Postage Stamp - History of Russian Aircraft - R-5 Biplane, 1929 - Soviet Union 1977 - Michel Soviet Union 4625 - my hobby.

Greetings friends!

The biplane that you see on the next postage stamp from Series History of Russian Aircraft, now, in 1929, lol, the year, has become similar to single-engine planes, which sometimes fly to this day, entertaining tourists, or irrigating fields with pesticides.

Looking at such machines, you understand that the wisdom of the past generations is practically not replenished.

Everything that is invented today is a shadow, a trace of those discoveries that were made long ago.

Even crypto-coins, the principles of increasing their value, pumps and other tricks, all this already existed in other areas of life, when the computer was not yet invented.

But is it.

We are used to the fact that a computer is an electronic device, but, look at the slide rule, this is a computer with 100% efficiency, which does not consume electricity, but performs calculations.

Now, let's take a look at a postage stamp.

Important!

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.
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.
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.
If you are afraid that the postage stamp sellers will want to deceive you, you are doing the right thing, do not doubt it.
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.
When buying postage stamps, pay special attention to the back of the postage stamp. The adhesive layer must not be damaged.
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.
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.
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.
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.

To be continued.
