Rodney, if you need stamps from the Polish part of any
such joint issues, please contact me. There are several
Polish Copernicus stamps in circulation, and I have some.
Not quite so elaborate as the Romanian ones, but yet valid
postage stamps ... ;-)

Occasionally, I bump into stamp tabs such as these:

http://groups.msn.com/Stamps/shoebox...to&PhotoID=190

I was wondering, if the habit of adjoining tabs was widespread
in the Romanian collection?

Does the tab increase the value of the adjoining stamp?

In the case of Copernicus, I guess the tab advertises a Philatelic
convention in Poland? was this a joint effort?

Any info would be appreciated.
Thanks

Rodney,

Both stamps of 1957 and 1973 were issued with tabs joining them. Michel
gives prices with and without tabs for the 1957 set, the prices with tabs
being higher.

The 1973 issue is expected to have a tab. It commemorates a philatelic
exhibition in Poznan, Poland. Poland has issued two souvenir sheets on
19th
of August 1973.
