International Stamp Collection Album (Mixed Countries and Eras)

This item is a stamp collection album containing a diverse assortment of postage stamps from various countries including Bulgaria, Mongolia, Israel, and the USSR, among others. The album itself appears to be a standard philatelic album with a red spine and light gray pages, likely constructed from cardstock or heavy paper with clear acetate or glassine strips used to hold the stamps in place. The stamps within the album vary in size, color, and temática, indicating a broad collecting scope. Physical characteristics include a mix of perforations and printing techniques. Notable features include stamps commemorating sports (e.g., rowing in the Bulgarian stamp with '20-10 БЪЛГАРИЯ' visible, likely relating to the Olympics), scientific achievements (e.g., a Mongolian stamp featuring a rocket with 'МОНГОЛ ШУУДАН', and another USSR stamp depicting a satellite or planetary probe 'ЛУНА'), and general national themes. There are also stamps with 'ישראל' (Israel) clearly visible, one with a '30' denomination, and another featuring Cyrillic text 'ПОЧТА CCCP' (USSR Post) and '1963'. Some stamps show signs of cancellation, while others appear to be unused. Condition issues are visible, such as some stamps being slightly askew or showing minor wear consistent with handling and age. The album pages themselves show some light discoloration or creasing. There are no clear visible manufacturing marks on the album or individual stamps, though the 국가 and year of issue are often printed on the stamps themselves. The collection spans various periods, with specific dates like 1963 noted on at least one USSR stamp, suggesting an estimated age from the mid-20th century onwards. The quality of craftsmanship varies among the stamps, reflecting different national printing standards at the time of their issue. The arrangement of stamps on the page is somewhat haphazard, indicating a personal collection rather than a meticulously organized display.
