Empty Talking (DPR Korea)
Unused card from 2015, whose pre-printed postage on the back reflects the Pueblo incident of many years ago. We put the text on the front into Google Translate, and it came back as: “If you are one … Woo Lee is a not empty words”. Our Korean friend did better than this: “If I must do, I will do. We never do empty talking.” We have a few of these cards. Grades: 1

St. John (NB), Martello Tower (Canada)
At first, we thought this was a lighthouse, but after Googling we learned differently. Dating from the War of 1812, the tower–now called Carleton Martello Tower–is one of nine surviving in Canada and is more correctly defined as a stone defence tower. As for the postcard, mailed in 1909 with stamp and postmark but also many abrasions on the reverse. Grade: 4

Historical Postcard Collections of Hong Kong (set of 32)
We’re supposing this set was produced in the 1980s, from old photos. The cellowrap is gone but all 32 sepia unused cards are still bound in, and span a vast and interesting cross-section of places and themes, military, education, cemetery, ships, construction, waterfronts … so much. We will list this set in several theme categories, though without further explanation, so if it’s in a category you can be certain at least one card (but not all) meets the requirements. You will hardly find this set anywhere else–very scarce now. Because a price sticker lies over the original printed price, we’re assigning Grade: 2.

Code: 34200243
Price: $69.00
Devonport, Royal Naval Barracks (England)
Unused, undivided back B&W Valentine’s Series card. Some age mottling on the reverse. Grade: 2

Code: 34200245
Price: $1.00

Code: 34200248
Price: $7.00
Three in the snow (DPR Korea)
…and flowers at the same time? Submitting this to the phone camera’s Google Translate results in a flurry of wildly changing translations, one after another. The random one we captured said: “Let’s argue against the opponent with the cold wind spirit of Yangzhou!” We tried again and it said “Let’s fight against acidity”. Then we gave up. Unused. Grade: 1

Code: 34200249
Price: $8.00
Launching toward U.S. Capitol (DPR Korea)
Online translation came out as “American also will not connect no luxury nose”. Assuming this was not the meaning, we asked our Korean friend, who came up with “If you make North Korea at war, America will not be safe.” We trust our friend. Unused poster card. Grade: 1

Code: 34200250
Price: $7.00

Code: 34200252
Price: $12.00

This one, we could manage. The legend translates as “Merciless punishment to come!” Unused poster card. Grade: 1

Code: 34200253

Code: 34200254
Price: $7.00
Many rockets behind, in orange (DPR Korea)

Code: 34200255
Price: $9.00
