This is a large (6-1/4″ x 7-1/8″) book of 53 attached postcards forming a 2006 calendar. The cards can be de-perforated (?) from the calendar part, and sent. If you’re interested, drop us a note and we will calculate the accurate postage for you.  Grade: 1

Six unused cards are available, from GoCART postcard advertising, which we are happy to advertise on their behalf.  Grades: 1

Careful!  This is not a postcard!  It’s a novelty tear-off calendar published by Valentine’s Novelty Calendars in Great Britain a long time ago, measuring 4.25″ x 6″ altogether.  We do not know what year it is because we have not removed this from the plastic bag we received it in.  So we make no guarantees about year or condition of the little calendar inside.  Google was no help at all.  The reverse is blank. 

Mailed in 1910 with stamp and postmark.  Grade: 2

Undivided back, unused card.  Interesting that the illustration shows a $2 bill!  Grade: 3

The text is fun to read, especially about being open on Saturday Evenings.  This card has an address typed on the undivided back, and was mailed, though there’s no stamp or postmark because it was the Bulk Mail of its time.  Grade: 1

Unused card.  Grade: 1

Unused, and as of this typing you can still get half a year’s use out of it.  Most of the scenes are identified on the back.  Grade: 1

Unused card from a series called “1930’s Shanghai Calendar Girls,” but please do note these are new, contemporary postcards.  Grade: 1

This set of 25 contemporary cards measures 7-7/8″ x 4-7/8″ x 1/2″, and because it is still sealed in the original cellowrap, we can’t verify what each individual card shows.  What we CAN say is that the scan you see is the back cover of the set, and if those thumbnails represent the 25 cards, that would explain where they got the figure “100”.  In any event, the set is unused and normal postage rates apply.  Two sets are available.   Grades: 1

There’s a considerable back-story to this unused maximum card, and we are absolutely unable to explain it.  We consulted Hong Kong friends who said, in effect, nobody in Hong Kong now really understands this calendrical cycle well.  It’s apparently an old tradition in Mainland China.  Please don’t hold it against us that we can’t go much further than this, but the (Chinese-only) text on the reverse caption sounds something like “Mao Zi”.  It’s China Post’s card MC(E)-9 and postmarked 2008 but only went on sale in the Shenzhen post office in 2018.  Confused?  Not just you!  Grade: 1

Or, as fine print reveals at the top of this 5-7/8″ x 8-1/4″ card, Dai Dark … Q-Hayashida/Shogakukan.  Mailed from Taiwan in 2021, the reverse has no more captioning but does have three stamps, two postmarks, decorative tape, message … Not to our taste, but maybe exactly to yours!  Grade: 4

We’re shocked this highly aged card has survived in such good condition:  stamp, partly legible postmark, and a long message in tiny Spanish handwriting that directed the card to Barcelona via New York in 1907.  It’s really nice, and can be yours.  Grade: 1

A lovely example of a calendar postcard, maybe not overly practical but perfectly representing its era.  As a bonus, it was mailed in August 1909, with stamp and completely clear Washington, D.C. postmark, to the Canal Zone.   Grade: 1
