Poland Cover, Great Cancel The cancel looks like eyes. Smashing cover, Zipper. 10th Katowice Trade Fair. Seems strange to me, because on the 5th of that month they had the Poznan Fair as well. would need a Polish specialist to nut that one out. |

I normally stay away from sheets because of the storage headache, but this one isn't so big that it doesn't fit on an album page, and for better or worse, it is a striking piece. This is N73 in Scott, from 1941. It depicts a 16th-century view of Krakow, with Wawel Castle featuring prominently in the scene.  |

The 1996 Polish zodiac definitives are among my favourite stamp designs. The Scott and Michel catalogues both warn of soaking since the design can dissolve on some stamps on fluorescent paper. I check all of these stamps with a UV light before I soak them and set aside those that are on fluorescent paper. I still soak them anyway, but when I do I put them in the second sink and get them off paper as soon as they'll come loose. Some stamps dissolve the printed design even before the gum dissolves, some take a bit longer but are still damaged. However, the number of stamps which get damaged are quite limited - perhaps 1 in 75 or so are lost, at least among the stamps I have. Here's a look at a couple of damaged stamps - the middle one has lost so much of the design that you can hardly tell what it looked like before, so I've included another one (also on fluorescent paper) to show how it originally looked.

This stamp dates to the occupation of Poland by German forces during WW1. In order to facilitate reliable delivery, the Warsaw Citizen's Committee ("Komitet Obywatelski miasta stołecznego Warszawy" - KOMW on the stamp) set up a local post system and were allowed to issue stamps. This one was originally issued as a 5 Grosze, later overprinted to make it a 6 Grosze stamp. The was also a 10 Grosze, later overprinted to make it 2 Grosze. A very useful summary of the Warsaw local stamps can be found here. It's in Japanese, but Google Translate gives a good translation. I couldn't find a Scott number.  |

Locals are some of my favourites - they generally have interesting history. These will probably not be in Scott or SG They are in Fischer Poland Catalog PL TP Wxx series Michel Specialized PL-PAWxx series There are about 15 of this series with various overprints ![]()    You can find all you want on Poland in this great site

More great images. I've posted quite a few of these Warsaw locals on another forum. They have an interesting history.
There are a number of "clandestine" variations that were made for philatelists, but there is a (supposedly) legitimate variety in one position of the 2gr surcharge with rosettes; the right rosette has 6 petals rather than 8. Something to look for.

Some early Polish stamps, nothing great but I liked the resemblance to Germany's Row Counters (numbers in the top selvage of a sheet to facilitate counting partial sheets). Maybe they used the same security printers for their postage stamps!  |

I tried to write something more, but i must say my english is very rusted and every few words i ask myself: how do you say? Let's keep the words aside and begin with a picture (Maybe too big)... Don't look at the stamps, but the broken O of "ZOB" inscription on the right... The flaw on the pair is included in the Fischer Catalog...
BTW! Who collect Poland, which catalog does follow?
BTW2! Can i load images on your site?

I didn't check if there is a specific section for the General Gouvernment, but they can be considered "polish" stamps too (well, let's discuss)... Just three stamps are missing... not so much but... so much!  |

Even without a perforation gauge (or any other measurement system), it's very easy to detect the perforation size in this stamp. Just count the number of teeth of the base. 13 teeth for the normal perforation, 12 teeth for the rare... These stamps have been issued in 1950, but reprinted several times. 11 1/4:11 3/4 perforation is just a small issue in 1953 and just on the 25gr...

Czech is growing popularity in Italy (at least, that's my impression), while Poland no (sig!)... I use Fischer, the polish catalog, which is quite handy and with a lot of infomation. But i have a total of 4 polish catalog. The first is the old "Polskie Znaki Pocztowe" (PZP) edition 1969 (i may be wrong, but it's after the war). It is in reality a collection of previous works, a couple of books of Mikstein, the original Polskie znaki Pocztowe of Polanski and other. It cover with a great detail a lot of aspects of polish philately, especially related to the pre war period. The second is the Katalog Specjalizowany Znaczkow Pocztowych Polskich Ziemie (something like, i go to memory), the specialized catalog of the polish area postage stamps, edition 1990. I have, but i don't consult it so much. It is a specialized catalog, so the level of detail is high, but is also old and it seems to me it simply collects in a different shape the same information (with the same errors) that you can find in the PZP. The Fischer catalog (my edition is 2005, i also have newer, but i always use this one). It has a reasonable level of details, with color pictures of all the stamps and a detailed description (with photo of the particulars) of the major variety. Yet is not a specialized catalog. The last one is the "Podrecznik specjalizowany polskie znaczki pocztowy" (PSPZP). This is a great work, issued in 2009 (? something like), which keep all known variety of the stamps and all the specialization, of paper, perforation, etc. It also describes proofs, printing plates, etc. Very detailled, but unfortunatly just for stamps issued after the war... Online you can find a lot of resources. www.phila.pl/podstrony/ksiazka/spis.htmThat's the online version of the PSPZP. You can see the complete book. Not just an online version, like i.e. Michel, but all the pages scanned and put online by the same author of the catalog, not a pirate copy... www.stampspoland.nl/index.htmlThis is an online catalog, a huge work of Ben Nieborg, a reference which i very often consult. As soon as i will find an hosting place where to load images, i will try to make some photo... All the catalog that i've listed above are polish catalog, in polish language, but i also have the Michel and some extract of Yvert and Scott, which i never use... It's the first time i see SG. These catalog are not commonly used in Italy, well, at least if you don't collect the penny red or the Machins... Can you show me some page? I was going through 1950 in this time... And there are also italian catalogs which cover Poland (BTW Unificato)... Which i don't understand for which collectors they are. |

Looking back the work of Ben Nieborg, i was wondering why Nederland has so big connection with Poland... Many many foreign collectors of the polish area come for Nederland, but also, should you go to Poland, you will find very often cars coming from Nederland... in number just after the germans and the italians...
