		<description><![CDATA[As Angola is these days part of the “evil empire of IGPC” (philatelic agency, which produces most  of the topical stamps for small islands and developing countries), I was not hardly surprised when I lately received a selection of pretty CTO-used Angola topical stamps.  But I was slightly amazed when they all turned [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[In early January I wrote a short introduction about Seebeck reprints on some Nicaraguan stamps.  Well, it&#8217;s time for a short revisit on the topic as I&#8217;ve received few more Nicaraguan stamps from various stamp exchanges. The following examples are from the 1891 &#8220;Goddess of plenty&#8221; / &#8220;Allegorical figure with cornucopia&#8221; series (with very [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The name of Seebeck is something that many stamp collectors and philatelist recognize at some level.  He was a stamp dealer and printer, best known for his stamp-printing contracts with several Latin American countries in the late 19th century producing loads of stamps to collector markets.

Last month I started organizing some of my mint [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[One of the requested topics for the blog entries has been CTO (Cancelled-to-order) stamps.  As the recent post about East German definitive stamps showed several CTO-examples, I think this is an excellent time to demystify CTO.

So what does CTO mean?
The short definition of CTO is very simple: a stamp that the issuing postal service [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The Isö cinderellas are somewhat interesting phenomena in Scandinavian philately.  Some sources (such as Wikipedia) mention Isö stamps as &#8220;local post stamps from Eastern Sweden (Gotland)&#8221;, but in reality these are complete bogus stamps.

The first Isö cinderellas I&#8217;m aware date back to early 1970&#8217;s and there seems to be a run of issues up to [...]]]></description>
