Congratulations! Canada - USA: 3 - 2 in hockey
"Glory to the winners, honor to the losers!" But the defeated are never losers in the derogatory sense; they deserve credit for putting up a great fight, with fair play. They all deserve our respect and gratitude for their great sports performance.

Eye-of-the-beholder maximum card: what do YOU see?
The painter is Salvador Dali.
I did not create this maximum card; somebody else created it "in violation of the laws" [OMG!] of traditional maximaphily, since it's an abstract subject and connection.
Well, I say that abstractions, (visual) metaphors and subtle mental encryptions should be encouraged in maximaphily, not prohibited.

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.

"Dorincard: Blogger Dorin C is a stamp and postcard fanatic, and luckily he's more than pleased to write prolifically and charmingly about his obsession. 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.

- Maximum Delight
- Feb 21, 2011
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.
