China (set)
The scan shows front and back cover of this set of 30 unused cards from PR China. Though the photos are small (in the scan) and the cards themselves very slightly smaller than usual, you might be able to see it’s a mixture of conventional cute and downright odd. To us, the advantage is that several of the photos look a lot like our beloved Mau-Mau. Two sets are available. Special postage rates will apply; please ask. Grades: 1

Lovely Cat Post Card (set) – front (China)
These are wonderful “cat postcards” and if you have any feeling at all for kitty, your heart will melt at the cards in this set from China. But here’s the odd twist: as you may see in the scan of the reverse cover (see 32800100B), it says there are 32 sheets. But there are 34 thumbnail pictures. So which is it? 32 or 34 cards? We don’t know, because the set is in its original wrapping. We could open it but don’t want to spoil the mystery. Assume 32, and hope for 34? Grade: 1
