Kaohsiung, multiple views (group of 11) (Taiwan)
Here’s an exceptional value if you are collecting island-shaped Taiwanese cards. We’re calling this “group of 11” instead of “set of 11” because we suspect there might be one card missing.

Cape Pembroke Lighthouse (Falkland Islands)
Little extra comment: we don’t know how many lighthouses there are in the world–nobody does–or how many lighthouse postcards there are, either. We have spent some time trying to build a fair representation of them, and were very happy to find this one. Actually we have two of these cards. One is unused (Grade: 1, $8) and the other–very special to us–was mailed from Stanley in 2016 with stamp and clear postmark. Corner creasing from being in transit, on the lower left (Grade: 2, $14).

Taiwan?
This card was produced in Taiwan by a Department of Geography, but the Chinese-only caption doesn’t identify it. If one of our Taiwanese friends knows which lighthouse this is, and wants to tell us, we’ll fix the listing! Two of these unused cards are available. Grades: 1

We (heart) Macau, and Guia Lighthouse
Unused card still in its original cellowrap. And a bit unusual, for saying “We” instead of “I”. We want to make it clear that the “Macau” sticker on the upper right is part of the wrapper, not a stamp, and not on the postcard. Grade: 1

Code: 34000636
Price: $4.00

Code: 34000638
Price: $3.00
Hengchun Peninsula, Eluanbi Lighthouse (Taiwan)
Unused card issued by the Riverside Hotel Group in Kaohsiung. The scan might not make it immediately clear that the upper half of the heart is cut to shape. Two of these cards are available; Grades: 1
