Eloquently put, Malcolm.
I shall employ you as my spokesperson,
however, I must draw your attention to the pay rates,
or lack thereof.

In our home, we have a democracy of 3,
where I am regularly voted out, my policies are stellar
so must presume it must be in the delivery.

| 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 !
|

| 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
| | 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.
