My Postage Stamps Collection

This is a blog of my personal stamps and covers collection. I am an avid collector of postage stamps, miniature sheets, FDCs and covers addressed to me from across the world, an accumulator and hoarder of stamps. It is my attempt here to show you all of my collection in the posts that I'll add and update regularly. I hope to add more to the collection in the process, interact with you other collectors out there and share thoughts and information about anything and everything related.

Cover - Pridnestrovian Moldavian Republic, Country #120

My first and probably the only cover I'll ever receive from Transnistria. This is a rarity. Transnistria??? A disputed region in Eastern Europe located between Moldova and Ukraine. International recognition is controversial. Although Transnistria declared independence in 1990, the vast majority of other countries do not recognise its sovereignty.

Transnistria has its own government, parliament, military, police, postal system, and currency. Its authorities have adopted a constitution, flag, national anthem, and coat of arms.
