Maximum Cards

MK_Background.jpg

Official Maximum Cards have been issued by Aland since 1986.  Between 1986 and 1996  each year 1 to 5 Maximum Cards were issued. Therefore usually one or two stamp issues per year have been the baseline for the Maximum Cards being issued. If  Maximum Cards relate to a stamp set then each stamp of the set was granted one Maximum Card. 

The Maximum Card's design was closely related to the theme of the stamp attached. The stamp is cancelled with the special first day postmark for the stamp issue. Maximum Cards are continued to be issued to this day.
