GÜNTER PILZ, AUSTRIA, GUATEMALA

I would also like to present my favourite item(s) in this space. They are no great philatelic treasure, but to me they have a special meaning. There are three of them, let's go:

This is a numbered special print of my favourite Volleyball stamp.
It was issued by Spain for the 1992 Olympic Games held in Barcelona, Catalonia.
For me, its design is the best of all the Volleyball stamps in my collection.
The following two items have something in common. They were cancelled on Sept 22, the day of my birthday, and they also have a special meaning to me.
The commeorative cancel of this card, issued for the Junior Volleyball World Championships held in Italy in 1985, shows the founder and inventor of our favourite sport, William G. Morgan. The date of the cancel is the same as my birthday.

The Volleyball stamp on this First Day Cover from Yugoslavia was issued for the Universiade Games held in Zagreb in 1987. It was also cancelled on my birthday, and I include it in this presentation, because I attended these games as a young man and I still have fond memories of this great sport event.
