Jakarta 95 Day (set of two) (Indonesia)
Two unused Maximum Cards in this set (and we have two sets). One card shows Jakarta’s History Museum at Fatahilah Square, and the other the drawbridge at Kota Intan, also in Jakarta. Grades: 1

Code: 39600226
Price: $11.00
World Philatelic Youth Exhibition 1996 (set of two) (Indonesia)
As Maximum Cards, these are nice enough: unused, clean, with just a touch of postmark smudging from the source. One card shows Pos Indonesia’s HQ building, and the other shows Satay House in Bandung. We will just make the minor comment (no pun intended) that these are a little boring for a “World Philatelic Youth Exhibition.” Two sets are available. Grades: 1

Code: 39600227
Price: $10.00
Pilatus cogwheel railway 125 years (Switzerland)
Unused, official card from 2014. Grade: 1

Code: 39600228
Price: $6.00
Curlew (Finland)
What a shame Posti (Finland) didn’t go ahead and issue this as a maximum card, but it’s not, and we must empasize this is not a maximum card, just in the style. Mailed in 2014 with another very large stamp, Priority label, and postmark on the back. Grade: 1

Code: 39600229
Price: $3.00
Show horse (Belarus)
The card was issued in 2011, and mailed in 2013 with “M” stamp and full Minsk postmark. Grade: 1

Code: 39600230
Price: $6.00
Snowboarder at Thredbo (Australia)
Mailed in 2014, this card was originally issued in July 2011. The mailing postmark went on the front, not the reverse; and the orange postal barcoding went on both sides. Grade: 3

Code: 39600231
Price: $5.00
Dove of Peace (Belarus)
Very nice as a design, and mailed in 2014 in good condition with an extra stamp and postmark on the back, though we are confused about the origin. Clearly the Maximum Card postmark on the front is official, though there’s an English caption on the back that says “Private souvenir edition. Only 48 copies.” Whatever it is, here it is. Grade: 1

Code: 39600232
Price: $4.00
Rosebud, VIC (Australia)
Maximum card issued in the town of Rosebud on 4 February 2014 (though one might wonder why they didn’t wait ten more days), then mailed in March with a very large stamp on the back that went unpostmarked. Blue airmail label affixed. Grade: 4

Code: 39600233
Price: $4.00
Concorde, British Airways, final flight
Mailed in 2014, with another stamp, and postmark, and Air Mail label, and orange postal barcoding, this card has a long and technical caption in the address area. We are calling this “Maximum Card Style” because clearly the stamp does not match the card, so please take careful note of that. But as a postcard of Concorde, it’s very nice. Grade: 1

Code: 39600234
Price: $9.00
Farm scene (Taiwan)
Mailed in 2013, and apart from the Maximum stamp on the front, there are two more of the same stamp on the back, with postmark. All captioning and the entire message are in Chinese only. Grade: 2

Code: 39600235
Price: $4.00
Birds (set of three) (DPR Korea)
Set of three Maximum Cards from 1996, each captioned in Korean and with the scientific name of the respective bird: Ficedula zanthopygia, Eurystomus orientalis, Cuculus canorus. Pyongyang attribution on the back. Grades: 1

Code: 39600236

Set of three unused July 1997 Maximum Cards. Grades: 1

Code: 39600237
Price: $18.00
Taekwon-Do (DPR Korea)
Captioned in Korean and also in western lettering (can’t really call it “English” as it’s just the name of the martial art), this Maximum Card was issued in 1992 and has Pyongyang attribution. Grade: 1

Code: 39600238
Price: $8.00
Arctic and Antarctic Animals (set of four) (DPR Korea)
A set of four unused Maximum cards from 1996, and like many others from DPRK they are captioned in Korean and with scientific names: Hydrurga leptonyx, Apt enodytes forsteri, Alopex lagopus, and Thalarctos maritimus. (That is as they are, we’ve not verified them.) Please note that on these as well as some other sets, there may be some postmark ink transfer on the reverses when cards were stacked at source. We do not consider this to be a defect. Reference numbers 7-605105. Grades: 1

