European Stamp Prices & News

Most stamp collectors like to focus on some certain area of history or geography. One person may collect stamps featuring birds; another may collect stamps issued in occupied territories; a third may concentrate on primarily blue stamps. There is no end to the permutations and concepts you can dream up.

For travel and culture enthusiasts, one interesting approach is to collect examples of every language ever used on postage stamps in a given country or area.

For example, in Albania, stamps have been issued over the decades in English, Albanian, Turkish, German, Greek (see picture) and Italian. Finding one of each of these can be great fun, and will teach you something about history as well.

Most European countries have a history interesting enough to make this stamp collecting angle viable and interesting. Furthermore, this concept is made even better by the use of different alphabets.

We will be listing the different languages available for a variety of European countries in the coming weeks. Subscribe to the Europe Stamps Blog feed to get this information automatically.
