Postage Stamp - History of Russian Aircraft - Putilov Stal-2 (1931) - Soviet Union 1978 - Michel Soviet Union 4754 - my hobby.

Greetings friends!

There is such an expression - There is no limit to perfection.

Today, looking at the developments of Elon Musk, it seems that it is impossible to surpass these inventions.

But, as the history that we can see on the postage stamps shows, at all times there were their own Elons Masks who created perfect flying machines. Perfect for a specific time.

Indeed, one does not need to go far to understand that our idea of ​​perfection is too primitive.

When I bought #Leo's 0.15 #Hive coin I thought I was too wasteful lol. Recently, I bought Leo more expensive than 4 #Hive and I am sure that this is not the limit of perfection.

When I bought the 0.04 Hive #CTP coin, I thought it was an unjustified risk. I bought 10,000 coins and thought it was the end of my wallet prosperity.

But there is no limit to perfection, lol.

On a postage stamp from series History of Russian Aircraft, issued in the USSR with a circulation of 4,600,000 copies in 1978, with a denomination of 12 kopecks of the USSR, we see a passenger plane Putilov Stal-2 (1931).

At that time, the creation of an all-metal, welded fuselage was comparable to the vertical take-off and landing of Elon Musk's spacecraft.

Important!

  1. Please note that the cost of shipping postage stamps to other countries can be many times more expensive than the postage stamp itself, approximately $ 5.5.

  2. I see that it is not profitable to purchase one postage stamp if, suddenly, you need to replenish your collection. It is always more profitable to purchase the entire series, and, surplus, to change, or sell.

  3. If you decide to buy a postage stamp online, be careful. sometimes sellers use stock images. But this option is unacceptable. You need to see exactly the product that you are buying.

  4. If you are afraid that the postage stamp sellers will want to deceive you, you are doing the right thing, do not doubt it.

  5. To get started with this hobby, buy a good magnifying glass, tweezers with flat and thin edges and a stockbook for postage stamps, they will come in handy.

  6. When buying postage stamps, pay special attention to the back of the postage stamp. The adhesive layer must not be damaged.

  7. There is such an expression - How many people, so many opinions, this also applies to sellers of postage stamps. Each of them believes that his postage stamp is in perfect condition, but only you yourself can find the perfect postage stamp for yourself.

  8. Sometimes, a small, white scrap of paper with a round stamp on it and a number inscribed in the center circle can be a very valuable postage stamp from the days when postage stamps were not printed.

  9. The cost of a postage stamp is determined by supply and demand, but usually in catalogs you can see the estimated cost of a postage stamp in Pounds Sterling.

  10. In terms of quality, postage stamps can be divided into three groups: used postage stamps that were pasted on and removed from the envelope, canceled postage stamps that were canceled at the post office, by order and sent for sale, and clean, uncanceled postage stamps. As you can imagine, these three types of postage stamps, their conditions, greatly affect their value.
