Finland Friendship Miniature sheet 1998
After a decade of waiting, I finally managed to get my hands on this Finnish 1998 Friendship greetings stamps miniature sheet (Michel cat. Bl.18, value 7€ for used & mint) with “real” postal usage. Why I highlighted the word real, is that this came on top of parcel from a Finnish stamp dealer some time ago. I don’t think that many non-collectors have, or use stamps as old as this for their postage. The stamps on the sheet are 1st class forever stamps.
When issued in 1998, the sheets postal value was 6×2,80mk (roughly 2,80€), being used this year the sheets postal value is nearly double with 4,80€. So who says stocking modern mint stamps is not worth it? At least I’d be very happy if the bank would provide a 171% interest rate for my money in a decade :LOL:
