Travel the World of Postage Stamps - Tropical Orchids - Cypripedium champolliom - Cuba 1972 - Michel Cuba 1755 - my hobby
Greetings friends!
*For me, in philately, there are a lot of incomprehensible points that are difficult for me to explain.
*For example, I do not understand the low auction price of a 5 Cuban centavo postage stamp from the 1972 series of 1a stamps, which depicts Cypripedium champolliom.
*The fact is that the circulation of this postage stamp is very small.
*We can say that the circulation is so scanty that the cost of a used postage stamp should tend to the moon, but this is not so.
*If consider. with most print runs in the millions, 10,000 looks like a little carlson on the rooftops of Stockholm, a rare sight.
*But. maybe one day, everything will fall into place and this postage stamp will get the price it deserves. I am glad to have such a specimen in my collection. moreover, this is not a used postage stamp, but canceled to order.
