Great maximum cards can be made especially with vintage postcards: read!

This is mine, not Richaard's. Let's say somebody likes it, but rejects it SIMPLY because it's a folded card, not a classic postcard. I could stiffen it with an adhesive backing paper. I could leave it as an irregular shaped postcard, mailable for and additional surcharge.

Or I could postcardize it into a rectangular item.

Veteran (age 80+) postcards dealer and collector Richaard is liquidating his collection. At this age, he is no longer interested in swaps, I guess, so he just wants to sell some and supplement his retirement income.
Email Richaard with "Hi! from Dorin" if you want to buy from his postcards collection.

"I have been dealing in post cards since 1969, and have approximately 300,000 postcards currently in stock. My cards are mostly pre-1920 going back to 1897. I do have later cards into the early 1940's.
If you are a serious collector, and interested in quality cards, please contact me at rgnpcs@optonline.net and send a wantlist of your interests.

My stock is especially strong in ships, Santas, & blacks.
I have a list of scans that are available with prices. Just send an email to me and ask for scan list.

Do you know what would make a wonderful gift for yourself, or anyone? A gift for a family member, relative, friend, in fact, most anyone. A gift that they would never forget, and most likely every time they looked at it would think of you, for being so thoughtful to pick the perfect gift.
That gift would be a post card picturing the hospital where they were born.
You can easily find out the information from the person involved, and surprise them for a special occasion, or just anytime.
I have about 6000 post cards picturing hospitals, and dating back to 1906 I also have deaf schools, sanatoriums, and old soldier's homes. Cards are $5.00 each postpaid. USA only.
Just drop an email to me at rgnpcs@optonline.net with the name of the hospital, and city where located. and I will give you the details. I will check and see if I have the card, or cards, and let you know, yes or no.
Oh yes, I also have about 4000 churches so I may have the church where you were baptized, married, or just attended."

I will create someday gorgeous maximum cards with wonderful panoramic postcards like these:

And now some lovely dogs.

Suomi/Finland...one of my most favorite countries!

About 5.4 million people, 2 million firearms, very few shooting sprees, top-of-the-world education system, many passionate collectors of postcards, stamps, etc.

"Finland has been ranked the second most stable country in the world, in a survey based on social, economic, political and military indicators.^[6]

Finland was a relative latecomer to industrialization, remaining a largely agrarian country until the 1950s. Thereafter, economic development was rapid, and the country reached the world's top income levels in the 1970s. Between 1970 and 1990, Finland built an extensive welfare state. In the aftermath of the country's severe depression in the early 1990s, successive governments have changed the Finnish economic system through some privatisation, deregulation and tax cuts.

Finland is well placed in international comparisons of national performance such as the share of high-technology manufacturing and health care.^[7] The country is ranked 1st in the 2009 Legatum Prosperity rating, which is based on economical performance and quality of life.^[8]"

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.
