Vatican on board

FACEBOOK - STAMP THING - VATICAN

VATICAN MATERIAL FOR SALE

Latest addition to our national Facebook groups is VATICAN.

Europe's smallest country is set in the heart of the city of Rome and has issued stamps since the Lateran Treaty in 1929. Most stamps are on  religious theme but in recent years more and more themes have been added to their output, though normally with a Vatican link.

The Vatican is a relatively easy and cheap country to collect, although sourcing used stamps is always difficult!

Andorra

FACEBOOK - STAMP THING - ANDORRA

I recently found a really nice collection of Andorra (French and Spanish POs) and I've just started listing these as well as setting up a Facebook page for the country. These are very well produced stamps and both POs have a conservative issuing policy. I'll be listing these over the next week or two.

I was really only looking for stock sheets to send stamps out to customers so the Andorran material was a bit of a bonus.

I visited Andorra in 1981 and remember a difficult climb over a mountain pass to reach there with the car almost shuffering to a halt on the way. I haven't returned since and only stayed one night. No doubt I will go back one day!
