The world’s largest Buddhist monument. Buddha would be proud. Unused 4-1/2″ x 6-1/2″ card. Grade: 1
-
Central Java, Hindu Temple
Card was never postally used, though someone has pencilled on the reverse: “1000 Buddhas Temple, Prambanan.” Having visited Prambanan ourselves, we agree with this assessment. Grade: 3
-

In the original shrink wrap and therefore unopened, a set of 12 unused aerial shots of mostly urban structures, and the Big Buddha. Grade: 1
-
Buddha, Champasak (Laos)

-
Khao Takiab Buddha Image, Hua Hin (Thailand)

-
North Thailand, Doi Kong Moo
Doi Kong Moo holds the cremated bone of the Buddha. There’s also a picture of Jong Klang Temple here. The card was mailed from Malaysia (not Thailand) in 1991, with Malaysian stamp and full postmark, but to be honest the front of the card looks a lot better than the reverse. Grade: 4
-
Million Buddhas Precious Pagoda, Penang (Malaysia)
Mailed in 1991, this card has a Pahang stamp and almost full postmark. Front is near-perfect though back has small staining. Grade: 3
-
Reclining Buddha, Penang (Malaysia)
Mailed in 1991, with two stamps, full postmark, but some smudging on front. The Buddha is 33 meters long, by the way. Grade: 2
-
The Statue of the Budha (sic) at Lantau Island (Hong Kong)
Purported to be the world’s largest seated outdoor bronze Buddha, we have no way to prove otherwise. Just across from the Po Lin Monastery, and a scary cable car ride up from Tung Chung. Unused card. Grade: 1
-
Wat Chayamangkalaram Temple and Buddha, Penang (Malaysia)
Mailed in 1991 from Negeri Sembilan, this card has the stamp and mostly readable postmark. Aging a bit, but in generally good condition. Grade: 2

Ayutthaya, line of ruins Buddha Images in Wat Mahatat
The header is as the caption reads, but then goes on to explain that either the images or the Wat were destroyed by the Burmese in 1767. This card was mailed in 1990 with three different commemoratives and large Bangkok postmark. Grade: 2
-
I Heart Phitsanulok – Phra Buddha Chinnarat (Thailand)

Bang Saphan, Khao Thong Chai (Thailand)
Unused card from 2012. Grade: 1

Middel (sic) Stair of The Statue of the Buddha & Po Lin Monastery at Lan Tau Island (Hong Kong)

-
San Francisco, Haight Street scenes
A card for many categories. Yes, The Buddha is everywhere. Unused. Grade: 1
-
Welcome to Hong Kong (set)
This is a set of five unused cards creatively sealed in what looks like a foil retort pouch (the type you can buy peanuts in). It can’t be opened without destroying the packaging so we haven’t done that, but we could guess that some or all of the cards look like the photo in the scan. No guarantee! Various stickers on the back of the foil don’t affect the postcards. The Buddha here is at Ngong Ping on Lantau Island. Grade: 1
-
Six Devas outside the Giant Buddha (Hong Kong)
Unused card, 5-1/4″ x 7″. Grade: 1
-

-
Gold and Bronze Buddha Statues Stamp Collection (with postcards) (China)
The title for this item is not wrong, but slightly misleading for our purposes because the book has six postcards in it. It’s a book inside a cardboard cover (pictured here), overall measurements 8-3/8″ x 11-1/4″. Like many of the other items we have listed, this is a book of 16 page facings (inside covers plus seven pages) including stamp sheets, stamped envelope covers, and postcards in Maximum Card style except that none of these items have postmarks. See 40100053B for one of the pages with a postcard. Grade: 1
-
Borobudur in Central Java (Indonesia)
Unused card. Grade: 1
