Catalogue Specifics: 

Fiume, Italy, San Marino, Trieste (Zone A), Vatican City

Description:

Editorial improvements are found throughout the entire edition. Regarding issues from Fiume, there is a new overprint type to the postage stamps MiNo. 74 – Mi.No. 76 as well as to the postage-due stamps MiNo. 15 – MiNo. 16. Collectors should pay particular attention to the postage-paid stamp MiNo. 16 II, whose assessment is in the four-digit range.  A striking new type variation has been discovered for the 1988 Italian soccer stamp: Due to the fact that the yellow ink is missing from the print, areas that were originally green are blue. Concerning issues from Fiumerland-Kupa, a new variant of the 1941 “Buccari” issue with a two-color instead of a monochrome overprint has been uncovered. And finally, we added previously missing certificates of validity to all stamps from San Marino and the Vatican that were withdrawn from circulation.

Another focus was on the review and updating of all price quotations. There are both price increases and decreases among the high-priced Italian issues. For example, the “Maccari” stamp booklet from 2019 has seen its value increase tenfold. We also took a close look at the early decades of issues from San Marino and the Vatican and adjusted the price quotations accordingly. The Vatican stamp issued on the occasion of the 2023 World Youth Day has also stayed in great demand. Its value has risen again by several hundred euros.

This edition features all novelties recorded in MICHEL Rundschau up to and including No. 4/2025.
