Sarawak Museum, Kuching (Malaysia)
This is a perfect card for someone wanting the total Borneo package–excellent condition, Sarawak stamp, and full postmark. S.W. Singapore card KC441. Grade: 1

Code: 34400054
Price: $3.50
Portrait de Madame de Pompadour (F. Boucher)
Trust us about this: if you were to go to Google to search either the Museum (Musee d’Edimbourg) or the painting, you would come away from that as confused as we were. The museum is in Edinburgh; the lead Google entry for the museum is in France; and Boucher apparently was prolific in his output of Pompadour art. So we’ll stop with that, telling you that this old sepia-tint card is unused and captioned in French. Grade: 1

Code: 34400055
Price: $3.00
Map of Singapore Museums
This 5-1/2″ x 7-3/4″ card began life in Singapore from the National Heritage Board, made its way unused to Canada, and was mailed from there to Hong Kong with three different uncancelled stamps in 2022. All those museums are identified in the caption, and as for the stamps — you can do the math. Grade: 3

Code: 34400056
Price: $2.00
Whitney Museum of Modern Art (New York)
Stamped for mailing (8-cent) but no postmark. Alas it may be too late to try again but you do get that 8-cent rebate on the card … Grade: 4

Contemplative Bodhisattva, Gilt Bronze, Nat. Museum of Korea (S. Korea)
Unused 4-7/8″ x 6-7/8″ card issued by the National Museum of Korea. On the front, it looks normal. On the reverse, though perfectly clean, the printing goes all over and looks lopped off, but maybe it was designed that way. We doubt that. Grade: 1

Code: 34400070
Price: $2.00
Millstone Base at Reservation Museum, Zaslawye (Belarus)
This 4″ x 7-3/4″ card from 2010 is fully written on the reverse, but unstamped (and mailed in an envelope). The front of the card is therefore in perfect shape, but the card itself is Grade: 4
