Bravo, Spain! Fiesta con Iniesta...y los otros, sin embargo!...:)

This stamp (that can be ordered/bought, I hope) could be the first in the world celebrating this victory. I'll submit it now to zazzle for approval.

I wish I could show you here some maximum cards/maxicards/tarjetas maximas with the beautiful Barcelona, for example, but I just don't have!
Maybe some partners/friends will send me, someday. :)

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).

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.
