Seeing as the Japanese postal website is for Japanese-use only, I bet some collectors here are very happy to see your post!

168Bagua,

PM me your address and I'll let you know what the total is with shipping. Also let me know if you would like tracking, etc., so I can add that cost.

Because you're in Hong Kong, I may check on the possibility of sending this via Japan Post instead of USPS as it would be significantly faster. I just have to navigate the language barrier.

thanks new12, I should look now at the issues and space them out so I don't take a BIG BITE out of my stamp budget.
