One of the world's most endangered feline species: The Iberian Lynx (Lynx pardinus). Maximum cards from UK, Portugal and a Bulgarian EFO ("errors, freaks and oddities")


"The Iberian lynxLynx pardinus, is a critically endangered species native to the Iberian Peninsula in Southern Europe. It is one of the most endangered cat species in the world.[2]According to the conservation group SOS Lynx, if this species died out, it would be one of the few feline extinctions since the Smilodon 10,000 years ago.[3] The species used to be classified as a subspecies of the Eurasian Lynx (Lynx lynx), but is now considered a separate species. Both species occurred together in central Europe in the Pleistocene epoch, being separated by habitat choice.[4] The Iberian lynx is believed to have evolved from Lynx issiodorensis."



Why is this Bulgarian maxicard in error?
Tell me, baby!

Hi Dorin. Did you make all of these? Beautiful wildlife - they make for a great maxicard. Looking at your creations, I realised that the stamps and the postcards do not necessarily be alike when you make maxicards. I just made one, as per your suggestion. Come, do have a look ;)

Hi, Sreisaat!

I created the top one (I always try to have TOP creations...).
WWF created the set of 4.
Bulgaria Post, I guess, created the bottom one.
Thank you for starting maximaphily creation, at my suggestion.
Have fun!
Ask me anytime for support! :)

To whom it may concern, about creating a maximum card at the post office, with a stamp and a postcard.

"Sreisaat, thank you for starting maximaphily creation, at my suggestion.

At your post office:
1 - try to get a courtesy postmark on that stamp, without mailing it.
2 - if refused, then affix, if necessary, additional stamp(s) on the address side, then ask the clerk to carefully postmark (or they let YOU do it) all stamps, on both sides. Then mail it to you, or to me, or so.
3 - if still refused, get the postmark on that stamp, then enclose the card in a transparent cover/bag, with a mailing address sticker. This way, the stamp and the written address are "on the same side" (even if on different layers).
4 - if still refused, then add that address sticker directly on the front side of postcard - we can remove it later, somehow.
5 - want more? If still refused, get a stamp on a transparent or white label of postcard size, get a postmark, and finally you could cut the postmarked stamp with a little margin and affix it at home, on the real postcard.

Oh!! I wish I can have one of this. I so love big cats!!

Thank you for all the tips - I'm definitely going to try the alternatives to get that hallowed postmark! I'll send one to you after I had the postmarks affixed to it. By the way, the 3rd anniversary of the inscription of Preah Vihear as UNESCO WHS will be next month so I hope I get the postmark by then. I'm making another one for myself - luckily I have a strip of about a dozen Preah Vihear stamps and two postcards :)

How fun! I love these--funny thing, we have just adopted a kitten who sports some of these markings. lol

Happy PFF!

Well, I was sort of hoping someone could come up with the answer to your errors, freaks and oddities question so that I could say, "Of course I knew that". But I can't.

My husband used to have an African Lynx pet. I couldn't think of something why I would want a wild animal to be my pet. He got it when she was a baby. He said that the African Lynx are very nice and tame. He feeds her chicken meat. Her name is Sheba.

That's a nice postcard you got. My PFF Entry is up. Come visit me some time. Thanks!

Answer: the Bulgarian stamp says Lynx lynx = Red Lynx = Eurasian Lynx.

He has a particular bent for stamps with wild mammals on them, but his blog demonstrates an affinity for stamps of all forms and backgrounds, as long as they offer a special narrative that's worth sharing with his readers.

    Postcards and stamps, mainly featuring mammals and birds but Dorincard also has other creations
    and interests he likes to share.
    His enthusiasm for Maximum cards (a postcard and a similar themed stamps sent through the
    postal system) shines through.
    He shows how he gets the right card, stamp and postmark together.
    Visiting his site you will also learn things about the natural world told with a dry sense of humour,
    possibly with a play on words, and a unique style of headings.
    Topical and informative both for the enthusiast and casual visitor.
