Pyramid MC took a tour back to its homeland - GIZA

22.11.2013 I visited the Great Pyramid of Giza, Cairo. Since my days of collecting Maximum Card, I was particularly interested in the Maximum Cards of the Pyramid originally posted through the mail. I searched through the years for Pyramid MCs cancelled with the nearest PO postmark of "Pyramids", and managed to find a few t which are really scarce indeed. There were MCs with postmarks from Cairo, Giza and other places of Egypt. Pyramid MCs are amongst the oldest of the MCs. I thought it would be a good idea to take a Pyramid MC with me on my tour to the site of the Great Wonder of the world, giving the MC an opportunity to revisit its homeland. Cheers, I made it. Perhaps, I will  do the same in the future for the rest of my MCs, whether near or far, take them for a tour to their motherland. That's FUN, isn't it! You can do it too!

This is the Classic MC that most Maxiamphilists are chasing after

The Egypt Pyramid and Sphinx MC is an early maximum card that most  maximaphilists are looking for ... Due to its popularity, the price tag for a proper postmarked Pyramid MC can range from USD 300 to USD 4000 . The earliest known Pyramids and Sphinx MC is dated back to the year 1893 .. however, earlier dates  of the MC could still be discovered since the de-la-rue stamp was issued as early in the year 1888. Happy Hunting.
