Don't bother with hashtags, this isn't Instagram.

Hashtags are for Twitter and other search results, too.
Anyway, I removed them.

"Other platforms such as YouTube and Gawker Media followed in officially supporting hashtags,[29] and real-time search aggregators such as Google Real-Time Search began supporting hashtags."

In answer to your question, I keep French maxicards etc if I acquire them in larger lots, but I don't actively seek them out. Like FDCs, I find they're a more interesting way of looking at used stamps.

I do like Maximum cards, collect and look for them if they're related to my country (Catalonia, SW Europe) and home-town (Barcelona). I've, even prepared some by myself. Always, looking for "the triple concordance" and:

1.- Use a commercial available postcard, printed before the stamp issue and not by the PO
2.- Cancel with a postmark, relaate to the stamp and postcard. The purists, perfere ordinary pms, but I also like special pms

As an example:

I made by myself this one, by using a commercial postcard and using the FD meter at Barcelona's GPO, as the stamp shows "MACBA" (Barcelona's Modern Art Museum.



Some, people, don't like using FD pm and prefere, instead, the town's ordinary postmark, like this one from Tossa de mar (Catalonia)




In both cases, we can see the triple concordance

I'll buy a maximum card if it's attractive and relevant to one of my interests, particularly a topic that I collect. Here are two of my favorites:

I do not collect maximum cards, but this one appeals to me on several levels.

I like maxicards for topics I'm interested in. I like both stamps and postcards, which are like having mini art/photo prints so it works out well. Recently, I've liked a lot of Australian maxicard themes.
