ITEM OF THE MONTH

 J U N E     2  0  0  7
In this month of June we continue our presentation of different philatelic items with so-called "personalized" stamps (I call them labels), Volleyball topics printed on sheet margins etc.  These labels (tabs) are joined to the stamp (which shows the face value and does not necessarily concern the basic theme), and they are printed by Postal Authorities, sometimes by order from individual persons. These ‘labelled’ stamps are issued directly with the label (normally perforated) as established by the postal authorities. In common philatelic language they are called "personalized" stamps, although they are o real stamps.
