We are pleased to report some interesting discoveries regarding issues from the Czech Republic, where a type variation of the Komenský stamp, MiNo. 283, is circulating without a nominal value. Apparently the geese on MiNo. 1006 have enjoyed a bit too much wine, so that we have now been able to include them in our catalogue as an upside-down reverse-print pair. We have included information on the current postage prices of Slovakian and Czech issues and expanded our list of personalized decorative fields of Hungarian stamps. Regarding Czechoslovakia, we have supplemented biographical data.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe reviewing and updating of price quotations was another focal point. In the collection area of Slovakia there have been many small price increases for so-called mass-produced issues, while first-day covers have enjoyed more significant increases in value. The demand for perforation variations of stamps issued by the Slovak State (1939-1945) seems to continue, as various price increases show. Many issue s from the Czech Republic – not only interesting motifs but also, more noticeably, stamp booklets – have also seen increases in value. In regards to issues from Czechoslovakia, we have primarily reviewed the price quotations for the years 1945-1960, and concerning Hungarian issues, we have updated the appraisals of tariff-coded stamps.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis edition features all novelties presented in MICHEL Rundschau up to and including No. 2\/2026.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSpecifications:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eEdition: 11th\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePages: 900\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eLanguage: German\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eDimensions: 155mm x 230mm\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFormat: Hardcover\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFirst Day of Sale: March 6, 2026\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003ePlease Note: All MICHEL Philatelic Catalogs are written in German unless otherwise noted. \u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Other","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48785509744883,"sku":"M-CEUR","price":159.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0787\/9750\/4755\/files\/Mitteleuropa_1.png?v=1786631106"},{"product_id":"michel-philatelic-catalog-germany-covers-1849-1945-volume-1","title":"MICHEL Philatelic Catalog: Germany Covers 1849-1945 (Briefe Deutschland) (Vol. 1)","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eContent:\u003c\/strong\u003e Cover valuation for the areas Old German States, North German Confederation, German Empire, Local Issues of 1923, Foreign Post Offices, Colonies and Ship Post Abroad, Occupation Issues of World War I, Plebiscite areas, Belgian military mail in Rhineland, Eupen and Malmédy, Gdansk, Memel, Bohemia and Moravia, General Government, Sudetenland, Occupation Issues of World War II, Field Post Stamps\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eMICHEL Description: \u003c\/strong\u003eDetailed cataloguing of German covers from 1849 to April 1945, featuring comprehensive information on pre-philatelic postmarks across old German territories.

Regarding Canadian issues, for instance, the cataloging of stamp booklets was adjusted and standardized, so that collectors will now find the desired information much easier. And we thoroughly reviewed the appraisals of stamps issued in the United States and updated them in line with market conditions. In order to meet the increased demand for good-quality stamps, we have now started to quote prices for issues in mint condition as of 1918. Until now this only applied to stamps from 1930 onward. It’s safe to say that, due to an increased awareness of quality – based on the principle that “quality sells” – particularly classic stamps in good condition are now in demand.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn the collection area of contemporary stamps, we have adjusted price quotations primarily for roll stamps and issues that feature a “Love” motif. In particular, the “Forever” issues, i.e. postage stamps for domestic letters in the 1st weight category, which are still valid even after an increase in postage fees, have shown an increase in value. This is due to the fact that their postage value has nearly doubled from the initial cost of 44 U.S. cents. Moreover, this collection area has also undergone a number of editorial improvements, such as cross-references to the place of discovery of each booklet stamp that have been added to the corresponding footnotes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAll novelties that came to our attention prior to the editorial deadline are presented in this edition, allowing issues up to 2025 to be included.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSpecifications:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eEdition: 44th\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePages: 858\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eLanguage: German\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eDimensions: 155mm x 230mm\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFormat: Hardcover\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFirst Day of Sale: September 5, 2025\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003ePlease Note: All MICHEL Philatelic Catalogs are written in German unless otherwise noted.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Other","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48785854234867,"sku":"M-NAMERICA","price":219.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0787\/9750\/4755\/files\/Nordamerika1.png?v=1786631047"},{"product_id":"michel-philatelic-catalog-northern-arabia","title":"MICHEL Philatelic Catalog: Northern Arabia \u0026 Iran (Nordarabien und Iran)","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCountries\/Regions:\u003c\/strong\u003e Iraq, Iran, Israel, Jordan, Lebanon, Palestine, Syria\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eMICHEL Description: \u003c\/strong\u003eThe MICHEL price quotations have been revised and updated in all collection areas!

The flaw may occur as early as during the manufacturing of a printing plate for postage stamps, but more often it will occur during the printing process itself. The reasons are wear and tear or any damage to the printing plate. Therefore, a concentration of plate flaws in a particular production period might also let you draw conclusions about the general economic conditions under which these issues were printed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith this in mind, it is not surprising that plate flaws are more prevalent in certain periods while being rare at other times.
