Postage Stamp - Engineering and Architecture - Coke-plant, Lukavec - Yugoslavia 1962 - Michel Yugoslavia 980 - my hobby.

Greetings friends!

Any hobby, one day, should hook you, keep you, so that it becomes your hobby.

Some postage stamps make me think that if these were my first postage stamps, I would never get involved in philately.

But, this is the look of a person who understands nothing about postage stamps and wants to see only a beautiful picture.

Indeed, for the last two days, I have been looking at the postage stamps of a country that is now not on the world map, this is Yugoslavia.

Between 1960 and 1968, there were very gloomy and uninteresting postage stamps published there, with boring industrial landscapes that made me want to yawn.

Moreover, over the years, identical postage stamps were issued, only the face value of the postage stamp changed.

Look at this postage stamp, it has Coke-plant.

All my life I've wanted to see what Coke-plant looks like lol.

But, someone needed it.

So, if I was born in Yugoslavia, I would not look towards postage stamps as a collectible.

But, from the position of a person who knows a little about postage stamps, I want to say that, very often, it is precisely such postage stamps that quickly gain value.

Firstly, this country no longer exists and there will never be a new circulation of these stamps.

Secondly, at auctions, I see only canceled postage stamps and, in my collection, a clean postage stamp, which, as I understand it, is quite rare.

Out of modesty, lol, I indicated the cost of an uncanceled postage stamp very low, I think it is several times higher.

Important!

  1. Please note that the cost of shipping postage stamps to other countries can be many times more expensive than the postage stamp itself, approximately $ 5.5.

  2. I see that it is not profitable to purchase one postage stamp if, suddenly, you need to replenish your collection. It is always more profitable to purchase the entire series, and, surplus, to change, or sell.

  3. If you decide to buy a postage stamp online, be careful. sometimes sellers use stock images. But this option is unacceptable. You need to see exactly the product that you are buying.

  4. If you are afraid that the postage stamp sellers will want to deceive you, you are doing the right thing, do not doubt it.

  5. To get started with this hobby, buy a good magnifying glass, tweezers with flat and thin edges and a stockbook for postage stamps, they will come in handy.

  6. When buying postage stamps, pay special attention to the back of the postage stamp. The adhesive layer must not be damaged.

  7. There is such an expression - How many people, so many opinions, this also applies to sellers of postage stamps. Each of them believes that his postage stamp is in perfect condition, but only you yourself can find the perfect postage stamp for yourself.

  8. Sometimes, a small, white scrap of paper with a round stamp on it and a number inscribed in the center circle can be a very valuable postage stamp from the days when postage stamps were not printed.

  9. The cost of a postage stamp is determined by supply and demand, but usually in catalogs you can see the estimated cost of a postage stamp in Pounds Sterling.

  10. In terms of quality, postage stamps can be divided into three groups: used postage stamps that were pasted on and removed from the envelope, canceled postage stamps that were canceled at the post office, by order and sent for sale, and clean, uncanceled postage stamps. As you can imagine, these three types of postage stamps, their conditions, greatly affect their value.

To be continued.

For my publications, I do not use stock photographs, it is fundamentally important for me to use photographs that I have made with my own hands for publication and I can name them - authorial work.
