United States Year of the Dragon cover

This is a cover from the United States done for the year of the dragon in 2000, but it isn't a first day cover. It was created for a special "Year of the Dragon Station" postmark dated February 12th, by an unknown cachet maker. (The first day of issue for the stamp was January 6th).

Macau Maxi Card

This is an interesting Maximum card. The postcard itself is from China and it features the design used on the Year of the Dragon stamp from that county in 1988. The stamp on the card however is the Macau issue of the same year.
