Today , I'll present some stamps from Yugoslavia and Colombia..

The group of stamps presented above is a mix of two series... Two incomplete series , one (8) [the 2p stamp is missing] representing King Alexander of Yugoslavia and the other (5) [the 10d stamp is missing] King Peter I of Yugoslavia...they are grouped in just one series in the Scott Catalog because they all present the label  "Kraljevstvo", below the King's picture... As you can see in the stamp at the right , the label is "Kraljevina" , and it belongs to another posterior series equal in all other labels and pictures..
[Left] 
A) Incomplete series "King Alexander (1921)" SG(165,..,172) Sc(2,..,9)
B) Incomplete series "King Peter I (1921)" SG(173,...,176) Sc(10,...,13)
Perf: 12

[Right]
stamp from the series (5) "King Alexander (1923)"
Perf: 12
SG(189) Sc(22)
[ Printed and Engraved by 'American Bank Note Co.' ]

In one of the first posts of this Blog, I have presented 4 of the 14 stamps of this series.. however I need to say that there are two similar series (similar design but this one has an extra label in the inferior frame)
Series (14) "King Alexander (1931/1934)"
Perf: 12.5
SG(255) Sc(73)

five stamps from the "King Alexander Memorial Series" (14) from 1934..

Perf: 12.5

SG(305,...,309) Sc(102,...,106)

Complete series from 1899 "General José Maria Córdoba" ; it is a series from Colombia , but also from the Antioquia Province..

when I saw these stamps, I immediately went to the NET to see other images of the stamps, because they seem to me with a very bad printing... they all look the same , so I concluded that they were "genuine"... the curious thing is that the printing from the frames is good but the central design and printing of the General is very bad , and the design it self is not very perfect....I also think that there was no reason to make a falsification , because of the very small catalog value of these stamps... 

Perf: 11.5 [other perforations and even imperforated stamps exists...]

SG(118,...,128) Sc(117,...,127)

During the time of Leadership , Tito struggle to maintain a Unified Yugoslavia , despite the known divergences between Serbs, Croats and Slovens (for some he Was a dictator, to others a hero... what is the true?? I don't know and I think that  it is that kind of "things" that doesn't worry me , as a stamp collector.. YES to Stamps!!! No to Politics!!! when We are working with our stamps , Politics stay's at the door...)

3 stamps from the set 27 1898 "Queen Wilhelmina 1898/1924" ; at least one of the stamps from this set was issued only in 1924 , what gives us a long period of circulation for some of them. It is possible to see a "terrible" postmark on the stamp of 10c (it is a weird cancellation for this period...) and some spots of rust or other material, that decrease the final overall condition of the 12.5c stamp.

8 stamps from the set 10 1967 " President Tito's 75th Birthday " ; this set is very important for me , because one of my goals in this hobby is to complete the year of 1967 in the greatest number of countries possible...I think that this goal is becoming rapidly a secondary one , and the first objective , for me now is to complete the larger number of series possible  ...So , I always need stamps , from every date, country or thematic.. I only need stamps..!! when i finish a 1967 country, I use to make a youtube video..You can always access them at  https://www.youtube.com/user/1967Stamps  

Back to President Tito's stamps, I need to say that the values of 15c and 85c are missing ( there should be no problem to finish this set.) .In 1968 , another emission of these stamps was made with different values or same values with different colors..

Perf: 12.5

SG(1246,1247,1249,1250,1251,1252,1253,1273)  Sc(860,861,863,864,865,866,867,869) 

I also have a G+ page , that was very important for me , because all this idea of showing the progress of my collection, was taken from all that is happening there.. people like to see stamps ( other collectors , of course..) , old stamps , new stamps, expensive stamps , cheap stamps, etc.. In these moment I have a great difficulty , that is to connect this blog to my G+ circles.. it is a problem ( an old problem..) with my email (to much things connected to the same email...).. I am hopping to resolve this problem in the next few days....
