Postage Stamp - 500th Birth Anniversary of Michelangelo - Rebellious Slave 1513 - USSR 1975 - Michel 4331 - my hobby.

Greetings friends!

Today, I want to continue my story about a series of postage stamps of the USSR, issued in 1975 and dedicated to the anniversary - 500th Birth Anniversary of Michelangelo.

If you pay close attention, you can see how the propaganda of the communist system of the USSR worked, even in this series of postage stamps.

This is my guess, but you need to be blind not to see it. You can't read it anywhere else.

You need to understand that the political strategists of the USSR were strong psychologists and tried to bring the necessary information to the minds of people in different ways.

This series of postage stamps can be compared to the 25th frame in the cinema. Our optic nerve does not see the 25th frame, but the information it carries remains.

So, the circulation of these stamps is large, which means that many fans of collecting postage stamps have these series.

As a rule, when guests come to the philatelists, they share their impressions and show the guests their postage stamps.

As a result, practically every Soviet person saw these postage stamps, which carry some information.

The first stamp, which depicts the statue of David, is similar in texture and color to the American dollar, and, as it were, suggests that the USSR is ready to throw a stone at the head of the capitalist world - Goliath.

The second postage stamp, on the other hand, shows a crumpled boy on the color palette of the USSR ruble. These are people suffering from capitalism, to whom the USSR is always ready to help.

Now, let's look at the third postage stamp in this series - Rebellious Slave.

It depicts the Rebel Slave, again, against the backdrop of the American dollar palette.

This postage stamp is like a call for revolt, a call for freedom and breaking the chains of capitalism.

If you're careful, postage stamps can tell a lot.

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.

To be continued.
