Landscapes of Israel – Professional Collection – Most Likley the Best in the World – Valuable in Quality and Enormous in Quantity – All Types of Printing and Paper, Phosphor Bands Including Unique Items - in Six Impressive Albums divided into Departments and Accompanied by Explanations – Unique!
Landscapes of Israel was a definitive series which for a long time served to send mail. Since 1970, the Israeli postal service issued the series to match the postage at the time. Over the years, additional postage stamps of the series were issued according to changes in the postage. The postage stamps were used for sending letters of all types: regular, registered, abroad, and more. The series itself was nice and collectors as well as the general public liked it since it expressed the landscapes of our beloved country.
As a result, there were recurring printings which generated an abundance of changes and variants such as changes in dates of printing, type of paper used, type of glue, phosphor bands, the margins and more.
One of the greatest collectors collected all these. He bought sheet after sheet, pair after pair, adding to his collection every significant variant. He invested thousands of hours and a lot of money to add the most unique items to his collection. For example, the collection contains a single item that was bought in one of the leading auction houses for $2900. The collection contains items that are most likely the only one of their type in the world. The collector did not only add the best items to his collection but built a methodical collection which misses nothing!
The collection is accompanied by detailed explanatory leaves containing a precise description of the items. The collection is thus built as a fascinating lecture on the subject. Six huge albums with an infinite number of items which actually constitute a fascinating series of books. There is also an interesting preface by the collector introducing the series, an index and an explanation of the philately concepts that appear in the descriptions of the items.
