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

Code: 30300362
Price: $4.00
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
Geese (Anser cygnoides) (set of 4) (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

Code: 30300367
Price: $14.00
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
Baby owls (DPR Korea)
Unused 2013 card, captioned front and back only in Korean. The pre-printed postage is a large rendition of Surnia ulula. Grade: 1

Code: 30300370
Price: $4.00
Bubo bubo (Maximum Card) (PR China)
Unused Maximum Card from 1995 of what we otherwise know as the Eurasian eagle owl. Note ethnic script on the postmark. Grade: 1

Code: 30300375
Price: $8.00
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 2) (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

Code: 30300378
Price: $6.00
Pets: cockatoo (Maximum Card) (Australia)
Unused maximum card issued on 1 October 1996. Pre-paid postage printed on the reverse as well. Grade: 1

Code: 30300381
Price: $7.00
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

Code: 30300396
Price: $6.00
Chickens (set of 6) (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

Code: 30300399
Price: $23.00
Mandarin ducks (group of four) (Maximum Cards) (DPR Korea)
From 1987, with slightly flawed postmarks (note what should be “WWF”) , this set of four unused maximum cards all showing Aix galericulata and captioned in both Korean and the scientific name. Grades: 1

Code: 30300403
Price: $20.00
Curlew (Finland)
What a shame Posti (Finland) didn’t go ahead and issue this as a maximum card, but it’s not. Mailed in 2014 with another very large stamp, Priority label, and postmark on the back. Grade: 1

Code: 30300404
Price: $3.00
Birds (set of 5) (Maximum Cards) (DPR Korea)
All or part of each of the five maximum cards in this unused set appear in the scan. Issued in 2003. The captions are in Korean, and the stamps have the scientific names in tiny print. Grade: 1

Code: 30300413
Price: $22.50

Price: $20.00
Birds (set of 4, front captions) (Maximum Cards) (DPR Korea)
Set of four unused maximum cards, with captions on the fronts. Issued in 2009, and we think this set commemorates the 50th anniversary of Pyongyang’s Zoo. But we do not guarantee that to be true. Grade: 1

Code: 30300417
Price: $18.00
Owls (set of 4) (Maximum Cards) (DPR Korea)
Bilingual captions on the fronts of the four maximum cards in this unused set. It was issued in 2013. Grade: 1

Parts of all six unused maximum cards are visible in the scan. Captions in Korean and “scientific”. Want to know what they are? Egretta alba, Platalea minor, Ardea cinerea, Ciconia boyciana, Grus vipio, and Grus japonensis. That will keep the search engines busy. Grades: 1

Code: 30300430

Serie Preservacao da Fauna – Fregata Atoba (Maximum Card) (Brazil)
Both the Portuguese caption and the postmark on this maximum card leave us a little uncertain but we think (after a search) this unused card was issued in 1985. It involves Parque Nacional Marinho Dos Abrolhos and at least two species of sea birds, Sula dactylatra and Sula leucogaster. There’s more in the caption but this will do for now. The unused card issued by Correios e Telegrafos carries serial number 039008. Aging somewhat. Grade: 1

Code: 30300486
Price: $4.00
Serie Preservacao da Fauna – Fregata Atoba (Maximum Card)(Brazil)
This unused card was issued in 1985. It involves Parque Nacional Marinho Dos Abrolhos and at least two species of sea birds, Sula dactylatra and Sula leucogaster. Possibly Phaethon aethereus as well. (The postmark in 30300486 wasn’t so clear, but this one is.) Two of these maximum cards are available, issued by Correios e Telegrafos and bearing serial numbers 006153 and 006158. Aging somewhat.

Cuzco, Condor in the Ruins of Sacsahuaman (Peru)
Even though this unused Swiss Foto card C-1439, sponsored by Faucett Airlines, is noticeably aged on the reverse, you’ll be hard put to find a more striking condor postcard. At least we think so. Grade: 3
