Collectibles from my Friends (part 1)

Yesterday I went to the Post office to pick up and item from my friend in Manila who sells stamps for lot. I brought my ID with me as the Postmaster requires. Sometimes I don't like their Postmaster in our Post office, because few weeks ago I asked for new released stamps, and he won't give me what I asked. And I think to myself "Does buying stamps from the post office requires age limit?". Of course I am part of this generation's collectors and, he won't give me stamps for my collection. Well, I didn't force him but I left. So, let's go back to the topic. A friend of mine sells bunch of stamps. He has an online store where you can choose various items like stamps, coins, and banknotes. I chose to buy his stamps, for lot. I sent him message of inquiry last week. We had a smooth deal. But I didn't expect to receive the items week after the transaction (grr!). But no worries I still got the right items, plus, he gave me extra stamps and a couple of Foreign Banknotes! They are right, my other friends bought something from him and he also give them extra item as a gift. I was very thankful for him. 

The stamp collection was sold by lot. I bought these for only P100.oo excluding the Shipping Fee. 

I collected stamps from:

  1. Japan
  2. Portugal
  3. Denmark
  4. Slovenia
  5. Germany
  6. Australia
  7. Rome
  8. Spain
  9. Italy
  10. Ireland
  11. Pakistan
  12. State of Kuwait
  13. India
  14. Saudi Arabia
  15. State of Bahrain
  16. Republic of Iraq
  17. Colombia
  18. Czechoslovakia 
  19. Nigeria
  20. Ghana
  21. Netherlands 
  22. Great Britain (United Kingdom)
  23. Hong Kong
  24. Bahamas
  25. United States of America
  26. Magyar





The unopened envelop containing the collection. 

 These are the banknotes that my friend gave me. 
500000 Dinara (Yugoslavia)
500 Reils (Cambodia)

I wasn't expecting that my friend included Queen Elizabeth II Stamps! I was really surprised. It also include stamps from different lands of Europe. I already compiled this in my stamp album.



I also received stamps coming from the Land of the Rising Sun, Japan! I was looking at the stamps with the word "Nippon", then I said "Oh yes, Japan!". It's kinda small but I appreciate its rarity, story, and value. I already compiled this in my stamp album while others are still on my side ready for compilation.
