Just imagine that First Day Cover shoved in your mail box!!!! That said that's a BEAUTIFUL stamp! I don't collect world wide but methinks I gotta find one of these if they are still obtainable that is?

Most stamps in the world are obtainable Jeff, this one is no different,
I doubt if it has graced many covers / parcels.
Be adroit when searching, esp the bloated prices on Ebay, CV =$18 , I paid $1

Rod, what is the measurement of the large stamp? Cost a buck? I'll give you $2 !! A buck, !? so what is a male deer worth these days? so I can consider.  After all, it's just a piece of (self stick) paper. In 1988, Phillips in London, the auctioneer, sold "The 2nd May Cover" GB, for 71,000 GBP pounds 3 years later, it was sold for 1,350,000 GBP, giving the original purchaser a gain of $1,279 GBP per day. Its history went Bought as a novelty, Considered an article of interest, became an philatelic elitist collection item, A Japanese investment inflation hedge, in a vault somewhere, hedging some inflation their purchase helped to create. My stamp is at the "novelty stage" Sorry Brian, I am holding out for $3 Measurement across the serpentine Die Cut (Perf 10) 134mm x 185mm |

Fabulous Jen ! that was very interesting. I was aware I had missed wrestling, and was going to edit, but thought nobody would be interested in Mongolia, and became lazy. Yes indeed, women, more and more are becoming part of the sports genre, I watched a small piece on Women Wrestlers in Bolivia recently. I am a big fan of Aussie women's cricket, soccer and cycle road racing. |

I am so pleased other people enjoy the Stamps of Mongolia If you have enough web speed and download, see this beautiful short film of an Aussie trekking across Mongolia for 3 years, just him, his horse and a dog (and one pair of pants) in temperatures -40 to +40 It highlights the beautiful, generous people of Mongolia.

No activity since 2015.....so not many collect Mongolia - I have 400 in inventory - I call them ¢ stamps but they are nice - I do not actively seek them....they were there - it would cost more to get rid of them than their CV ! The majority CTOs but some do collect them René |
