It’s been a while since I showcased some of the interesting EFO’s (Errors, Freaks, Oddities) from my collection. Recently I came accross with this easy to notice plate flaw with Hungarian 1954 Aviators Day postage stamp.
This could very well be a sequal to “I hate when postal service ruins a beautiful item” post I made week ago. Sadly most of the items on this nice cover have escaped the postmark.
Lundy puffin postage stamps are widely known amongst the stamp collectors. The history behind the stamps of Lundy is pretty similar to stamps of Herm Island (see yesterday’s post if you missed it).
And from Venezuela to France, where I have received two covers.
I believe most stamp collectors are familiar with Inverted Jenny, one of the worlds most prestigious stamp printing errors. But how many has seen the non-inverted stamp (and other stamps of the same set)?
I think most worldwide (and US) collectors recognize the US airmail postage stamp I’m writing today. In 1980 US post (along with Italian Post) issued a commemorative stamp to honor the 280th anniversary of Philip Mazzei’s birth. The stamp exists in two different perforations: 11¼ and 10½x11¼ (latter having over 10x catalogue value to normal stamp).
