Hong Kong Airport Core Programme – High-speed comfort
Hong Kong’s brilliant “new” airport, Chek Lap Kok, opened in 1998. (Well, to many of us, it’s still new.) Sometime in the mid-1990s, the New Airport Projects Co-ordination Office issued a book of large (4-7/8″ x 8-3/4″) postcards and we have received some from that set, all unused, all with perforated top edge. To continue the series, this card shows that “Passengers will travel in comfort on the Airport Express”. Grade: 1

Royal Gorge, Grand Canyon of the Arkansas (Colorado, USA)
First, let’s get this observation out of the way: the Grand Canyon of the Arkansas is in Colorado, and the Grand Canyon of the Colorado is in Arizona. Maybe they could start over? Now, about the postcard: unmailed E.C. Kropp 32571, with a pencilled notation about the bridge in the message area. “The D. & R.G.W. Railroad and the Arkansas River run side by side…” Grade: 4

Code: 34800574
Price: $1.00

Code: 34800575
Price: $1.00

Welcome to Pyongyang (set of 10) (DPR Korea)

Beaulieu – La Petite Afrique (France)
Honestly we do not know whether there ever was a stamp on this old railroad postcard. It was mailed in 1916 and has what appears to be part of a German “chop” mark on the reverse. If you’re interested, we can scan and show you what we mean. Look hard, you’ll see the train on the front. Grade: 4

Price: $2.00
Shenzhen Image (set of 19) (PR China)
You could ask — as we initially did — why only 19 cards in the set, of course one must be missing. But not so. This is deliberate, because the set was issued in 2017 for the XIX International Botanical Congress. And what a set it is: unused, postage pre-printed 4″ x 7-1/2″ cards with impressive views of modern day Shenzhen’s various attractions. The scan for this entry 20307899A shows the sort of vinylized cover and one of the cards. Scans B and C show other cards for different categories, including Shenzhen North Station. Disclosure: we live right across the border from Shenzhen and didn’t know half of these places existed. Two sets are available. Grades: 1
