AMERICAN ALLIGATOR MAXIMUM CARD #13, FIRST DAY OF ISSUE PICTORIAL POSTMARK, NAPLES, FL






- Condition: uncirculated freestyle/ non-traditional/ non-FIP Maximum Card; the postcard is comprised of 2 large pages from a book, still separated.

- 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).
This close-up portrait image shows stunning details,  impossible to see on a regular postcard.
