The Second International Asian Hornbill Workshop (Maximum Cards) (Thailand) (set of 4)

Birds of Prey (set of five) (Maximum Cards) (DPR Korea)
DPRK sets can be confusing, and it takes a bit of sleuthing to figure out which cards go together. We think we have this one right, based on stamp and font design. Issued in 1992, five unused cards, each with Korean and scientific name of the respective bird, and Pyongyang attribution. Grades: 1

Code: 30300354

Sea birds (set of four) (DPR Korea)
A set of four unused cards, whose pre-printed stamps show different birds (and scientific names) than what’s on the front. The captions are in Korean only (example: 고니, swan) and do identify what’s on the front. Grades: 1

Code: 30300355
Price: $14.00
Heron (DPR Korea)
Unused 2009 card with large and colourful pre-printed postage. What you need to know: the main caption is in Korean (왜가리 = Heron) and “scientific” (Ardea cinerea), which is indeed a Grey heron. The stamp seems to show the same birds, but with a scientific name of Anthropoides paradisea, which is a Blue crane, the national bird of South Africa. Someone got confused; we’re just reporting. Grade: 1

Code: 30300356
Price: $6.00
Buteo buteo (DPR Korea)
Unused card from “Birdpex” in 2009. The caption is in Korean and the scientific name Buteo buteo (Common buzzard), while submitting the Korean on the front (저광이) just yields “The low light,” so that’s no help. There is pre-printed postage with a bird, but not a buzzard. It’s Coturnicops exquisitus, which is Swinhoe’s rail. This is far more than you wanted to know, we know. Grade: 1

Code: 30300357
Price: $6.00
Platalea minor (DPR Korea)
Platalea minor is the black-faced spoonbill, who makes a guest appearance on this 2009 card on the front and also in the pre-printed postage on the back. The caption is in Korean, with the scientific name. Grade: 1

Code: 30300358
Price: $4.00
