See 39600071A for description.

First, we are indebted to Wikipedia for this explanation of the temple itself:  “Nanhua Temple (南華寺) is a Buddhist monastery of the Chan School, one of Five Great Schools of Buddhism where Hui Neng, the Sixth Patriarch of the Chan School of Buddhism, once lived and taught. It is located 25 km southeast of Shaoguan in the town of Caoxi (漕溪), within Qujiang District. The location is in the northern part of Guangdong province.”  Now, to the item:  issued by Guangdong Philatelic in 2013, a hardcover set in a cardboard sleeve, measuring 11-3/8″ x 8-3/8″ x 1/2″.  Including front and inner back covers, a total of ten facings (four solid pages) with some text, all in Chinese.  Of those facings, one has a strip of mint stamps; one has a booklet of stamp sheetlets; four have (postmarked) first-day covers; and four have maximum cards (see 39600072B).  Two sets are available. Grades: 1

This card is making us work.  First, we are listing it geographically twice:  once under Estonia, where it is now; and once under USSR, where it once was.  Google gives us plenty of information about Tallinna Raekoda (in Estonian), describing it as “the only intact gothic style town hall in the Northern Europe.”  We have no reason to dispute that.  The front of the card is OK.  The reverse is not.  It is unwritten, but there had been some kind of stamp that was removed, and the right side looks like it had been pasted into a book or album.  Because the front is fine, we give this Grade: 4

We have two of these 2013 sets of two unused maximum cards, the Chinese one (red) showing Loop Drive and the Swedish one (blue) showing Forehand Service.  The sets were of course issued by China Post, and the scan shows both cards.  If by some chance your specialty is badminton postcards … Grade: 1

Set of four unused cards, captioned bilingually in Thai and English, not yet aging badly so they are in relatively good condition.   Grade: 1

Two of these sets are available, having four unused cards, with bilingual Thai/English captions, dated April 1997 (Thai 2540) and looking like they are right off the press.  We will do our best to keep them that way for you.  Grades: 1

Four maximum cards in this set.  The bilingual Thai/English caption also explains that Asalhapuja is an “Important Buddhist Religious Day.”  Issued in July, 1997.  Grade: 1

It almost looks like they were running out of ideas for visuals, but nevertheless, here’s a set of four unused cards from October 1999 (Thai 2542), each with minor postmark ink transfer on the reverse from having been stacked while wet.  We don’t consider this to be a defect.  Captions in Thai and English.   Grade: 1

Three sets of four cards, unused, captioned in Thai and English, from August 1997, are available.  One has minor age mottling on some of the reverses (Grade: 2, $16) and the others are better (Grade: 1, $18).
