About

My

Stamp

Stash

I have been stashing away full sheets of commemorative stamps and other philatelic items for over 45 years -- Evelio did too -- for no other reason except that we liked the designs -- they depict subjects that we were interested in -- fossils, animals, plants, history, famous people, science, technology and art -- stamp collecting is an easy way for kids from 8 to 68 to learn about geography, as well as the subjects depicted on the postage stamps --

they are also one of the top 3 investment choices by knowledgeable collectors / investors, requiring a lot less room to store than art works, are not as heavy as GOLD / silver coins, are way easier to transport than physical real estate property, and easier to care for! As with these other investments, their value has increased over the years, and they are just plain fun to collect!

This series was obtained from a retired collector many years ago, and he told me they cost him over $15 / each. All are in MINT condition. When a date is given, above, it is found somewhere on the stamp (usually at the bottom), which is not always the case -- on some I found no date. Each stamp is contained, loose, in a neato thin clear plastic - like folder attached to an oversize heavy stock textured board backing, having explanatory text and embossing. This board is contained in an archival plastic top loader having a sewn-in black left margin with no holes -- see PIC, below

This commemorative display page is oversized for my scanner platten, and is not shown completely -- the digital PIC, above, does illustrate this item in its entirety, outside of its protective top loader. The colours are a lot brighter and more vivid in real life -- keep in mind that the scan, below, as kewl as it appears, does absolutely no justice to this fabulous unique special stamp page item because it is NOT flat against the scanner platten and may appear somewhat out of focus.

WOWSERS! Each stamp is in beautiful color, and each depicts a different winter sport, from Cross Country Skiing, Hockey to Speed Skating, and more! A truly inspiring collection!

The reverse of the backing board is white, without printing.

"The stage for the event ws set in Lake Placid, New York, a small village that had also played host to the 1932 Winter Games... During the 13 days of competition, nine Olympic records fell to various athletes, and one world's record was set by America's speed skating sensation, Eric Heiden."

"This display page is a limited edition of the Postal Commemorative Society issued exclusively to Members."

You could easily have this beautiful stamp sheet matted and framed, and it would make a wonderful display on the walls of your home or office.

This fabulous vintage commemorative art stamp page will be securely sent between boards for protection against possible bending / damage in transit, but I always suggest that the buyer get insurance just in case -- see below for my shipping information.
