Maximumkarte Katholische Kathedrale in Freiburg im Breisgau
Stamp: Baden (French Occupation Zone) – Freiburg Minster (Freiburger Münster) – 1 Deutsche Mark, dark brown – Issue date: August 1947.

Postcard: Monochrome printed postcard depicting an elevated view of the Freiburg Minster and the surrounding rooftops of the Altstadt (Old Town), with the Black Forest hills in the background. (Edition Verlag Erwin Burda)
Concordance
Thematic: Full thematic concordance. The stamp depicts the Freiburger Münster (Freiburg Minster), and the postcard features a panoramic view of the same monument. Both elements focus exclusively on the same Gothic architectural landmark in the city of Freiburg im Breisgau, creating perfect visual and thematic harmony.
Geographic: Perfect geographic concordance. The stamp was issued specifically for the Baden region (French Occupation Zone), the postmark was applied in Freiburg (the city where the cathedral is located), and the postcard illustrates the cathedral itself and the Freiburg cityscape. There is total geographic alignment between the issuer, the place of cancellation, and the subject.
Temporal: Strong temporal concordance. The postmark is dated June 5, 1948. This period is highly significant as it predates the West German monetary reform of June 20, 1948, by only a few days. Using the 1 Mark stamp during its original validity, with a cancellation from the subject city during the occupation period, establishes an authentic and historically valuable temporal concordance.

Concordance:

Geographic: The postmark from Worms perfectly matches the subject of the postcard and the origin of the stamp, reinforcing geographic concordance.

Geographic: Coherent. The postmark was applied in Rio de Janeiro, the then-capital and administrative center of the Brazilian Post, validating the national issue.
Temporal: Exact. The cancellation date strictly coincides with the first day of the stamp's circulation (11/24/1958), fulfilling the requirement for maximum simultaneity.

Postal máximo Jubileu Sacre Coeur Brasil
Stamp: Brazil, 1961. Commemorative issue for the "50th Anniversary of the Sacré-Coeur de Marie Colleges in Brazil."

Postcard: Illustrated postcard reproducing the religious iconography of the Immaculate Heart of Mary. The image shows a medium shot of the Virgin Mary in traditional attire (red tunic and blue mantle), pointing towards her radiant heart. (Edition unknown)
Concordance (Maximum Card Trilogy)
Thematic: Perfect. The stamp, the postmark, and the postcard illustration strictly converge on the same theme: the Sacred Heart of Mary congregation and its devotional symbolism.
Geographic: Coherent. The postmark was applied in Rio de Janeiro, one of the primary centers for the order's colleges in Brazil.

Postcard: Photographic postcard showing a full-length, front-facing view of the Christ the Redeemer statue on Corcovado Mountain, including the access stairways and visitors at the base. (Edition by Foto Colombo).
Concordance
Thematic: Partial/Weak. While the stamp and the postcard show perfect thematic concordance (both illustrating the Christ the Redeemer Monument), the postmark diverges entirely from the religious or monumental theme, being dedicated exclusively to a Rotary Club administrative event.
Geographic: Exact. The illustrated monument (postcard and stamp) is located in Rio de Janeiro, the same location where the postmark was applied, fulfilling the locality requirement.
Temporal: Coherent. The postmark was applied in March 1960, a period when the 1959 stamp was still in full postal validity, although it does not constitute a first-day cancellation or a commemorative date linked to the monument.

Concordance

Geographic: Coherent. The postmark was applied in Rio de Janeiro, then the federal capital and center for the Marian Year celebrations in Brazil.
Temporal: Exact. The use of a First Day Cancellation (09/08/1954) enhances the piece, fulfilling the highest standard of temporal concordance in Maximaphily.
Postal Máximo Madre Joana Angélica de Jesus
Stamp: Brazil – Correios – Commemorative stamp issued for the Homenagem à Madre Joana Angélica de Jesus, honoring her historical role as one of the earliest Brazilian martyrs associated with the Independence movement. The design presents the stylized figure of Madre Joana Angélica wearing her religious habit, rendered in blue tones against a light background. Issued on 3 May 1967, the stamp forms part of a postal tribute to significant national figures from Brazil’s colonial and independence-era history.
Postmark: Guanabara – Primeiro Dia de Circulação – Circular first‑day cancellation dated 3 MAI 67, inscribed with “CORREIOS – GB,” marking the official debut of the stamp issue. The cancellation confirms its postal use on the exact day of release and is characteristic of Brazilian first‑day commemorative obliterations of the 1960s.
A second cancellation, also dated 3 de Maio de 1967, features an illustrated homage to Madre Joana Angélica, with decorative stars and a depiction of the religious figure, reinforcing the thematic and ceremonial purpose of the issue.
Postcard: Cream‑toned first‑day postcard reproducing an engraved representation of Madre Joana Angélica de Jesus, shown in her religious habit and framed within an oval border. The illustration is executed in a blue line‑drawing style typical of mid‑20th‑century commemorative Brazilian philatelic artwork. The lower inscription identifies her as the “Primeira Heroína da Independência do Brasil,” highlighting her historical relevance. The postcard was produced as part of a coordinated philatelic tribute, with edition unkown.
Concordance
Thematic: There is complete thematic concordance among all components. The stamp, both postmarks, and the postcard illustration are dedicated to the same historical figure—Madre Joana Angélica de Jesus - celebrating her symbolic role in Brazil’s struggle for independence. The unified religious and patriotic iconography establishes a cohesive thematic identity throughout the piece.
Geographic: Geographic coherence is fully preserved. The stamp is of Brazilian origin, and both cancellations were applied in Guanabara, the issuing authority for first‑day material at the time. Although the postcard’s printing reference indicates a French atelier, its subject, purpose, and postal use are entirely Brazilian, ensuring geographic unity in meaning and circulation.
Temporal: Temporal concordance is exact. The cancellations dated 3 May 1967 coincide perfectly with the official issue date of the commemorative stamp, confirming first‑day use. The postcard design corresponds to the same commemorative release, and all elements align within the same historical and postal timeframe.

