Postage Stamp - Sports - Wrestling - Republic of Senegal 1961 - Michel Senegal 245 - my hobby.
Greetings friends!
Sport is always money, and money is always sport.
I think that one day, trading on cryptocurrency exchanges will become part of the Olympic Games, the main thing is that the computer monitor would be bigger, and the chair would be anatomically comfortable, lol.
Where there are people, sports always appear, because, by nature, a person tries to prove his superiority over other people.
I do not think that you have the constant opportunity to follow the sports competitions that are held on the African continent, but today you have the opportunity to see the freestyle wrestling competitions, which, as the postage stamp shows, was popular in the Republic of Senegal.
Spectators sit comfortably on the sand and watch the very dynamic resistance of the two wrestlers.
A postage stamp issued in 1961 in the Republic of Senegal illustrates very well the dynamics of this competition.
The artist who painted this small postage stamp was a master of his craft.

Important!
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.
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.
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.
If you are afraid that the postage stamp sellers will want to deceive you, you are doing the right thing, do not doubt it.
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.
When buying postage stamps, pay special attention to the back of the postage stamp. The adhesive layer must not be damaged.
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.
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.
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.
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.
