Stationery revaluations during 1991-1995 in Ukraine - that stuff was cheap, plentiful and enormously interesting! I've also always liked the 1909-1920 Arms types of Russia, but you do need a copy of Leonard Tann's handbook to understand what was going on there.<br />As for the stuff nobody likes....I took up a sideline in Paraguay 5 years ago. I think I'm one of very few people to collect 1910-1945 Paraguay and that's fine by me! I buy color proofs for $18, artist's designs for $100, varieties for $3-$20...it's heaven!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
