A superb blog about worldwide bridges on maximum cards!

Visit this world-class maximaphily blog of my philatelic partner/friend/client Chih-ping Chu (Taiwan/ROC):
http://bridge-maximumcard.blogspot.com/

I absolutely love to visit again and again his blog, to see old and new MCs with bridges from around the world.

Wolverine (Gulo gulo) maximum card (USA)


I have created this while I attended The World Philatelic Exhibition in Washington, D.C. 2006.
Because the postcard was quite glossy, I experimented with a transparent label. The resulting postmark is pretty visible, right? :)

Wolverine - a formidable animal!

Happy PFF! :)

Not a true ox: Muskox (Ovibos moschatus) maximum card (USA) and philatelic souvenir folded page















I like the maximum card, and I also like the philatelic souvenir folded page.
That page is very educational - all the interesting facts about the subject.
Much more than a simple postcard...:)

It is the mammal species with the longest hairs in the world.
"As members of the subfamily Caprinae of the family Bovidae, muskoxen are more closely related to sheep and goats than to oxen, but are in their own genus, Ovibos. Both sexes have long curved horns."
