Philatelists interested in a particular subject are very exciting and exceptional people. They collect specific postage stamps, covers, post cards, postmarks and other types of philatelic goods. A lot of people all over the world like elephants. This is the reason why so many collectors choose this subject for their collections. Every single collector determines his own collection strategy: focus his attention on specific postage items or products from specific countries and so on. Postage products with the images of elephants are quite rare, because they are issued in a few, mostly African countries. For example, issued on January 28, 2011, in Namibia, set of 5 stamps called Big 5 includes elephant stamp: Postage stamp issue quite often comes along with the issuing of some additional products. That could be, for example, a First Day Cover (FDC). Collectors may be interested in such products as well because it usually includes not only an elephant stamp, but an interesting appropriate postmark. The cover can be also properly designed. Thus, February 25, 2010, Guernsey issued Endangered Species: Asian Elephant FDC: Postal administrations can also issue a souvenir sheet, which underlines all advantages of the stamp and can be considered as interesting philatelic item as such. For example, 250 Years Vienna Zoo souvenir sheet which includes elephant stamp (обычн) was issued on June 3, 2002, by Austria: Those countries which keep elephants in their zoos issue postage items displaying this beautiful animal as well. Thus, Denmark issued Copenhagen Zoo 1859-2009 elephant stamp on June 10, 2009: Collecting of stamps and other postage items on this particular subject requires a lot of time and energy. We share collectors’ passion for elephants and believe we will be very helpful in such difficult yet interesting work. |
