When David Maiden was appointed Manager of Australia Post Philatelic Group in 1992 he introduced the above card.
Ever since, Australia Post Philatelic Group have produced this giveaway using the annual Christmas set.

I normally keep this sort of philatelic paraphernalia because it is official and, in this case, very colourful.
I now find that my collection has quite a few gaps for which I blame my friend in Vancouver Canada as he is a Christmas topical collector. :evil:

Could you help me fill the gaps which are:

1995, 2005, 2006, 2007, 2008, 2010 & 2011 (the 20th card in the Series).
I do require the Insert that accompanied the Card, please.

Australia Post closed the National Philatelic Centre Melbourne last year, so the Series may have ended.

In a message dated 16 March 12, Richard Breckon of Australia Post Philatelic, wrote and from which I quote:

As you may be aware, the cards were produced for complimentary distribution to Standing Order clients at the Philatelic Bureau, Melbourne.
The 2009 card you hold is the last of its kind. In December 2009, the Australia Post National Headquarters moved from
321 Exhibition Street to 111 Bourke Street and, as a result, the 321 Exhibition Street Post Office (incorporating the National Philatelic Centre) was closed.


So my revised want list is:

2005, 2006, 2007 & 2008
I do require the Insert that accompanied the Card, please.

What follows is a complete listing and display of the eighteen Christmas Souvenir Cards with accompanying Inserts
produced by the National Philatelic Centre Melbourne starting in 1992 and finishing in 2009 with the closing of the Centre.
All cards have a First Day of Issue pictorial machine postmark of the Centre.
Size of card & Insert: 110mm x 145mm.
This topic readily lends itself to anyone wishing to put together a single frame competitive exhibit!
Thanks to StampBoards Members for helping me complete this very colourful collection. :)

In 2010, Australia Post did mail a Christmas card out to standing order customers.

Not identical to above format but still interesting. :)

Pictures follow.

Card contains message from Michael Zsolt, the Manager of Philatelic and set of 2 x MUH Stamps, the 55c Domestic and $1.30 International Post issues of 2010.

I wonder if such a card was produced in 2011? :)

Hello,
Thanks for the detailed information on those Christmas Cards. The pictures are fabulous.

Though I have almost the complete set, most are without inserts and, like you, I'd prefer the inserts with the card also.

If you are able to help me further my collection, that would be wonderful.

I need:
1998 2000 2001 2002 2003 2004 2005 2006 2007 2008


Again, thanks for the information, now I know something about the origins of these Christmas Cards.

It would appear at one stage there were also Christmas gifts. It is a Frame of sorts, with a wood backing and perspex front.

This item came in a maroon folder and the insert is similar to others shown above.
