Fire Cracker Night at Victoria Harbour (Hong Kong)
The photo on this unused 5-1/2″ x 7″ Tourists Card #102 looks like it might have been taken from a tall building in North Point, looking towards Central District. Fireworks displays had been banned for awhile and it’s hard to say whether people care if they come back or not. (Too much of a good thing.) Grade: 1

Osaka, Tenjin Festival (Japan)
Unused card, whose English-language caption writer meant well but was not really up to the task. We get the idea that fireworks are part of the festival. Grade: 1

50th Anniversary of the Founding of the PR China (Set of 4) (Hong Kong)
This is Hongkong Post’s Postage Prepaid Picture Card Series No. 10, four unused cards with pre-printed coloured postage and issued in 1999. A nice little historical artifact. Grade: 1

Beautiful Shanghai, City Walk (Set of 12)
As many people know, Shanghai went through a striking evolutionary period. Yesterday’s postcards are already history. This is an unopened set of 12, and our scan shows you thumbnail photos of those cards — as of that moment. It’s a contemporary set from 2024, and if you can make it out, one of those cards shows fireworks. Grade: 1
