120g Germany "Off-Paper" Stamp Mixture - Huge Variety, Commemoratives & Charity Issues - Lot ST368
This lot is primarily made up of commemoratives from the "Deutsche Bundespost" (West Germany) and post-reunification "Deutschland" eras. German kiloware is highly valued by collectors because German stamps are known for high-quality printing and varied, colorful designs.
Notable Items in this lot
Scanning the top of the bag, there are several "eye-catching" pieces that help the value:
• 1968 Mexico Olympics (Purple Stamp): A classic sports thematic stamp.
• International Garden Exhibition 1983: These colorful floral themes are very popular for "topical" collectors.
• Surcharge Stamps (e.g., "20+10"): Several stamps have two numbers. The second number (the surcharge) was a donation to charity (e.g., Youth Welfare or Sport). These are often more desirable than standard stamps.
• Recent High-Values: There are several larger, modern stamps with values like "100" or "55" that feature high-definition photography of German landscapes and landmarks.
