(Germering/pcp) In the MICHEL Baltic States and Finland 2024/2025, philatelists will find all the important information on the collecting areas of Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania and Finland, including the autonomous region of Åland.
This time, special attention has been paid to stamps on private order. In Estonia, this section has been thoroughly revised, and in Lithuania a new framework has been created after seven years. In Finland, collectors can look forward to more precise distinguishing features on the 1901 “Russian Coat of Arms” stamps. From the past to the present: Box by Posti is a new value-added service stamp in Finland. The editorial team has combined Latvia’s popular artist blocks into a single series. And it was able to assign edition numbers to the many stamp booklets for philatelic exhibitions
Another focus has been the revision and updating of price lists. Estonian interwar issues are clearly among the winners. But also stamp books, transparency sheets and miniature sheets from modern Estonia have increased. In Finland there is a lot of movement, especially in the 1990s, both for mint and used stamps. For the Latvian overprinted stamps MiNos 313-316, the editorial team has for the first time evaluated pairs with and without overprints. In Lithuania, stamps with a courtesy postmark from 1940 now also have their own price quotation.
