Editorial improvements have been made throughout the work. With the help of new research, we have been able to supplement or correct issue data, circulation figures and validity notes in all areas. In Slovakia, the editorial team discovered a reprint with new perforations for the stamp marking the inauguration of President Čaputová. In the Czech Republic, the failure of the intaglio printing process led to significant misprints: stamps without values or country names. A block without hologram foil also slipped through quality control.
Another focus was on checking and updating price indications. Slovak perforations from 1943/44 continue to increase in value. Demand was registered for current blocks and miniature sheets with interesting motifs. In the Czech Republic, complete miniature sheets of greetings stamps are particularly popular. Even mass-produced items from the communist era in Czechoslovakia are increasing in value.
