Five of these jumbo (6″ x 9″) cards are available. Technically we suppose they are not postcards because they don’t have a pre-printed address section on the reverse. But they look and feel like huge cards and could probably be used that way. Never mailed, as-new. Grades: 1 ($9 each)

Card issued by Norwegian American cruises and mailed from Juneau in 1982. Two stamps, but no legible postmark. Grade: 2

Google doesn’t give up anything about this card, issued by Kropp in Milwaukee (No. 3281) a long time ago. Never mailed, appropriately aged. Grade: 2

Never got there. Always wanted to. This Burney L. Ramming card of Old Ben, the sea lion, was mailed internationally in 1992, with one stamp and full Avalon postmark. Has a red rubber-stamped Air Mail from post office on reverse. Minor abrasion on upper left corner. Grade: 2

Timeless yet slightly generic view of the coast of Maine, near the mouth of the Kennebunk River. It’s Dexter Press card 32028-C (also M-1323), unused, with serrated edges, great condition. Grade: 1

Unmailed, official souvenir card from the joint exhibit of these two vehicles. (Vehicles?) Mike Roberts card 07-0114-009 and B15228, never mailed, beginning to mottle a bit on reverse but front is clean. Grade: 2

Unused Selithco card from E.F. Clements (#206), from late 1950s, with Bay Bridge in background. The card has a large rubber stamp from a travel agent on reverse. Grade: 4

Mailed in 1984. 64-cent stamp is intact (though upside down) and postmark is legible. Other than very minor edge abrasions, card looks OK. Grade: 2

Never-mailed Mark Turok card, great on the front and beginning to age a bit on reverse. Grade: 2

A good search engine will give you more of the story, but the caption on this unused M. Sternberg card tells you most of what you need to know. Significant album indents on the corners, and someone has made an inked notation on the reverse of the type of vessel the Rosario was.  Grade: 4

Card 17 printed in Germany, and Specially Made for The Graeco Egyptian Tobacco Store. No, the title does not refer to what now can commonly be found in Hong Kong Harbour, or what’s left of it.  Unused.  Grade: 2

We know it’s a sampan, and someone long aso also wrote “sampan” in Japanese on the back of this otherwise uncaptioned real-photo card. It doesn’t indicate that the setting is China but we believe that to be the case. Grade: 2

Card mailed in 1996. Stamp is intact and postmark is fully legible but it missed the stamp.  A little creasing and buffeting around the edges.  Grade: 3

These are not to be seen in Hong Kong’s harbour any more, unless it is the one sponsored by the Tourist Association, which is definitely not the one pictured here! The card is probably from the 1970s, not mailed but with an extensive message written on the back.  Grade: 4

When there still was a Hilton in Hong Kong, it was a rare treat to be invited aboard the Wan Fu. Now, no more Hilton, and no more Wan Fu. We think. Where did it go? Card mailed in 1984, two stamps, full postmark, blue tri-lingual airmail stamp affixed.  Grade: 1

First ferries, then hydrofoils, then jetfoils, then helicopters, and soon–a bridge. Unused card from the 1970s.  Grade: 1

Unused card that makes this liner look awfully large.  Grade: 1

Two cards are available, also from 1991. One has commemorative stamp and partial postmark but has a noticeable edge abrasion confined mostly to lower right reverse (Grade: 4, $2). The other card would normally be Grade 2 but instead of postmarking the stamp, someone drew through it with a pen (Grade: 4, $2).
