Well said! I enjoy every collection I put together, whether its expensive or cheap to collect; every item is a small work of art, and a little piece of history. I have learnt more about the history of 20th century Europe through stamp collecting than I ever did at school—and had more fun doing it!

1933 issues, recolored and overprinted for the Silver Jubilee of HM King George V in 1935

LOL. Not all. I had an English teacher (a Scot, ironically) who was surprisingly accurate. I saw more than one young lad disappear in a cloud of white chalk dust...

We had prefects for that sort of thing in my day... The teachers just used to fling board dusters at inattentive students.

Yes, true but it wasn't just about oil. The growing awareness of potential oil deposits heightened the stakes and then when you add in the sovereignty dispute - Argentina claimed all ex-Spanish South Atlantic claims were theirs (long since surrendered by Spain) and their junta needed a distraction.

Lovely! I have that one: part of my Coronation of HM King George VI collection.
