Hi! Does the postmark has to match as well ?

I did go through the wikipedia page about maxi card but I have a doubt, whether the cancellation needs to be similar or it is ok if stamp and card match together. Please let me know because I have a stamp and card being similar but will not be able to get he similar cancellation in post office...

Oh another question, does the stamp has to be on the image side of the pc? Just checking :)

Is this to be sent naked?

Thank you ladies, edited the swap. I think it's more clear now :)

Thanks for posting this! I was just thinking about posting a similar swap :)

I think to be a maxi card, you do put the stamp on the picture side. If you need more postage to send it, you can put it on the back (writing side).

Ok this sounds really interesting... do you make custom stamps or something?

MBrunt 09/23/2012 #

@cfroggie In most countries you can buy maxi cards at the post office or online. The stamps and postcard must be storebought. But in the Netherlands you can design you own personal stamps if you want. They are official postal payment so okay for this swap.

You can also pick a postage stamp and then try to find a postcard that matches. @digitalmaven I'm not sure if it's okay for every country to put the postage on the front of the postcard. so I keep it senders choice.
