I draw a member who says they enjoy XXL postcards. What is this?
Did they say XXL postcard or a maxicard?

Probably just larger than normal.

They actually listed both as different categories.
OK, then I would also say an XXL postcard is a really big card.
Maxicards or cards maximum are special philatelistic objects, where on the picture side of the postcard a matching stamp is placed, also with special cancellation. Often these cards are issued by the national post (but you can create your own, you just need to have a card with picture matching the stamp).
Here’s an example from Australia:
Polish Post for example doesn’t issue such cards at all nowadays.

XXL just means larger postcard, while a maxicard has a matching stamp and cancellation on the front.

Those are beautiful!
I see, so the member just means a big card then. Thank you for the assistance of everyone 
I would have thought they mean a card printed by XXL (XXLposter or posterXXL).
They are good quality, that you can have your own photo printed.
Did they mention do they like/dislike this type of card (from own photo)?
