AMERICAN ALLIGATOR MAXIMUM CARD #12, FIRST DAY OF ISSUE PICTORIAL POSTMARK, WASHINGTON, D.C.










- Condition: uncirculated freestyle/ non-traditional/ non-FIP Maximum Card; the postcard is an irregular-shaped commercial postcard that I bought from Myrtle Beach, SC.
The postmark was applied over a transparent mailing address label. This way, the ink did not smear onto the glossy postcard surface. 

- Year:  the beautiful First Day of Issue pictorial postmark is dated May 27, 2006.
- Catalog value: I created only ONE in this exact configuration!  Most probably, it is the ONLY ONE IN THE WORLD!

The reptile is the American alligator (Alligator mississippiensis). The stamp is part of the Wonders of America series.
