Only 1 in the world, UNICATE/UNIKAT dorincard: a non-compliant maximum card that USPS has inadvertently created for me, against my will, by over-postmarking a postcard. White-tailed Deer custom maxicard, with no cachet and 2 sets of postmarks. Or, with a pictorial postmark that can be THE CACHET (illustration)

Is this a philatelic EFO ("errors, freaks and oddities")?

No freak, but it sure is an error and an oddity...:)

This was a rectangular piece of Avery transparent mailing address label (still on its waxy backing paper) that I cut to obtain a custom postcard.

Then I affixed the stamp and I mailed it to a post office in Florida, to get that deer pictorial postmark.

I provided a SASE envelope, but the postal associate decided to just drop it in the mailstream, "naked."

What the mailstream did was to apply an inkjet, spray-on cancellation by the Automated Postal System, which you can see: "SOUTH FLORIDA...HAPPY HOLIDAYS".

Over-postmarking by the post office is redundant and even not recommended, last time I checked the Domestic Mail Manual and the Postal Operations Manual.

Anyway, now I could trim it and affix the remaining label with the double-postmarked stamp onto a picture postcard, to create a maximum card.

 Or, I could keep the item as is - unique in the world (only 1 specimen, I guess).

In this case, I could even regard this deer pictorial postmark 

(more than 2x4 inches, which is huge size for a postmark) 

as a drawing / illustration / cachet / image of the postcard.

Have you ever seen a maximum card where the illustration / image is actually a (second) pictorial postmark?

:)

Besides the 3 heart-shaped head contours for Mom, Dad and Kid Deer, notice a heart shape between Mom and Dad...ain't that cute and cool?

Say Awww...:)

Bonus: heart in my own address label! :)

I could say: "I knowww...", like Craig Ferguson.

Edward Maya - This Is My Life OFFICIAL HD VIDEO. Edward is going to India today. Also, I show you a few postcards and maximum cards from India

Edward Maya said today on his Facebook Page: On the way to India - "This Is My Life " ;) .
Watch the video and see him and Vika Jigulina! :)

Newsflash, postcard publisher! This "ain't no stinking hunting cheetah!"

In fact, it's a stinking leopard (Panthera pardus).

I say "stinking" for entertainment purposes only.

In fact, most animals do smell - some on purpose. :)

Louis Braille.

"Louis Braille (English pronunciation: /ˈbreɪl/; French: [lwi bʁɑj]) (January 4, 1809 – January 6, 1852) was the inventor of braille,^[1] a system of reading and writing used by people who are blind and visually impaired. One reads braille by passing one's fingers over characters, each of which is an arrangement of one to six embossed points. The system has been adapted for languages worldwide."

By all means (necessary), please read:
List of commonly misused English words - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Let's illustrate an example, with a maximum card.

"discreet and discrete. 

Discreet means "circumspect". 
Discrete means "having separate parts", as opposed to contiguous.'

The Jupiter AM-13 Rocket was DISCRETE, but Gordo "The Space Monkey" was DISCREET.

The poor "squirrel monkey" had no freakin' idea that SPACE TRAVEL is next.

So it was probably circumspect, in his own way...

"Gordo was one of the first monkeys to travel into space. 

As part of the NASA space program, Gordo, also known as "Old Reliable", was launched from Cape Canaveral on December 13, 1958 in the U.S. Jupiter AM-13 rocket. 

The rocket would travel over 1500 miles and reach a height of 310 miles (500 km) before returning to Earth and landing in the South Atlantic. 

A technical malfunction prevented the capsule's parachute from opening and, despite a short search, neither his body nor the vessel were ever recovered.^[1]"

Beautifully-designed maxicard from Romania.

See that blue planet in the vastness of space?

That's ours!

Until we screw-up...
