What I collect: My focus is on Wild Mammals on maximum cards. Occasionally, I get or create maximum cards with other animals, or any other topic.

Maxicard. "In philately a maximum card (also known as a maxi-card, or maxicard) is a postcard with a postage stamp placed on the picture side of the card where the stamp and card match or are in maximum concordance (similarity).[3][4] The cancellation or postmark is usually related to the image on the front of the card and the stamp." en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maximaphily#Maximum_cardThere are fine points in the discussion of "maximum concordance". Traditional maximaphily sometimes fails to clearly specify that it doesn't mean IDENTICAL IMAGE, which really is the maximum possible concordance, technically-speaking.
