-
Yunlin, Timeless Journey (Taiwan)
Despite all that’s going on in the reverse of the card (stamps, huge special postmark, trilingual airmail sticker, logos, message, drawings), it’s in good condition and by our own standards we can’t downgrade the card because of those. Grade: 1

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 35200090A shows the sort of vinylized cover and one of the cards. Scans B and C show other cards for different categories, including Shenzhen Bay Sports Center. Disclosure: we live right across the border from Shenzhen and didn’t know half of these places existed. Two sets are available. Grades: 1
