Postage Stamp - National icebreaker fleet - Icebreaker "Fyodor Litke" - USSR 1976 - Michel 4560 - my hobby.

Greetings friends!

Looking at postage stamps, one gets the impression that bright and beautiful postage stamps are something valuable, but nondescript postage stamps are simply rubbish.

But, very often, everything happens exactly the opposite.

Looking at the catalogs and the cost of postage stamps, I see the mistakes I made at a young age when I liked bright pictures, lol.

Then, I changed the postage stamps that I didn’t like for those postage stamps that I liked, and now I see a difference in price, a very, significant difference, what I thought was rubbish, many times more expensive today.

But, experience comes with years and practice.

Many mistakes can be avoided if you approach collecting analytically, but sometimes it is not necessary, just enjoy the flight.

Two days ago I began a story about a series of National icebreaker fleet postage stamps issued in the USSR in 1976.

On these post marks we see the progress of the icebreaker fleet, from the first icebreaker.

Today, I want to present to you a postage stamp that features another Icebreaker "Fyodor Litke" trophy icebreaker.

I said that it was a trophy, the fact is that there was a civil war, the revolution of 1917, and everything that the communists received should be called trophies.

This icebreaker was launched in the English line in 1909 under the name Earl Grey.

But, being acquired by Russia, it was renamed and now we see a postage stamp called - Icebreaker "Fyodor Litke".

Let's take a look at this postage stamp.

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.

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.

Классные марки, как по мне их стоимость должна быть чуть выше. Как не как 6 лет и можно считать антиквариатом.

Я думаю, тут рботает принцип насосов. На даный момент много желающих продать, что сложно. На рынке много предложений по очень высокой цене, я указывю минимальное ценовое предложение.
