This is a great maximum card, in my opinion, because the postcard shows actor and cult figure James Dean in a characteristic pose/posture.
James Dean is NOT turning his back on books and reading.
I am not accusing him of being a bookworm, either.
He's just leaning on them....relying on them for support...at least head support.
In fact, aren't some (many?) of us using books for mind support...soul support...not just skull support?
It also shows a facsimile of his autograph/signature.
Facsimile (the likeness of the signature) is the next best thing to the real deal, to an original autograph.
I have bought from North Carolina this postcard, printed in UK.
In my home state, Virginia, I have affixed the stamp to a light-background area of the postcard.
Then I have mailed it, along with other items, to the Hollywood, California 90028 Post Office and I have asked for a postmark, on each of them.
From now on, I hope that this James Dean maxicard will be viewed by people from 6 continents - it's improbable that some researcher in Antarctica will stumble upon it...:)
