Place of Concordance


Malaysia maxicard - Garden flowers, lotus ( 01.07.2010)

As concordance of place is one of the three requirements in maximaphily, it's also part of the routine for every new issue, to determine where are the suitable places to postmark the maxicards. My simple criteria is to look for a connection between the subject of the stamp and the place for cancellation. Sometimes there might be a few choices available and to have your maxicards cancelled at the most suitable place would definitely bring you greater satisfaction.


" The pictorial design of the cancellation and/or text, as well as the place of cancellation(name of the post office) should have a connection with the postage stamp and of the postcard, or with the purpose of issue(event, charitable activity, theme of the series." FIP
