Hello Rodney

Popular in this context should probably be read as "People's" - it is
in fact if not in mind synonimous. A fair number of peoples republics
do not appear to have a high regard for people and are certainly
decidedly unpopular - and Romania of a certain period more unpopular
than most !

Regards
Malcolm

Thanks guys,
Mette I have not checked my Polish collection,
the majority I have, seem all to have tabs already.

On a Romanian note, today is "this day in history"
in 1947 that King Michael abdicated the throne, under communist pressure
Stamps, generally, from now on lose "Romania" and reveal
"Republica Populara Romania".

One must wonder how popular that really was.

| Rodney, if you need stamps from the Polish part of any

| Not quite so elaborate as the Romanian ones, but yet valid
| postage stamps ... ;-)

| Occasionally, I bump into stamp tabs such as these:

|
| 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.
