Found in a Book
A week ago, I bought a copy in Russian of Dostoevsky's Crime
and Punishment. Kiev, 1979. When I opened it, I noticed a few stamps. I continued to flip pages and there were more stamps. Yesterday I organized the stamps, about 200 in all. All from the Soviet Union, all commemoratives from the years 1973 to 1975, all mint. Francis A. Miniter

Wow! If you don't collect stamps yourself, you might be able to make
enough by selling them to pay for the book... g

The Soviet Union was a notorious stamp-mill, pouring out endless numbers and quantities of pretty--and completely worthless--commemoratives. Used ones are rarer than mint. You can buy giant lots of them from stamp companies for just a few dollars. -- Jon Meyers

The Soviet Union was a notorious stamp-mill, pouring out endless numbers and quantities of pretty--and completely worthless--commemoratives. Used ones are rarer than mint. You can buy giant lots of them from stamp companies for just a few dollars. Not unlike the USA and virtually every other country with a postal system. It's no wonder that the stamp collecting hobby is in an inexorable decline.
