October 2nd

Got a bunch of stamps in this envelope (see for stamps further below)

 

Notice the "Please Do Not Bend" part? Well the person working for USPS did not notice it and tried to make it fit.... Luckily no stamps were damaged. Also I was wondering how they can still use non Euro denominated stamps to mail these out?

Not the best margins unfortunately…  Hopefully in the future I will get a cleaner specimen

Added to collection July 2022

 This will just be a post with all the stamps that I added to my collections in July 2022

July 2

Lombardy and Venice 1850 Scott #3

For some reason Scott skips number 2... maybe things shifted around because there was a 60c blue stamp, however this one was never issued.  Either way.. just missing number 1 now from this set

Austria 1935 Scott B118/B121

This is listed in the Michel catalog as number 613/616, did I tell you how I hate that Scott separates the semi-postals? It is very annoying, especially when you have a set where 4 stamps are postage and 1 is semi postal (Olympic set from Germany comes to mind)

I always loved this set and Now I have added it to my collection

July 7

Japan Moonin stamps

I got these as a swap with someone from the UK, I thought they looked cute so I got them. Don't have too many Japanese stamps but I am working on changing that  :-)

Don't know the year or catalog numbers for these
