Brasilia – DF – Swans, Museum, Tribunal (Brazil)
Unused, aging, and not-too-inspiring card whose caption (also in Portuguese) reads: “Swans in the National Congress’ lake and the Museum and the Federal Supreme Tribunal in the back”. Grade: 2

Code: 30300510
Price: $2.00
Calidris canutus (DPR Korea)
We again dipped into Google for more information, and learned this from Wikipedia: “The red knot is a medium-sized shorebird which breeds in tundra and the Arctic Cordillera in the far north of Canada, Europe, and Russia. It is a large member of the Calidris sandpipers, second only to the great knot.” The caption is in Korean, with the scientific name in Latin. Two of these unused cards are available, with pre-printed colourful postage and apparently endorsed by the World Wildlife Fund. (Or not.) Grades: 1

Code: 30300520
Price: $3.00
The Cardinal (USA)
There’s a slight disconnect between what you see on the front of the unused card, and the explanation in the reverse caption that the cardinal (Richmondena Cardinalis) is the state bird of seven states. Aged, and minor staining. Grade: 3

Pair of birds (DPR Korea)
It is uncharacteristic of DPRK’s postal unit to issue cards like this without giving the species name, but it happened here: Korean and English-language captions only say “Bird”. Large and colourful oval pre-printed postage shows a different bird, Zoothera dauma, the scaly thrush. Unused. Grade: 1

Coro-Coros y Garzas Blancas (Venezuela)
