To coincide with the release of the artistamp sets mentioned in earlier posts, I have released 3 FDCs to complement the stamp releases. These are seen below.

As far as I know the Iraq post office has never released any Christmas stamps since its existence. I took the opportunity of this occasion to commemorate a very significant award on the 25th of November 2007, when Pope Benedict XVI ordained Patriarch Emmanuel III Delly as the head of the Chaldean Church in Iraq and […]

On the 16th of December 2006, British troops transferred control of Basra province to the Iraqi authorities, four-and-a-half years after the invasion. The handover marked a significant milestone towards Britain’s final withdrawal from southern Iraq.
In a ceremony at Basra airport, British and Iraqi representatives signed a memorandum of understanding to formalise the handover.  The 4,500 […]

On the 6th of January 2008, Iraq will celebrate the anniversary of the Iraqi Army. This event used to be celebrated each year with a new set of stamps. I wonder if the Iraqi Post Office will release any stamps about this topic, anyhow I decided to create such a set.
The Iraqi Army is strengthening […]

In my hurry to release the Ashura set I made a couple of spelling errors which I have now corrected and re-released the set. The original stamps had the Arabic spelling for Ashura wrong. Also the word Dinar in Arabic was grammatically wrong. The picture below shows the correct stamps. If you would like the […]

I have seen this stamp before on eBay, it is obvious it will never sell because there is no certificate with it, no one has seen it or heard about it before, and it has a ridiculous price, but anyway I have a larger scan of this stamp which is on sale at the moment […]

Ok these are no mine so please don’t ask if I have them for sale.
 I found these on eBay, they are nice and interesting, the original stamps had Military occupation of San Dinero, now San Dinero is just a non existent country in South America. In the ones below, the words San dinero are overprinted with the word […]

I noticed an increase in the scams that are the colour variation “errors” and the missing parts of stamps “errors” on Iraqi stamps being sold on eBay for a lot of money. In case you  have not read past posts that I wrote about these, these are not errors.
These imperfections are added or created by […]

I covered these stamps before here, they are on sale again on eBay but interestingly this time the advert mentions that they are local stamps, meaning people in Basra use or used this before, THIS IS NOT TRUE, these are just artistamps and not postage or local stamps.
