New issues -
🇭🇰 Hong Kong Post -
20 June 2024 - ‘Declared monuments in Hong Kong’, second series - 6 stamps and 1 miniature sheet containing all 6 stamps. Designed by Eric Chan from illustrations by Sindy Lau Yuen-hing and printed in lithography. Rating:-***.
🇱🇹 Stamperija -
No matter what is happening in the new issue market the appalling Lithuania-based Stamperija continues to churn out philatelic products suggesting that there must still be people out there who buy the trash and thus make it worthwhile for this set-up to still produce its dreadful products. Currently two Commonwealth postal authorities seem to still have a contract with the exploitative and cynical people behind Stamperija - Togo and Sierra Leone - and although I make a point of rarely mentioning any of the rubbish emanating from Stamperija, I will mention the following as they are dated 2024 and therefore would appear to the first of these products from both countries to appear with a stated date of issue this year. As always with this trash, caveat emptor. All rated ‘0’of course.
🇸🇱 Products inscribed Sierra Leone -
Stated to have been ‘issued’ in 2024 - Russian invasion of Ukraine - ‘Valerii Zaluzhnyi receives the Hero of Ukraine award’ - 2 miniature sheets; ‘Oleksandr Syrskyi becomes commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine’ - 2 miniature sheets.
🇹🇬 Products inscribed Togo -
