Stamp Covers

Few days ago, I got the chance to view some of Jahfer Stamps' covers collection posted on his facebook. The stamps on the covers are simply interesting.

Jahfer is from India but has moved to Dubai for work. He started into this hobby 15 years ago and has been very fortunate to have honest trade partners and an access to a wider selection of stamps worldwide. He even exhibited his stamp collection when he was still on the 10th grade. How cool is that? He got more than 600 covers now on his collection. 

Since they're just too many, I have only selected 4 covers with really amusing details.

On this cover from Taiwan you probably first noticed this eye-catchy crab stamps. These stamps are actually one of the 4-stamp set issued by Chungwha Post last April 15, 2010. The stamps were issue to create an awareness on the existence and importance of Taiwan's marine life. 


















The crab on the stamp is a Scandarma lintou, an excellent tree climber. You may also find some crab stamps here: crab stamps.

This stamp cover from Brunie contains wild orchids stamps which is part of  Wild Orchids of Brunie Darussalam Series-2 issue on 2009.

Better-known for diverse culture and booming tourism, Tourism Malaysia has hailed 2007 as the Visit Malaysia Year 2007 with deals from Manchester United and Chelsea F.C. for promotion. On March 19, 2007, a 4-stamp set was issued to showcase Malaysia's beautiful landscapes, and colourful cultures.














Canada's stamps are always amazing! The definitive stamps features the following beneficial insects: the paper wasp (Polistes fuscatus), the assassin bug (Zelus luridus), the large milkweed bug (Oncopeltus fasciatus), the margined leatherwing (Chauliognathus marginatus) and the dogbane beetle (Chrysochus auratus). The stamps were issues on October 19, 2010.
