1907-18 Era Japan Ukiyo-e Utagawa Kuniyoshi Postcard SAMURAI AHEI ORIBE KANAMARU

Description: Offering an assortment of pre-war Japanese non-topographic postcards, western Japanese theme cards, and artist-signed cards. See my other listings for the rest. ––––––– Remember to to pay for your multiple purchases with ONE payment to insure you get combined shipping for the best price. We'll refund excess postage on combined orders, but not on separate orders, so please wait and pay all at once, not after each lot closes. We get charged 30-40¢ for every separately-paid order, which makes it prohibitive to give the best discount for combined shipping of separate orders. 1907-18 Era Japan Ukiyo-e Utagawa Kuniyoshi Postcard SAMURAI AHEI ORIBE KANAMARU Type II postcard back. I believe the text identifies this as 78-year old Ahei Oribe Kanmaru. Condition of this original vintage postcard is VG+ to Excellent. 241210 / 9623 R12/29/2024 AUS _____________________________ The large scans below offer the best description of the condition of the postcards offered. I will try to describe any defects that might not be apparent on the large scans I provide. Right-click the photos below in your computer browser to select "view image" in order to see a full-size image, and then bid with confidence. A quick guide to the postcard grading standard we use: MINT: A perfect card just as it comes from the printing press. No marks, bends, or creases. No writing or postmarks. NEAR MINT (NM): Like mint but very light aging of very slight discoloration from being in an album for many years. Not as sharp or crisp. EXCELLENT (EX): Like mint in appearance with no bends or creases, or rounded or blunt corners. May be postally used or unused and with writing and postmark only on the address side. A clean, fresh card on the picture side. VERY GOOD (VG): Corners may be just a bit blunt or rounded. Almost undetectable crease or bend that does not detract from overall appearance of the picture side. May have writing or postally used on the address side. A very collectible card. GOOD (G): Corners may be noticeably blunt or rounded with noticeable slight bends or creases. May be postally used or have writing on address side. FAIR: Card is intact. Excess soil, stains, creases, writing, or cancellation may affect picture. POOR: Self-explanatory, sold as-is. Orders over $10 will require package service with delivery confirmation. Additional purchases will be combined if bought same day, for one low shipping rate, if you follow the directions. Sales Tax may apply. Please read and accept my terms of sale below before you bid. IN YOUR COMPUTER BROWSER, RIGHT-CLICK ON A PHOTO AND SELECT "VIEW IMAGE" TO SEE THE ORIGINAL LARGE IMAGE: You will find that the originals of the photos below are often larger than what ebay provides above. BY BIDDING ON OR PURCHASING THIS ITEM, YOU ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE TO THE FOLLOWING SELLER TERMS: 1) COMBINED SHIPPING/POSTAGE: a. I happily combine shipping (where possible, sometimes it isn't), but postcard orders of more than 3 cards and/or $20 require tracked packages. So there might not be a discount on several inexpensive cards combined, and you accept this. Non-postcard purchases generally require a tracked package. International orders combine shipping per eBay's latest global delivery rules. b. If you haven't paid yet for multiple purchases, please wait for a combined invoice, which may take up to 24 hours to send you. Don't worry, it's not a race to see how fast you can pay. c. If you must pay immediately, make sure all the items are on the same payment transaction (same order). I will then be able to combine shipping (if possible) and send you a partial refund for overpayment of postage. Some people make numerous multiple purchases with separate payments and look for the best shipping discount. That will not happen, so please add your items to your cart, and when you are done looking at my stuff, buy it all at once. Thanks! 2) POSTAGE: All USPS postage rates are calculated using the most affordable (not the quickest) shipping class, based on a pre-sale estimated weight and size of the package. Sometimes multiple options are offered. If you want to upgrade to a quicker, more expensive postal class not shown, you must let me know BEFORE you pay. All requests for special handling, extra packaging, etc. must be made prior to payment so that invoice can be adjusted A handling fee of 30-45¢ is added to every order, depending on sale price, otherwise the postage is as-calculated from the USPS. Did you know that eBay takes 12-15% from sellers as a fee on the postage we collect from you? 3) INSURANCE: In the event of loss or damage on insured packages, buyer agrees to cooperate and to fulfill all requirements of the insurer in the processing of a claim, or forfeits their right to request a refund. 4) SALES TAX: Ebay has taken over all responsibility for sales tax collection for all states that require it. I have no control whatsoever over who pays sales tax, it is out of my hands. The same is true for all international taxes, duties and VAT. Please direct all questions/complaints to the good folks at Ebay. 5) INTERNATIONAL BUYERS: We no longer ship any merchandise (as in postcards) via letter rate internationally. It is prohibited by the UPU (subject to seizure or return), and is also not trackable. International shipping is offered as a courtesy to those who are willing to pay for it, and is handled entirely through eBay. All Import duties, taxes, and charges are handled by eBay as well. I no longer ship directly, because of the excessive amount of “item not received” claims, resulting in my loss. Most of my international postcard buyers, who prefer to pay the lower letter rate postage, have a friend/relative in the USA to whom I can ship several postcards in a letter (for about $1.00-1.50 at time of this listing), and will specify this prior to payment. If you do this, then that friend can forward the postcards in a letter rate envelope to you the buyer, and the shipping risk will be yours, not mine. Multiple purchases can also be combined when you ship to a USA recipient, but the eBay global shipping program is supposed to be making combined shipping available at some point in the future. 6) REPRODUCTION OF IMAGES: Seller is not selling exclusive rights to reproduce images of the items offered for sale. Buyer is of course free to reproduce as they wish, but seller retains and may exercise the right to reproduce any images of the item for any purpose before or after the sale, without permission from or compensation to the buyer. 7) LISTING DISCREPANCIES: If the Title, Description, and/or Photo on a listing do not match, for gosh sakes don't buy it. Mistakes happen. Let me know instead so I can fix the listing. If you do buy, the item described in the Title of the listing takes precedence over anything else. If you disagree with that, it will be considered your request to cancel the transaction of the faulty listing.
