 2, $2).  The other is unused (Grade: 1, $2).

Mailed from Germany in 2012 with two stamps–one being a very large 55+25 of an airplane.  Trilingual Priority label affixed.  Grade: 1

Unused card of a helicopter used for sightseeing ovr the Grand Canyon.  A little background work tells us this is a Eurocopter EC 130 B4, manufactured in 2004.  Original price sticker still on the reverse.  Grade: 1

We are absolutely delighted to be able to offer this unused card, surely a landmark in Hello Kitty’s personal passport.  Grade: 1

Three of these internet cards (PostalShop) printed in Russia in 2012 are available.  One was mailed from there, with three stamps, of which one (Happy New Year) takes up most of the message area.  Postmark on the reverse, and much postmark ink smudging on the front  (Grade: 3, $1).  Another was mailed in 2012 with one stamp and large Moscow postmark (Grade: 1, $2).  The third is like the second, except mailed in 2013 (Grade: 1, $2).

Described by the sender as a “stylish belorussian card,” we agree.  Mailed in 2012 with “M” stamp and postmark.  Grade: 1

To make it clear, we have two of these items and they are not postcards.  They are folded greeting cards, and what you see here is the back of the card.  The front says “Merry X’mas & Happy New Year,” and the inside is a night time-lapse montage of Christmas ornaments, lights, and Air Macau logos, but no extra text.  These are unused.  One has a matching envelope (Grade: 1, $4) and the other has no envelope (Grade: 1, $3).

Two of these unused 5″ x 7″ cards are available.  They are as-issued, though this includes some print smudging on the reverse.  Grades: 1

From the registration number (JA8957) we learn this is a Boeing 747-481-D aircraft, still in service as of this writing.  These wonderful cards are unused, and we have four of them–limit one per customer.  Grades: 1

In fact, JA8094 is a Boeing 747-481 that an internet search tells us is no longer with ANA–though we didn’t dig deeper to find out where it went.  We have three of these cards.  Two are unused (Grades: 1, $7) and one has some writing on the reverse (Grade: 4, $2).

The front of this very special Concorde First Flight postcard is as you see.  The unused reverse has “Carte Postale 1er Jour” at the top, and “Avion Supersonique ‘CONCORDE'” on bottom left.  From 2nd March 1969.  Grade: 1

Distribution of this unused 4-1/2″ x 7″ card is necessarily limited by the caption’s text on the reverse:  “China Airlines will launch Taipei-Takamatsu services on March 21, creating a more comprehensive route network in Japan.”  That would either be in 2012 or 2013 (you could check), but the upper edge of the card is perforated, so it was part of a larger set or something else.  Grade: 1

This mailed card with two genuinely huge stamps would be perfect were it not that there’s no postmark.  Only because of that, we need to assign Grade: 4

Aging, mailed card–but the stamp is long gone and the 1982 postmark largely unreadable.  Grade: 4

This oft-photographed Aeroflot aircraft with registration number RA-85646 appears in many flight takeoff-and-landing websites until about 2008 or 2009, then dropped off the radar, so to speak.  We determined that as of the end of 2011 it had been scrapped, in Moscow.  The internet card however was mailed from Moldova with three different stamps and postmark, in 2013.  Grade: 1

Internet card with lenticular printing, made in Germany but mailed from Netherlands in 2013 with stamp and postmark.  The motion effect is of the plane flying right at you.  Grade: 1
