  • Red bird of paradise (Papua New Guinea)

    Paradisaea rubra on this unused, official card issued by Post PNG.  Or maybe not Paradisaea rubra, because the caption on the back says “Paradisaea raggiana is the national bird of Papua New Guinea…” and goes on to describe that species’ status.  Three of these cards are available.  Grades: 1

  • Ocean Park (Hong Kong) (Maximum Cards) (set of 6)

    A set of six maximum cards, issued by Hongkong Post in August 2020, with philatelic postmarks.  The animals include the King Penguin, Giant Panda, Meerkat, Sichuan Golden Snub-nosed Monkey, Toco Toucan, and Indo-Pacific Bottlenose Dolphin.  All at that time to be found in one of Hong Kong’s two big theme parks, both of which had struggled mightily during the pandemic.   Grades: 1

  • Yellowhammer (Alabama, USA)

    This card barely qualifies as one we would include, but it looks good enough on the front so we’ll let it appear.  Mailed in 2020, the reverse has a round Global Forever poinsettia stamp and bar coding and USPS airmail label but also a taped address label and other additions that make this no more than a space filler — unless you really, really like yellowhammers or camellias.  Grade: 5

    Code: 30300613

    Price: $0.50

  • Alaskan Bald Eagle, Homer (Alaska)

    Mailed in 2015, the card has a round Global Forever stamp, Anchorage postmark, and glittery sticker of a moose head on the reverse.  Grade: 3

    Code: 30300615

    Price: $1.00

    Alaskan Bald Eagle, Homer (Alaska)

  • Seagull (Canada)

    Mailed from Canada in the early 1980s (we think), the card has its stamp, faint postmark, and a prominent thumbtack hole.  Grade: 5

    Code: 30300621T

    Price: $0.30

  • Gifu, Cormorants and Nagara-Bashi Bridge (Japan)

  • Skokholm Island, Puffins “billing” in Crab Bay (Wales)

    Unlike other cards in this short series, this one was mailed, in 1952, with four stamps and the postmark.  Two stamps overlap each other, and two were cancelled by marker when the postmark didn’t reach them.  Otherwise, all is well.  Grade: 3

  • Everglades National Park – Purple Gallinule (Florida, USA)

    Mailed from Canada (not Florida!) in what looks like 1988, with stamp and obscured postmark and airmail sticker.  The card describes the Purple Gallinule as a “rare find”, which it may be since we’ve never seen one either.  Grade: 4

  • White-necked Jacobin Humming Bird (Jamaica)

    Also kindly identified as Florisuda Mellivora, on this card mailed in 1989, with stamp and postmark and a really long message.  Grade: 1

    Price: $3.00

    White-necked Jacobin Humming Bird (Jamaica)

  • Osprey (Scotland)

    At least the card tells us this bird’s scientific name is Pandion haliaetus, so let that satisfy the search engines!  For the rest of us, the card was mailed in 1990 with a 24p stamp, and postmark.  Grade: 1

  • Frigatebird

    It’s a fine, unused card from Lindblad/National Geographic, and we know it comes from the Galapagos in Ecuador, but we can’t say so because the card itself doesn’t — just the name of the bird.  Grade: 1

    Code: 30300634
