I will re-post the above maxicards/ maximum cards, with more details and comments. For now, I'll just display them as a sample of MCs from PR China, either officially produced by China Post or custom created by me with Chinese partners/friends.

maximaphily =收集极限明信片（明信片+印花税+邮戳）Maximaphily
Maximaphily是一个集邮分公司或集邮，这意味着收集极限明信片。一般来说，最大卡是一张明信片，以邮票和图片上的一面邮戳。理想情况下，所有这些三要素应该一致的，但不完全相同的。传统的方法是符合国际集邮联合会（国际集邮联合会）的规则。http://www.maximaphily.info非传统的方式，因为我把它称为，是按照人的规则！除非你想它，当然。我呼吁DORINCARD任何被加入对明信片图片一侧邮票和邮戳，个性化的明信片。传统的方法，或没有。 ：）

maximaphily = collecting maximum cards (postcard + stamp + postmark)

Maximaphily

Maximaphily is a branch of philately, or stamp collecting, that means collecting maximum cards.

Generally, a maximum card is a postcard, with a stamp and a postmark on the picture side. Ideally, all these 3 elements should be concordant, but not identical.

The traditional way is to comply with the rules of FIP (International Philatelic Federation).

http://www.maximaphily.info

The non-traditional way, as I call it, is to follow nobody's rules! Unless YOU want it, of course.

I call DORINCARD any postcard that was personalized by adding a stamp and a postmark, on the picture side of the postcard. Traditional way, or not. :)

====================================

Philately (stamp collecting), as a confluence of domains: learning, writing, web design, business administration, etc.

This stamp design was not printed/ordered yet. You could be the first owner of it, worldwide! :)

I don't have enough disposable income to actually buy ALL the stamp designs that I create at zazzle.com.
Some of my stamp designs are so rare that there is only 1 sheet of 20 stamps in the whole world (like the "no text" version of the above); or THERE IS NO sheet of 20 stamps in existence, yet, like this text version of my Su Lin stamp design.
What other company/country allows you to create and display, without ordering/buying, a personalized stamp design product?

Also, I have shifted the image so the Zoo tree, with its anti-climbing metallic trunk wrap is less visible.

This way, the image looks more wildlife than Zoo life.

Good bye, Tai Shan! The most beloved animal ever at the National Zoo, Washington, D.C. (USA)

I am reproducing here my listing from delcampe.com, because it's instructive about what can you still do, when FIP and everybody else tell you that there's nothing you can do, in the given context.

http://www.delcampe.com/page/item/id,0046447336,language,E.html

" CONDITION: uncirculated, collector-created, dorincard (= custom maximum card / maxicard) created with a cut-out postmarked stamp from a First Day Cover with the series of 4 different stamps featuring  Ying Ying and Le Le giant pandas.

- YEAR: I have obtained the FDOI First Day of Issue PICTORIAL POSTMARK on each (!) of the 4 stamps, from Hong Kong, China, July 1, 2008.
- CATALOG VALUE: Only 4 such SPECIAL FDCs (First Day Covers) were created for me by my friend in Hong Kong. I have already cut 1 FDC to create 4 custom maximum cards (see my other listings). Depending on the popular demand, I may choose to use the remaining 2 FDCs (because I already sold 1 of these 4 FDCs) to create custom maximum cards, with one postmarked stamp (cut-out from 3 FDCs) per postcard.
I prefer to create and collect maximum cards.
I have seen other, official FDCs having cachet, but a NON-PICTORIAL FDOI postmark.

For your information, I am showing images of all 4 stamps, and of other postcards that I could use ON DEMAND, WHILE SUPPLIES LAST, to create a custom maximum card according to your preferences.
Contact me for details.

My friend from Hong Kong told me, if I understood correctly, that when Hong Kong Post  applies a First Day of Issue date or pictorial postmark on a glossy maximum card presented by a collector, the ink WILL SMEAR / SMUDGE. Unless the collector rips with tape the UV protective layer of the glossy postcard.
Also, Hong Kong Post (HKP) usually applies only one (1) pictorial postmark (or a non-pictorial postmark) onto several stamps (a series of 4 here) affixed to an official FDC.
In other words, it´s impossible (again - if I understood correctly) to obtain from HKP a FIP-traditional maximum card, with a CLEAN PICTORIAL POSTMARK on your glossy, untreated  postcard.
That´s why I had to find a solution."

Maximum card: Red Panda / Lesser Panda (Ailurus fulgens) from Taiwan ROC

Republic of China (ROC) = Taiwan.

People's Republic of China = (mainland) China.

The top MC (maximum card) is official issue of Taiwan Post - very nice.

The other maximum card was created specially for me, at my specific request, by my good friend S. in Taiwan. Thank you! :)

She is one of the best philatelic partners/friends that I have on 6 continents (nobody yet at a research base in Antarctica - I'm working on it :) ).

Starting with the existing stamp, she found a great image online (even more matching than the official image), then she asked for permission to reproduce it.

I think those images were already released into public domain, but anyway.

Then she designed and ordered custom picture postcards.

Then she went to her post office and obtained clean local postmarks on such maximum cards. As a philatelic handback, she took them right back and sent me the whole batch in an envelope. One MC from each different design.

I love her custom MCs even more! Besides, there's only 1 MC made in each exact configuration - unless she liked them so much that she created more, for herself :D .
