Yet another BIG SUPRISE from China. Thanks my friend Xu Wei for the beautiful postcards u send me. As agreed, Xu Wei was supposed to send me only a special postcard from the Collector Fair Prague 2009 but to my suprise my friend was so generous to send me a set of Beijing Olympic postcards with preprinted stamps. I just cant thank u enough. They were always in my want list and its truly a great joy to received them from u.

Beautiful Suprises From Italy

Christian Cover

Thanks Matteo for this very beautiful Christian cover. This is a really good example of thematic covers. However, it would have been even better if the cover was hand canceled. For cover collectors, hand cancellation is a very important element we focused on. Nway, its still a great cover 4 me and will certainly b in my Christian cover collection.

Postcard From Finland

Thanks Sari for this very beautiful Olympic postcard. Love it alot but too bad the stamp was canceled by ball pen. I guess life isnt fair after all. LOL. Nway, still love the postcard alot.

The postcard depicts the tower of Helsinki OLympic Stadium. 1952 Summer Olympic Games was held in the Stadium that was inaugurated in 1938. The tower of the stadium, a distinct landmark with a height of 72 metres (240 ft), is open for visitors and offers impressive views over Helsinki.

Besides tat, the stadium was also the venue for the first World Athletics Championships in 1983 as well as for the 2005 World Championships in Athletics.

PS: Thanks Sari and looking forward for more friendly exchanges with u.
