All for now, time for fireworks... :twisted:

Some large ones from 1935 всемирная спартакиадаб, 2 running, a swimmer, rowing and skiing.

Appraisal after the summer, a bit overwhelming, kept in a dry basement for years, so they are in good shape
I see you've done your homework :lol: So, how much do you want for them?Quote:

I'll get a better scanned image later, with some other examples. I'm not using the computer with scanner and graphics toys now. I need to clean up the file, I just tossed a few on the scanner bed.
Cool! You can still scan and post the mounted ones...
OK, take 3...

Not centered, or in any particular order. I didn't want to destroy the stamps. Sorry Bellorus and Ukraine, the stamps are stuck together, a local collector will help make them free.
