Romania query
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 -- (Remove gum to reply) |

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.

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 ... ;-) Mette Victor Manta wrote in message ... "Rodney" wrote in message ...

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. -- (Remove gum to reply) "Mette" wrote in message ... | Rodney, if you need stamps from the Polish part of any | such joint issues, please contact me.

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, snip 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. King Michael abdicated the throne under the pressure of the USSR, the country that totally controlled the occupied Romania. After the WWII, the Romanian Communist party numbered about 1,000 members only. The king tried to oppose the increasing domination of the USSR, for example by a so called royal strike (a refusal to govern), but in vain, because the fate of Romania was already decided, this starting by the Yalta conference. King Michael on stamps: http://www.marci-postale.com/Romania...rship/king.htm The new name of the country, as it appears on stamps starting by 1948, was Republica Populara Romana (I have left aside the Romanian characters, that most newsgroup readers won't display correctly). This means Romanian Popular Republic (one of many), as opposed to Popular Republic Romania (which means Republica Populara Romania, the Romanian one). The small difference between these names is eventually relevant for the spirit of those who have chosen it. The name of the country, as it appears on Romanian stamps: http://www.marci-postale.com/Romania/Census/name.htm As for the real popularity of this so called Popular Republic, it needed concentration camps in order to successfully enforce its "popularity". A bit about this, as related to stamp collecting, is presented on: http://www.marci-postale.com/Romania...-communism.htm Victor Manta --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Romania Shown by Its Stamps: http://marci-postale.com Communism on Stamps: http://www.values.ch/Communism/ Philatelic Webmasters Organization: http://pwmo.org Art on Stamps: http://values.ch Spanish Africa: http://www.values.ch/sna-site/ Remove "um" from the e-mail address to reply --------------------------------------------------------------------------- |

om... 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 I have good reasons to think that "popular" and "people's" are synonymous. For example in Merriam-Webster, when looking for "popular sovereignty", I have found: 1: a doctrine in political theory that sovereignty is vested in the people as a whole rather than in a particular individual or group (as a ruling dynasty) and as a result that government is created by and subject to the will of the people establish the doctrine of popular sovereignty as the foundation of modern Europe, Times Literary Supplement As for the popularity of the Communist regime in Romania, you are certainly right.
