Motorcycle risk (Malaysia)
This cheery little greeting for your friends basically says, in Malay, that riding a motorbike gives you a choice of two risks: being wrapped up in a hospital, or wrapped up in a grave. Gosh. Card was prepared for mailing but there is no stamp so it probably went in an envelope. Grade: 4

Vespa
Somehow, we have three of these lenticular entries. How did that happen? They are unattributed and we call the motorcycle a Vespa because we know that’s what it is, though there is no caption.

Hong Kong Vintage Posting Box by Chocolate Rain (set)
It is odd for Hongkong Post to issue something like this, but they did, so we will describe the three sets we have. They are books of postcards, bound into a softcover sets of which you see the cover here. The whole thing measures 5-1/2″ x 9-1/2″ x about 1/4″ and is heavy. Of the 17 pages in each set, 16 are postcards (in the similar style as this photo, but different) and one is a sort of introductory page of the same size. Hope that’s clear. These are odd. Special postage rate will apply: please ask us. Grades: 1
