As some know, I’m somewhat enthusiast stamp exchanger. Without a doubt I’m having at least one active trade going on constantly; most of the time I’m involved in at least 2-3 trades. Yes, it takes both time and resources, but in return my collection grows at the rate 2-3,000 new items per year due to this contribution; and in exchange I naturally give away the same amount of unnecessary duplicates…This time I’ve decided to show some of the stamps I receive from other traders.
And to finalize this week’s “freakshow”, here’s a 1973 Hungarian 3 forint definitive postage stamp with dark green color omitted. The most noticeable difference is when looking at the trees on the hills, but it does affect other areas too.
Moving on with EFO’s, next on the line I have a 1946 Hungarian definitive stamp (”Industrial worker”) with somewhat dramatic color change. It’s possible that one of the colors has been omitted during print, or this is some sort of chemical changeling.
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 cover from Hungary is iMO one of the nicest ones I’ve received for a long time.
