(cj-MICHEL/pcp) In MICHEL Southeastern Europe 2024, philatelists will find all the information they need on the collection areas of Romania and Moldova.
The editorial improvements are spread throughout the entire work. The Romanian FDCs of the 1950s have been scrutinised intensively. The editors were now able to state the number of official first day covers per issue. They also registered significant price increases here. Romania also scores with 16 newly discovered perforation varieties. A small sheet margin printed upside down is visually spectacular. A third colour was detected on the 5-bani franking mark of 1879. Important to know, especially for motif collectors: The 2023 stamp year brings a total of 18 pages of fresh goods for Romania and Moldova.
Another focus was on reviewing and updating the price quotations. Current auction results bring movement to the cancelled ox-eye stamps of the early years. Price changes can be found practically throughout the entire collection area of Romania; most of them are increases. They are particularly concentrated in the annex of the area for official, postage and compulsory surcharge stamps.
