This is my listing at delcampe for this item; all the other items are usually available for viewing by clicking the title of the posts on this blog.
"- Condition: uncirculated freestyle/ non-traditional/ non-FIP Maximum Card; the postcard is a large page from a book. To me, this kind of page is the ULTIMATE EDUCATIONAL POSTCARD, and it is much more visible this way, than if it were on a tiny, regular 4x6 inches postcard.
Besides, I have never seen such an educational image on a commercial, mass-produced postcard. Or any other postcard.
All you need to know about American alligator, complete with image comparison with the American crocodile, so you do not confuse them.
- Year: the beautiful First Day of Issue pictorial postmark is dated October 4, 2006.
- Catalog value: I created only ONE! Most probably, it is the ONLY ONE IN THE WORLD!
The reptile is the American alligator (Alligator mississippiensis). The stamp is part of the Southern Florida Wetland series. Most of that area is in the Everglades National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site (WHS).
BONUS: on the back, you have the educational page about a bird - the White-Fronted Bee-Eater (Merops bullockoides). Now you see why I did not cover the back? :) "
