After the sunday holiday I am back here with new information and images for you. The first one is sent by Mr. Niket Bubna from Indore (M.P.) Well it is nice to receive information from different parts of India. it is the most talked about issue of Sai Baba which has become the favourite of philatelists in India because of the religious sentiments associated with this stamp. In the second part of this post some beautifully made postcards of Henan Province of China.The matter of significance is that each viewcard has imprinted stamp of the same design. As such items do not come across frequently. Our thanks to Mr. Shrikant Parikh of Ahmedabad & Mr. Mansoor B.of Mangalore for this Post. Have a good day !


Niket Bubna writes from Indore.......
With reference to the Shridi Sai Baba postage stamp issue, it is great to see so much anxiety being generated for an issue. I can only think of the Rajkumar Shukla (2000) postage stamp which had a similar demand. Contrary to views by various philatelists, I feel the lower print quantity is beneficial, giving Sai Baba his divine due.

See here the two images of Sai Baba issue. The first one, with a vague arrangement of the color code in the traffic signals. On observation, size variation in the bottom could also be seen. The second image being an error variety for the same.
