Postage Prepaid Lunar New Year Greeting Card Series No. 1 (Air Mail)
This is the first set of Lunar New Year Greeting Cards issued by Hongkong Post. The Greeting Cards that convey warm Lunar New Year festive wishes are designed by Mr. George TANG. They are environmentally friendly in that they obviate the need for postage stamp and envelopes. They can be folded and sealed at the edges, hence providing enough space for writing messages and yet ensuring privacy. The Greeting Cards, prepaid in airmail postage denominations, are sold in sets of 6 cards and at $30 per set at all 37 philatelic offices. A sales restriction of 5 sets of cards per queuing customer will be imposed on the first day of sale.
As from 4 December 2008 (Thursday), these Greeting Cards will be put on display for advance information of the public at General Post Office, Tsim Sha Tsui Post Office, Tsuen Wan Post Office and Sha Tin Central Post Office.
No special postmark is introduced for this set of Greeting Cards. However, hand-back datestamping service will be available on 11 December 2008 (Thursday) at all 37 philatelic offices using the normal office datestamp ("GPO-1" datestamp at General Post Office only), philatelic office pictorial postmark and the "Philatelic Bureau" pictorial postmark. Also on the same day, the public hall of the Hongkong Post Philatelic Bureau on 1/F., Trade Square, 681 Cheung Sha Wan Road, Kowloon, will open from 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. for datestamping these Greeting Cards with the "Philatelic Bureau" pictorial postmark.
