The Snow Leopard: Superb Maxicards (Stamp + Postcard + Postmark — More Or Less Concordant)
Stamp + Postcard + Postmark — more or less concordant, but interesting nonetheless
The point of my story here is to show you a few superb maxicards with Snow Leopard (Panthera uncia), and to invite you to create your own maxicards, with ANY subject, such as this beautiful felid, for example.
The maxicard above was issued in ONLY 300 copies by The Philatelic Bureau of KEP (Kyrgyz Express Post), the second postal operator in Kyrgyzstan.
I have promoted KEP and Kyrgyzstan “all over the Internet”, many times.
I am the founder and admin of 6 (different specialty) philatelic groups on Facebook. See for yourself. For example:

If I had more disposable income, I would buy ALL the maxicards they have ever issued, since they are so masterfully-designed!
The postcard image above is very representative of the subject.
The 2014 postage stamp, designed by Olga Derej (from Moldova, I guess) is a wonderful stamp, capturing the characteristics of the Snow Leopard, including its long, fluffy tail.
