Croacia


An excellent cover from Croatia featuring a complete series issued in march of 2010, about fruits, it fools the eye because you think it is perforated to make a circle form stamp, but they are not, the dots are printed ;. The other stamp from 2010, just below the fruit ones, is from a series of 4 stamps with the picture of some embroidery design. The last is from 2004 is a croatian town named Virovitica with the picture of The Pejačević Palace. Thanks Josip!!!

México


I got this cover from a fellow Mexican, and it's very interesting because he used stamps from 1977 and 1978 which cover the expenses to send an ordinary domestic letter of less than 20 grams. I think this is awesome because I didn't know one could do that! (use stamps so old). Thanks for the cover and the knowledge José.

Israel

USA


This two covers are from the same person (Thanks Javier!)and I really liked them, the first one uses stamps from 1972, 1992 and 2008, it would have been nice to have something from the 80's don't you think?
The second cover uses mostly definitive stamps from 2003, 2004, 2007 and 2008 and there is a 1c, 2c, 3c, 4c, 5c and 10c, nice ;). The other two staps are Kwanzaa issued on 2009 and Horse Racing issued on 1973.
Both covers with nice red postmarking.
