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.

Bhutan

This is my first post on stamps of countries other than India. I am starting with Bhutan here and these are all the stamps of Bhutan I have, mostly miniature sheets though. I love the stamps of this country simply because of the variety, colour and shapes that they come in. I am thinking of collecting, having in my collection all of the Bhutan releases to date. Will see how that goes and hope I get there sooner than later.

All the stamps here are arranged in order of the date and year of issue, reference Scott catalogue 2008, Vol. 1. My first stamp of Bhutan is Scott No. 120, 3 ch deep red lilac, from the 1971-72 releases depicting the Wangdiphodrang Dzong and Bridge.
