This postcard features a variety of stamps from the Soviet Union. I only tried to identify a few of the stamps. In the center is a stamp from a 1954 agriculture set. The bright red stamps just to the left and right of center are from a 1977 October revolution set. In the bottom left corner (upside down) is a 1976 Innsbruck Winter Olympics stamp. In the center of the right side is a stamp from a 1977 postal service set (I featured the postal service set in a previous post History of USSR Mail on Stamps).
Here is a brief video about a Russian philatelist and his collection. I enjoyed watching it even though it is in the Russian language, and I didn't understand anything he said.

What a great postcard. I do remember your you posted that postal stamp. Thank you for participating.
ReplyDeleteThe video gave me the impression that he has been collecting for awhile.
ReplyDeleteThe description on YouTube says 55 years.
DeleteI have collected stamps intermittently for 60 years but will never match what he has shown.
DeleteI search your postcards like this every time in the hope I may find a stamp I have. No luck again this time.
ReplyDeleteThe collector has some wonderful stamps, really beautiful. And so many!