Tarjeta Máxima Juan Ruiz de Alarcón y Mendoza
Stamp: Spain – Correos – Definitive stamp from the “Portraits (1950-1953)” series (20 cts), printed in violet‑blue tones and featuring the engraved profile of Juan Ruiz de Alarcón y Mendoza. Issued 01.09.1950
Postmark: Madrid – Servicio Filatélico de Correos – Circular cancellation dated 26 JUL 54, bearing the official emblem of the philatelic service: a stylized postal horn surmounted by a crown. The marking confirms processing through the central philatelic office in the Spanish capital, a frequent origin point for specially prepared philatelic items.
Postcard: Cream‑tone postcard illustrating a finely executed engraved portrait of Juan Ruiz de Alarcón y Mendoza dressed in period attire, with attention drawn to the elaborate ruffled collar and the Renaissance‑style shading. The portrait is rendered in dark sepia/black ink, occupying the upper half of the card, and designed in a traditional Spanish academic style of the 19th–20th century. (Edition Laboratoires La Biomarine, Dieppe)
Concordance
Thematic: There is perfect thematic concordance between the elements of the piece. The stamp, belonging to Spain’s “Portraits (1950–1953)” definitive series, depicts Juan Ruiz de Alarcón y Mendoza, a prominent writer and playwright of the Spanish Golden Age. The postcard also presents an engraved portrait of Juan Ruiz de Alarcón, rendered in a classic academic style. Both images focus on the same historical figure, reinforcing a unified thematic representation centred on Spanish literature, the Baroque period, and the cultural legacy of one of Spain’s major dramatists. This creates a coherent and intentional philatelic composition.
Geographic: Geographic coherence is entirely consistent. Both the stamp and the subject portrayed on the postcard originate from Spain, and the postmark is from Madrid, applied by the Servicio Filatélico de Correos. Even though the postcard edition (“Laboratoires La Biomarine, Dieppe”) comes from France, the artistic subject is unmistakably Spanish, and therefore the geographic axis of the piece remains Spanish. The philatelic operation through Madrid further anchors the item to Spain, ensuring geographic unity in its postal and cultural context.
Temporal: Temporal concordance is complete and correct. The stamp was issued on 1 September 1950, and the cancellation is dated 26 July 1954, a time frame in which the stamp was fully valid for postal use. This ensures chronological compatibility between the philatelic emission date and the postal cancellation. The portrait style of the postcard, although produced mid‑20th century, aligns historically with the subject (17th century) and fits comfortably within the typical timeframe for special philatelic and portrait postcards of the 1950s. Thus, all components - stamp, cancellation, and postcard—coexist within a coherent and historically compatible period.
Maxicard Santo Cristo LePanto
Stamp: Spain – Correios – Commemorative stamp for the "1st International Philately Congress (CIF-60)" in Barcelona, depicting the "Santo Cristo de Lepanto." The design features the image of the crucified Christ in red/pink tones against a greenish background. Issued in March 3, 1960, this stamp is part of a series celebrating the philatelic congress and highlighting Barcelona's religious and historical heritage.
Postmark: Barcelona – 1er Congreso Internacional de Filatelia – Circular cancellation dated March 3, 1960 (-3 MAR 60), featuring the "CIF" logo and stylized olive branches. The marking is specific to the event held in the Catalan capital, confirming its postal use during the congress period.
Postcard: Sepia-toned postcard reproducing the "Historic and Miraculous Image of the Santo Cristo de Lepanto," venerated in the Cathedral Basilica of Barcelona. The central composition focuses on the Gothic sculpture of the crucified Christ, accompanied on the side by an illustration of the galley "La Real" of John of Austria, linking the image to the historic Battle of Lepanto.
Concordance
Thematic: There is perfect thematic harmony between the stamp and the postcard, as both depict the same iconic figure: the Santo Cristo de Lepanto venerated in Barcelona. The inclusion of the galley on the postcard reinforces the historical context that gives the image its name, while the stamp uses it as a symbol for the local philatelic congress.
Geographic: The spatial coherence is absolute, uniting the origin of the image (Barcelona Cathedral), the location of the congress (Barcelona), and the origin of the cancellation postmark, all situated within the same Spanish city.
Temporal: The cancellation dated March 3, 1960, is fully compatible with the stamp's issue date (March 1960) and the period of postal validity for this specific event, establishing an exact chronological relationship between all elements.
