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.

Unusual Stamp on Cover - Singapore

This one from Singapore is another great addition to my collection of unusual and odd-shaped stamps on cover. To commemorate the 45th anniversary of diplomatic relations between Singapore and Egypt, a joint stamp issue by Singapore Post featuring Significant Rivers was issued on 17 October 2011. Whats so unusual about these stamps anyway?

To the best of my knowledge these stamps are the longest or widest, as you may call it ever issued in the world so far. From perforation to perforation these measure 16.2 cm. I am hoping to add the Egyptian counterparts of these to my collection soon too. They aren't this long.

Our City in a Garden - Singapore

Wong Wee Leong sent me this lovely FDC of the latest "Our city in a garden" issue from Singapore. Four stamps and a collectors sheet were issued on 13 July 2013. On the cover are the four stamps.

The four designs on the stamps portray Singapore's vibrant urban landscape nestled within a thriving garden with native plants and wildlife. To commemorate 50 years of greening Singapore, the self-adhesive 1st local stamps from this series come affixed with seeds of the Portulaca grandiflora for everyone to plant. The creeper is a common sight in Singapore in roadside plantings, rooftop gardens, on flowerbeds and as ornamental displays in pots.
