Southampton, Isaac Watts’ Statue (England)
We did some digging to find out where this statue is, and we think we got it right — the card doesn’t say. Not postally used, but very heavily handled over the years, and with a message taking up most of the reverse. Grade: 5

Price: $1.00
Grodno, Elisa Azheshka monument (Belarus)
We wanted to know more about what this 4″ x 7-7/8″ card portrays, so we went to Google, as we always do. The result? Not much help, even with multiple westernised spellings of the first and last names. So we will leave that part to you. The card was mailed in 2013 with “M” stamp and Grodno postmark. Grade: 1

Moran Hill (set of three) (DPR Korea)
We don’t usually cite such long excerpts from anyone, but once again with thanks to Wikipedia we tell you a little about Moran Hill (Moranbong) in Pyongyang: “The hill is associated with the revolutionary history of President Kim Il-sung, leader Kim Jong-il. and his wife Kim Jong-suk. At the foot of the hill Kim Il-sung in the 1940s allegedly gave a public speech after returning from exile. At the foot of the hill is the Jonsung revolutionary site, which conveys the “revolutionary achievements” of Kim Il-sung and the Hungbu revolutionary site which is associated with the history of Kim Jong-il and includes trees bearing slogans written during the independence revolutionary struggle.” Take it from there. A set of three unused cards, captioned only in Korean, and with modest pre-printed postage. Grades: 1

Price: $12.00
Pyongyang, The Chollima Statue in the morning (Maximum Card) (DPR Korea)
Unused maximum card from 1981. There’s an English caption. Don’t be fooled by the design: the real stamp, with the cancellation, is at the lower left. The other stamp, on the upper right, is part of the design and not “real”. By the way, everything about this is quite different from other DPRK maximum cards. Grade: 1

We would imagine if you are a sports-minded UC Berkeley alum, you know all about this statue. If not, Google will bring you right back to 1898. The card itself? From 1912, with stamp and postmark, and a message from Ned that will remain cryptic forever. Grade: 2
