Clouded leopard (Neofelis nebulosa) non-FIP maximum card

My rare, old , educational, non-FIP ('cause it's not exactly square size - it has rounded corners :roll: ) postcard was serviced with stamp and postmark by my friend Ye Choh San (Malaysia). Thank you! :)

Michael Jackson official maximum card #2 from St. Vincent

Apparently, this series of 8 official maximum cards is very rare, if you disregard the possible fakes out there.

Think about it: from the many stamps of a certain design, relatively very few find their way into a maximum card.

Rarity. Not mass-production.

I love this MC! I sent to Ye Choh San this postcard, along with others, and he took expert care of the stamp (WWF = World Wildlife Fund) and postmark. Thank you again! :)

From http://mbstamps.blogspot.com/:

"Ever since the tragic death of the Pop legend Michael Jackson, there has been a steady rise in sale of his albums, so has the Philatelic items connected to him, but there is a news that there are a lot of fakes which has been circulated even in popular auction sites, specially stamps and other items of St.Vincent. So Philatelists beware."

Michael Jackson - Official maximum card from Saint Vincent

I like very much this Michael Jackson official maximum card from Saint Vincent (postal autonomy of the state Saint Vincent and the Grenadines; the Grenadines of Saint Vincent have also postal autonomy).
This specific photo is one of Michael's best, in my opinion; it shows him in his prime, and it catches his likeness and spirit in a very representative way. This is the quintessential Michael.
A great, influential, controversial and tragic life story...

Although this is an Official maximum card, on an oversized postcard, by Saint Vincent Post, it is NOT a traditional FIP maximum card!!! (www.maximaphily.info) It's non-traditional.
FIP says that the stamp should NOT replicate identically the image of the postcard. I know...
But guess what? I STILL LIKE IT!!! :)
Do you?

It is an evolved aquatic monkey.
It is a Princess of Whales. With killer looks.
It is a beauty of a beast.
