Here’s a set of 36 unused cards sealed in their original cellowrap. We blanked out the original price so as not to confuse you. Our scan 34800593B shows the back cardboard cover, with 35 thumbnails.

Price: $3.00
Baltimore, Bird’s-Eye View of Saint Paul Street Bridge and Union Station (Maryland, USA)

Price: $2.00
Skagway, White Pass & Yukon Route (Alaska, USA) (3D)
Sturdy, unused, lenticular (3D) card with — unusually — three different views depending on the angle of viewing. The scan can’t do it justice but each of those three views shows the train. Rounded corners. Grade: 1

The Transalpine, Kowai Bridge (New Zealand)

Code: 34800604
Price: $12.00
Kazan (Russia) (set of 18) – two railroad theme (not postcards)
You can unfold the cover, remove the cards, see the fronts, and it is only when you turn them over that you see the reverses are fully printed (in Russian) with details of what they show. So, yes, they are unused; and no, you could not mail them as postcards in the usual way. But they are the right size and shape, and deserve listing here anyway. This set also marks the most different theme categories for any one entry, so there’s that. Inside, cards of Metro Station Ametyevo and also the Railway Station. Grade: 1

Code: 34800605
Price: $15.00
Hong Kong MTR
One of the most comprehensively iconic cards we have to represent the 2019-2020 situation, in which Hong Kong’s metro system figured prominently. Unused, with different QR Codes on the reverse. Not for sale to Hong Kong residents. Grade: 1

Code: 34800606C*
Price: $24.00
Stand with Hong Kong (set of 4)
Refer to our Hong Kong entry 20308821C as to why the photo looks like this. The white strip in the middle is a paper sleeve that keeps the four cards together. By now you may be wondering why most of this type of card are relatively expensive. They typically weren’t free at the source. Vendors “requested” extra payment to help fund their activities. Now, as a reminder, if you want to see full photos, just ask us. Unused. Grade: 1

Code: 34800607C*
Price: $36.00
Maximum Cards of Taiwan Relics Postage Stamps (Issue of 2020) (set of 4) (Taiwan)
First, despite what’s written on the cardboard cover for this set, these are not maximum cards. They have no stamps and no postmarks. But they are unused, and show Gongziliao Fort, the Railway Division of Taiwan Governor General’s Bureau of Transportation, Dalongdong Baoan Temple, and Tainan District Court Building. Chunghwa Post is strange this way. We once went into one of its philatelic branches and saw a similar set of “maximum” cards without stamps. When we pointed this out to the clerk, she said — in effect — oh yes, that’s how we do it, and took out some stamps and a postmark chop so she could do it on the spot. (But not all Taiwanese maximum cards are managed this way.) Grade: 1

Code: 34800608
Price: $9.00

Price: $0.50
Car 745 — 9-11 Survivor, The Shore Line Trolley Museum (Connecticut, USA)
An extensive caption detailing what happened to Car 945 on 9/11 in New York City highlights this excellent card, mailed in 2021 with four stamps (three postmarked). The postmark itself is a very large hand-cancel. Grade: 1

Code: 34800615
Price: $4.00
Speed of China! CRH (PR China)
CRH in this case means China Railway High-speed, and this 4-1/8″ x 7-1/4″ card is one of theirs. It’s on thick paper stock, and with four different stamps and two clear and full Guangzhou postmarks, it would be an iconic addition to a collection of railroad postcards. Grade: 1

Code: 34800616
Price: $6.00
Hauptbahnhof, Berlin
Berlin Hauptbahnhof is the main railway station in Berlin, and came into full operation two days after a ceremonial opening on 26 May 2006.

Code: 34800620
Price: $3.00
Kalavrita Railway Station, Coach 131 (Greece)
Actually “recently renovated” coach 131, though the card does not necessarily make it look so. Mailed in 2021, with two stamps (and one is of a train engine) and two postmarks, this is a “prepaid postcard” by Hellenic Post. Grade: 1

Code: 34800621
Price: $4.00

Mailed from USA in 2021 with four stamps and Spokane postmark. Artwork by Christopher Arndt, as part of a series. Grade: 1

Code: 34800622

Canon City, Royal Gorge, Diesel Train (Colorado, USA)
Unused Dexter Press card 84134 from Sanborn Souvenir, with rounded corners and a caption on the back calling the Suspension Bridge you see here spanning the Arkansas River the “World’s Highest Bridge”. It should surprise nobody that Googling a list of “world’s highest bridges” now ranks this one as #24, behind one in Mexico, one in Papua New Guinea, and 21 in PR China. Grade: 1

Code: 34800623
Price: $3.00

Price: $3.00
Grand Teton National Park, Teton Range, Jackson Lake (Wyoming, USA)
Unmailed H.S. Crocker card NPR-1, issued by Northern Pacific Railway (and with their logo), offering this view to travelers who wanted a side trip from Old Faithful or the Grand Canyon. Seven proper nouns in one short caption. There’s some marking in the lower part of the address area. Grade: 3
