-
Ano Lunar do Coelho (Year of the Rabbit – 2023) (Set of 4) (~Maximum Cards) (Macau)
Another CTT set of four unused cards for 2023 (BPL 296-299) in maximum style, meaning that the stamps don’t quite match the cards — but close enough, thematically. We have two sets available. Grades: 1
-
Lunar Year of the Tiger 2022 (set of 6) (PR China)
Issued by China Post, with pre-printed postage and remarkable lottery and QR code attachments … our scan shows the cover and two of the unused cards in this set of six. Hard to believe we’ve already cycled through the Chinese calendar, but so it is! Grade 1
-
Seasons Greetings 1962 (USA)
… and Happy New Year, but we have *absolutely no idea* what is going on here. The front of the embossed card is as you see, with that small individually-paged 1962 calendar at the bottom. It seems a bit fragile, so we have not tried to flip those pages and see if they are all there. But that is not the real mystery. The card was mailed in 1911 (not 1961 or 1962) from St. Louis. The stamp and postmark are there, and we cannot say whether the calendar was added later or not. Otherwise, Grade: 1

Hongkong Post – Merry Christmas
As mailed with their bilingual postal imprint for either 2021 or 2022, not certain which one. Grade: 1
-
Kandy (Ceylon)
Despite two overlapping postmarks, it’s hard to say when this old postcard was mailed — early in the 20th century, we think. As many senders did in those days, they wrapped the stamp over to the front. It might not be obvious in the small scan, but there’s a “Christmas Greetings” imprint on the upper left. Grade: 1
-
Merry Christmas from Hongkong Post (2023)
Mailed with address label using the post office’s bilingual postage imprint. Grade: 1
-
Lunar New Year 2010 – Year of the Tiger (Maximum Card) (Hong Kong)
Unused, and in full Maximum Card style. Grade: 1
-
Merry Christmas 1990 (Hong Kong)
From the Philatelic Bureau of the General Post Office, this unused card with two different stamps and two large postmarks, and a bilingual caption whose English version we repeat here: “First day of issue: 8 November 1990, At the end of 1989 the Post Office organised an open competition for designs for the 1990 Christmas stamp issue. One of the entries is reproduced on this postcard.” (Sorry, but we hope it didn’t win.) The card is showing its age. Grade: 2
-
Christmas Island, aerial view (Kiribati)
Just a gentle reminder that there are a few Christmas Islands scattered here and there around the world. This unused 4″ x 8-1/4″ postcard is where it belongs, under Kiribati; and also here, for the most obvious reason! Grade: 1
-
Christmas Island (Kiritimati), Beach Resort (Kiribati)
The unused 4″ x 8-1/4″ postcard’s caption is unfortunately generic, and after awhile the various resorts’ facilities do tend to look similar. If you can accept that, you might enjoy lazing around on this beach. We would! Grade: 1
-
The stunning lagoon on Christmas Island (Kiribati)
Our header for this unused, 4″ x 8-1/4″ card is the card’s own caption. We don’t doubt that it’s stunning but at the same time manages to look a bit … bleak. Grade: 1
