Carpatho-Ukraine 1944-1945: An 'Editor's Choice' Stamp Exhibit

This stamp exhibit showcases the numerous provisional issues of Carpatho-Ukraine from late 1944 to the end of 1945. The exhibit aims to showcase all stamp issues, as well as most major varieties. Since this is not a popular stamp-collecting area, a stamp with an issue of 500 copies is considered relatively common. The rarities in this area are the stamps of which 20 or fewer copies exist. This philatelic exhibit contains over 70 examples of these, including two stamps for which only two copies are known and five others with only three copies known. Carpatho-Ukraine had a complicated history under Czechoslovakia, under Hungary, the Red Army, Czechoslovakia again, the National Council of Carpathia, and the Soviet Union. This exhibit depicts the turbulent times. Prepared by a renowned stamp collector and exhibitor, this exhibit features extraordinary postage stamps and postal history, making it another exceptional stamp exhibit from Exhibitors Press.
