1943 REGISTERED RICE PLANTER POSTAL CARD
1943 SEPTEMBER 25: MANILA CIRCULATING

2c Rice Planter postal card (#NUX3) with blocks of 4 of
2c and 5c Philippine Executive Commission Anniversary issue (#N10-11)
for 30c total rate, overpaid by 16c the required 14c registered psc rate. 

Okay, this card is over franked but I still consider it as very commercial. Possible that the sender was not aware of the correct required postage thus with the note "Am rushing this letter that is why I put plenty of clipper stamps...."

Except for philatelic notices the commercial use of the Rice Planter card is not easy. I personally have help prepare numerous Japanese Occupation exhibits and this card is sparingly represented in the collections. The other matter I would like to call your attention to is the difficulty of finding registered postal cards and this is true for all countries that issue them. In reality, there is no need to register them.
