Now there's a blast from my childhood past...these were really nicely designed stamps, and they fascinated me back in the day despite being CTO which, even then, I recognised...thank you!

I've been waiting for this video since you told me about it a while ago. These are some of my favorite GDR / DDR issues, along with the later 1970s / 80s definitives. I have some full CTO'd sheets of those. They're a bit unique as well as the DDR would issue them in small sizes and then slightly larger ones for some reason. I only have a page or so of the 5yp series, but it's very interesting seeing the changes for the collectors market. Despite them being mostly from the later runs, I really appreciate seeing the socialist development and achievements contained in such a small image when in later years stamps would grow to be much larger so they could obviously have more to them. It'd be reflected in a few other places that were allied with the USSR like Romania or Hungary. Another series you may be interested to look into are the "Arms of the Republic" from the DDR, they have a couple differences between issuing. The coat of arms / emblem of the DDR would be used on tons of stamps, namely anniversary of the republic or commemorative issuing. I have lots of fdc / covers with DDR stuff, it's just a neat area to collect. For the time being, I'm trying to dive into Warsaw Pact countries to go along with my USSR and DDR items. It's a fascinating theme to look into. Didn't expect a mention in the video, thank you very much. Keep up the good work. I'm unsure if this link will work, but cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/421366708914225152/945854850053308456/IMG_5842.jpg here's a partial sheet from Hungary showing flags of allied countries, sorta neat seeing the stamp having the different emblems on the changed flags (Romania for instance), Germany doesn't have it's emblem however.

When I was researching these stamps I had you in mind for the video, so I'm glad you managed to see it. I really enjoyed the study although I barely scratched the surface of this particular issue as there are so many different variations to collect and build up a complete picture of the 5YP. I'll check out the Arms of the Republic issues. The Warsaw Pact countries sound like an intriguing topic too. Your link does work, and the flag details are interesting to note. Thanks for watching and commenting

They're pretty cool that's for sure

[@serga76.bodrov]

excellent postage stamps I have some of them in my collection

[@coinsstampsandcollectibles3552]

Nice one, they're a great set to collect

[@rickwilmot9127]

It's an interesting series. I have them all in MNH condition. I collect Germany as well as most other European countries. I have just won the prize for my thematic entry at the stamp club. The theme was the paintings of the Leipzig Fair 1947-1950, also by Eric Gruner. Would be a nice series for you to put on here.

[@coinsstampsandcollectibles3552]

I'd have to look into those, I mainly collect Great Britain, GB Commonwealth and I've just started on North Borneo. 👍👍

[@pennyeap309]

I have few of these, some with same design but different denomination

[@coinsstampsandcollectibles3552]
