200 AÑOS

VIVA MÉXICO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Latvia

From Latvia arrived this cover the other day and i have to mention that it took less than 2 weeks to arrive, wich is a first considering the distance and the postal service here in México, anyway i liked it very much the envelope and the stamps thank you very much Juris :) i hope we can continue to trade more.

Eslovakia

This very nice covers are from Slovakia, on the top we can see 3 stamps:
the first one, journalist, politician and political scientist from Slovakia, Milan Hodža.
second and third, from a series called Sights of our Homeland
- Castle of Topoľčianky
- Castle Betliar

on the bottom there are 2 stamps from a series called Seven Saints
- St. Gorazd
- St. Clement
All stamps issued on 2010, needless to say i liked them a lot :)
Thank you very much Róbert, your covers are on the way :)

Canada

Hey everyone, i got this cover from Canada, a commemorative series called Roadside attractions, there are four stamps in the series, the one missing is a goose. It would have been an excellent cover but the excessive postmarking kinda ruins it. Thank you very much Gregg.

USA

Recently I went on vacation to California, and i made a lot of gifts to myself :), 2 of them are the ones you are looking right now :D
-Simpsons complete set
-Sunday Funnies complete set
I don´t have words to describe :~), oh but I have anger because the postal workers or someone tried to steal the stamp! please look closely to Marge in the lower corner :(

Moldova

Preserve the Polar Regions and Glaciers :D, how great this cover is??????? THANKS TATIANA!

EUROPA 2009 slowly but they keep on comming, thanks to all of you :), actually this time thanks to Tatiana!. In the stamps we can see Galileo Galilei and Nicolae Donici.
I also got the booklet ;)

Italia

Since I am not an expert in cover collecting, I was wondering, if you have a regular envelope with the stamp and the postmark commemorating the stamp, is that a FDC? or does it has to be the whole package? envelope, stamp and postmark?...In the meantime here is a cover from my friend Fabio :)(thanks!!), the stamp is the painting by Caravaggio "David with Goliath´s head" , it looks so real, issued on 2010.

USA

Now it's complete :D the other part of the design is Rube Foster, quoting wikipedia "Andrew "Rube" Foster (September 17, 1879 - December 9, 1930) was an American baseball player, manager, and pioneer executive in the Negro Leagues. He was elected to the Baseball Hall of Fame in 1981". Nice ;) Thanks again Ira!

Francia

I took my time to upload this cover because I wanted the explanation to be accurate and formal in every way. But when I see it and hold it in my hands I just can't think of anything else but, "No manches esto esta excelente" while smiling at it(sorry I think in spanish)so all the planning and everything resumes to that ;).
The souvenir sheet issued on 2009 commemorates several things:
-Henry Dunant 1828-1910
-La Bataille de Solferino 24 juin 1859
-Georges Braque 1882-1963
-Les Conventions de Genève
-Fédération Internationale des Sociétés de la Croix-Rouge et du Croissant-Rouge

On the top part is a painting and an explanation "C'est à la suite de la bataille de Solferino qu'Henry Dunant créera la Croix-Rouge"(It was after the Battle of Solferino, that Henry Dunant created the Red Cross).
Thanks Eric! :D

Sudafrica

And another cover with the theme Preserve The Polar Regions and Glaciers :D this one from South Africa i just love the theme, from the depth of it ( bringing awareness to global warming) to the colors and the wide variety of animals in the designs. And again "Please help me out!" I still need 7 million covers from the other countries that issued this... ok not that many haha :) but please help. Thanks Richard!!

Suiza

Another Preserve Polar Regions cover to my collection from Switzerland :D. If you read this: Please help me out!!! I still have lots and lots of countries that I need the cover from.
Thanks Vural!!

Myanmar

Myanmar cover, it's all I can say because I don't understand the writing in the stamps. Another thing I can say is that I liked it a lot even if I didn't understood anything :D

Qatar

Isn't this a nice cover?, this stamps are from a souvenir sheet wich is a huge blue drop and the stamps are inside, i asked for the sheet but no luck :(. 3 different stamps showing RasGas, the value of 1 riyal and it says on the bottom "RasGas - Celebrating Train 6 Inauguration & 10 years of LNG Sales". It's a company that sales liquified natural gas.Thanks Nilesh!!!

Canada

This nice cover from Canada with a souvenir sheet, a Joint issue Canada-Sweden, it has a Harbour Porpoise and a Sea Otter. And a single stamp from Vancouver 2010 winter olympics set of Celebrating GOLD.
Thanks Chris!

Rumania

This scary cover with tarantulas from Romania, it's part of a sheet with even more tarantulas, but this one is a Grammostola rosea, issued 2010. I hope i can get the whole sheet sometime it is really nice. Thanks Silviu!!!

Korea

I am showing this cover on both sides, since I think the back is better than the front :). I like souvenir sheets on the covers, but I don't know what I like most, single stamps or souvenir sheets I think it's 40-60 , it depends on the caution people take on putting the stamps or the souvenir sheet, anyway thanks Wonsik!

Turquia

I got this cover from Turkey really nice bird printed on the envelope, I am not a bird person so i can't tell wich type of bird this is, if you know just let me know :).
Comes from a city named Pasaport ;)The flower stamp is a Crocus Stevenii. The other 2 stamps are the same painting of a city named Zonguldak.
Thanks Ahmet!

Ecuador

I got this cover from Ecuador and pardon my ignorance but i had no idea the currency there was the USD, when i saw the stamp i was in disbelief, anyway making some wiki-investigations i got to it, since 2000 they use USD and they even issue their own centavo coins, 10 years... i guess i did not watch the news that day on 2000 or just havent received mail from there. Oh well i think we never cease to learn. Gracias Juan!

USA

This cover from the U.S.A. has 2 commemorative stamps released this year and a definitive. The first commemorative is from the series Sunday Funnies and has Garfield on it, i just love Garfield. The second one is about the Negro Leagues Baseball, this one its a two stamp series that complement on the design, and for what i can see i got the left side of the stamps, features a baseball player reaching home safe ;)(cause you can actually see the ball still in the air just about to get to the glove of the catcher)...the baseball season in this part of my country has not begun, i like going to baseball games :)
Thanks Ira

India

Thanks Jahfer. This cover from India has two stamps about horses that are part of a souvenir sheet released on 2009, the Manipuri and Zanskari horse :).The other 3 stamps are a complete series also released on 2009 named Rare Fauna of the North-East. And has a picture of a Marbled Cat, Barbe´s Leaf Monkey and a Red Panda. I think the Red Panda is almost extinct, wich is a shame, not only the Red Panda i think but any animal...

Singapore

This cover from Singapore has a series of 10 stamps with no value indicator, and i just learned (thanks wiki,) that the "1st Local" legend printed on the stamp means that it's valid for a letter within Singapore weighing no more than 20 grams ;). Great Architecture series by the way. Thanks Florence!

Guatemala

I got this great cover from my friend Haroldo in Guatemala, registered and with a watercolour drawing on the corner, it's the view of the street Coban, A.V.. I can't thank you enough Haroldo. The 3 stamps belong to a series of 4 stamps issued in 2009, "Juegos Tradicionales" America UPAEP (traditional games) Yoyo, Capirucho and Barrilete. Needles to say i have played them all, with different names in Mexico, but still :)

Latvia

I recently started with this new theme EUROPA but only the year 2009 when they issued the astronomy stamps, i hope i can get them all, so if you read this blog entry and you are in Europe and you would like to help me out, please do so! :D i will send a nice cover back. This one is from Latvija thanks to my friend Atis.