Code: 39600239
Price: $20.00
UNICEF (set of 4) (DPR Korea)
From 1996 — a busy year in the annals of DPRK philately — this set of four Maximum Cards, with Pyongyang attribution in western lettering on the reverses. Grade: 1

Code: 39600240
Price: $20.00
Gerbera hybrida (DPR Korea)
Basically, a daisy. Wikipedia says, in substance: Gerbera is widely used as a decorative garden plant or as cut flowers. The domesticated cultivars are mostly a result of a cross between Gerbera jamesonii and another South African species Gerbera viridifolia. The cross is known as Gerbera hybrida. The caption is only in Korean, and translates as “fire mums”. Pyongyang attribution. Grade: 1

Code: 39600241
Price: $5.00
Pterophyllum eimekei (DPR Korea)
The scientific name for one of the angelfish; the unused card from 1991, with caption in Korean and “scientific”. Reference number 105296, and with Pyongyang attribution. Grade: 1

Code: 39600242
Price: $8.00
Mt. Paektu (set of four) (DPR Korea)
Issued in 1992 but looking newer, this is a set of four unused Maximum Cards, captioned in English and Korean and with the usual Pyongyang attribution. The four scenes include: Lake Chon on Mt. Paektu; Lake Samji; The native home in the secret camp in Mt. Paektu; and Mt. Paektu, the sacred mountain of the revolution. Grades: 1

Code: 39600243
Price: $20.00
Frogs (set of six) (DPR Korea)
Someone out there collects postcards of frogs and toads. We hope it’s you. Here’s an unused set of six Maximum Cards (four are in the scan) from 1992. Apart from Pyongyang attribution, the captions are only in Korean, but on the stamps, in tiny print, the scientific names appear. Series reference number 203106. Ribbit! Grades: 1

Code: 39600244
Price: $24.00
Fossils (set of 3) (DPR Korea)
A set of three maximum cards from 2013, captioned with Korean and scientific names: Hormotoma, Ditomopharangia, and Dumangia. Grade: 1

Code: 39600245
Price: $15.00
Pheasants (set of six) (DPR Korea)
An older (1976) set of six unused Maximum Cards, Pyongyang attribution, and each card captioned in Korean and English. As information, because our scan only shows four of the six cards, the common names of all six are: White pheasant, Reeves’ pheasant, Silver pheasant, Lady Amherst pheasant, Golden pheasant, and Copper pheasant. In great condition, a pheasant way to spend a day. Grades: 1

Code: 39600246
Price: $24.00
Cats (set of five) (DPR Korea)
Four of five cards from this unused 1991 set of Maximum Cards appear in the scan. They all have Pyongyang attribution on the back, and the captions in Korean and English are identical: 고양이 (cat). It’s the stamps that go further: usually cat and something else, such as rat, or ball, or frog. Odd. Nice. Grades: 1

Code: 39600247
Price: $22.50
Birds of Prey (set of five) (DPR Korea)
DPRK sets can be confusing, and it takes a bit of sleuthing to figure out which cards go together. We think we have this one right, based on stamp and font design. Issued in 1992, five unused cards, each with Korean and scientific name of the respective bird, and Pyongyang attribution. Grades: 1

Code: 39600248
Price: $22.50
DDR Trolley (East Germany)
A Maximum Card from the end of the DDR era, issued in November 1986. Mailed much later, though, in 2014, with four more stamps, partial postmark, and postal abrasions on the back. Those just add character. Grade: 3

Code: 39600249
Price: $7.00
Eagles (group of two) (DPR Korea)
Here’s a chance to have a couple of DPRK Maximum Cards at a value price. Unused, from 1992, captioned in Korean and “scientific” (Haliaeetus vocifer and Buteo buteo). The Haliaeetus card (i.e., the one without the baby chicks) has significant spotting on the front. Grade: 3
