What's going on?

I am getting a lot of questions about what is happening on this blog. Yes, lately I have plenty of other activities so that philately may be a bit neglected. It will probably be like this for some time. However, I am still available for certification and questions over email.

1945 MARIBOR, Base stamp error

I recently got a stamp with an interesting error...

1945 Maribor provisional issue, No. 8 with missing "1" in "12". Signed Ercegovič.

Missing "1" and some red paint inside "2" suggest that there was some dirt on the cliché during the printing. This mistake is unknown to me. I think it is an occasional error fixed by cleaning up the cliché as soon as it was noticed.

1945 MARIBOR, Partial & reverse overprint

Although it is most likely that the entire margin of one sheet was folded, so all ten stamps from the right edge were partially overprinted on reverse, this is the only piece I have seen so far...

1945 Maribor provisional issue, 15 pf (Mi. 9) partial overprint and overprint on reverse due to paper fold. Attractive and very rare.

The Manual

I am very proud that the manual is now included in the library fund of the Royal Philatelic Society London...

London 2022

I just returned from the London 2022 International Stamp Exhibition. Very glad as this was my first philatelic gathering after the pandemic, and another Large Vermeil medal for my 1941 Međimurje exhibit.

My philatelic plans for 2022

Top three goals:

1. Edit and sort parts of the collection that are not yet consolidated
2. Finish the new book
3. Make an 8-frame exhibit
