Let's compare several maximaphily creations - maximum cards with cheetah (Acinonyx jubatus).
Virtual maximum card/maxicard/maxi card/dorincard (I only superimposed the paper fragment onto the postcard, without glueing it yet) from South Africa. I like this because it shows the essence of cheetah - the fastest mammal.
Usain Bolt, from the sunny Jamaica, is already a legendary champion athlete, but he would be left in the dust - way, way behind...:)
By running 100m in 9.58s, Usain reached an average speed of 37.58kph.
By running 200m in 19.19s, Usain reached an average speed of 37.52kph.
The fastest cheetah on record was clocked in Kenya for 103kph over 201m.
On average, that cheetah officially ran 100m in 3.495 seconds. Ye, man!
The South Africa stamp shows a cheetah, kinda running, but only half-hearted, half-assed. Or maybe it's at the beginning or at the end of a run. The postmark, from Nasionale Krugerwildtuin (Kruger National Park), shows it at full speed!
Maximum card/maxicard/maxi card/dorincard from the ex-bantustan of Venda. I love that the postcard is matte, not glossy, so the matching pictorial postmark is perfectly visible, even embossed a little.
Maximum card/maxicard/maxi card/dorincard from the ex-bantustan of Bophutatswana (not Botswana! :) ). Again, matte postcard, clean postmark - very nice maximum card! The stamp also shows a lil' bit of the cheetah's natural habitat in Africa. The safari motorists are becoming part of the landscape...
