Epylim said...: For MC's with First Day pictorial postmarks they were done on the first day of issue. We only have First day pictorial postmarks in M'sia and there is no just pictorial postmark. Other than that we would have to go for the normal circular postmark if we miss the First Day postmark.

The pearl necklace stamp you mentioned I think is Taiwan stamp, not Malaysia.; 4 December 2010 at 16:02

Fun and joy in maxicards

The creation of a maxicard involves the hunting of a postcard in concordance with the stamp and getting it postmarked at the place of concordance after the stamp has been affixed to the view side of the postcard.

The procedure looks simple, but quite often a beautiful maxicard is ruined by poor postmark(unclear or messy). Sad to say, there is no remedy to it and unlike in other fields of stamp collecting where "error" is well-liked, you are fearful of "error" here. Nevertheless, it's a rewarding hobby as every piece of maxicard you've realized reflects your pain and joy in creating it and you will sure to treasure it for life.

It's a journey to enjoy - from the "Miniature window" to the "Maxima world".
