Antarctic Whales and Dolphins (Maximum Card)
The sender of this card wasn’t too impressed with it, but we disagree. We are calling it a Maximum Card though purists may disagree, because the stamp on the front is pre-printed and not affixed. However, as issued by Australia Post, the reverse also has pre-printed “Postage pre-paid Australia for posting in Australia and delivery worldwide”. Mailed in 2012. Postal creasing on lower right front, visible in the scan. Grade: 3

Code: 20601125
Price: $9.00
Sydney fireworks (Maximum Card)
What a card … the stamp on the front has a hologram (of course, with fireworks, and the year 1999) corresponding to this First Day of Issue postmark (1 November 1999). Then, on the back, Australia Post’s “Postage pre-paid Australia for posting in Australia and delivery worldwide”. Mailed in 2012–please note that. There’s no postmark apart from the original First Day mark on the front. The sender’s name and address are rubber-stamped on the reverse. Grade: 2

Code: 20601126
Price: $14.00
Perth Transport (Maximum Card)
Classic Maximum Card, nicely postmarked on the front. Australia Post’s “Postage Pre-paid” imprint on the reverse, along with another postmark indicating the 2012 date of mailing. A very nice card, especially for rail or metro postcard fans. Grade: 1

Code: 20601127
Price: $10.00

Ansett Australia Boeing 747-300 (VH-INJ)
This card was mailed from Australia in 2012 with Olympics stamp and postmark. The writer noted that Ansett Australia closed down in 2002, and was not certain why Sydney Airport was still selling this card in 2012. Good question! Further research in our favoured registration websites gives contradicting information. One said the aircraft was scrapped. Another said it went on to become 9V-SKD of Singapore Airlines. By the way, it was a Boeing 747-312. TMI! Grade: 1

Code: 20601132

The other of 2012 has the same stamp but it was not cancelled, and there’s a large Air Mail label (Grade: 4, $3). The 2013 card has stamp, postmark, and orange postal barcoding on both sides (Grade: 3, $2).

Code: 20601134
Price: $4.00
Megafauna (Maximum card)
The card was issued in 2008 (it’s on the postmark on the front) and mailed in 2012. There is a fair bit of postal battering, though it generally blends into the card. Were you wondering which dinosaur this is? Thylacine cyanocephalus. Grade: 2

Code: 20601135
Price: $5.00
Melbourne’s Trams

Code: 20601139
Price: $2.00
Australian Antarctic Mountains (Maximum Card)
Well, the good news is that this is an unusual card of an unusual place. Issued by Australia Post in 2013 with pre-printed worldwide postage on the reverse, properly cancelled, the “Maximum Card” element on the front was unfortunately targeted by Hongkong Post also. Australia’s special first day of issue postmark is still clear. Very hard to know what the right grade should be–not 1, not 5, so we’ll say Grade: 3

Code: 20601140
Price: $29.00
Melbourne tram (Maximum Card)
The “Maximum Card Gremlins” struck again on this card, with four postmarks on the front–three from Australia and one from Hong Kong. Like similar cards issued by Australia Post, this has pre-paid postage on the reverse, good for worldwide delivery; this was not cancelled, but there is orange postal barcoding on the back. We like to avoid this phrase, but “it is what it is.” Grade: 4

Code: 20601141
Price: $19.00
Port Arthur (Maximum Card)
Due to the card’s design, it’s easy to miss that this is a September 2012 Maximum Card, additionally with postage pre-paid in the normal stamp area. Orange postal barcoding on the reverse, and mailed in 2013. Grade: 2

Code: 20601143
Price: $8.00
