No search results for Soviet Zone of Germany. Do you mean the Russian zone ?

Is this an inherent problem if everything is under 1 country, or is it because the combination of filters and expressions are not (yet) possible?

It would indeed be nice if you could apply a multi selection to a certain filter (stamps and blocks, everything except personal stamps, etc., values 10, 10.00 and 10.00, etc.).

Raoul62 Jul stamps are closing stamps.

Thanks for the explanation. Do they even belong in the Stamps section?

How can a stamp collector from the Netherlands filter out the city and regional mail and the personal stamps in an overview of a certain year?

And don't answer 'click and scroll'! I can already hear you coming :)
How do you see 'easily filterable'?

Isn't it now well under the Netherlands? And everything is easily filterable.

aha, I'm going to learn!

Please explain to me briefly:
How can a stamp collector from the Netherlands filter out the city and regional mail and the personal stamps in an overview of a certain year?
He must click on 'All' or the booklets, postage stamps, sheets, FDCs and Maximum cards will not be shown.

Try to explain it for, for example, the Netherlands 2010-2010.
How do I find the 400 items (10 pages to go through) that interest me as a stamp collector among the 1,400 items (24 pages to go through).

Breaking it down seems like an enormous task to me, but that was not exactly my approach. I would like to have the option to add a second type in addition to health as Medicine and Pharmacy. These can then be used for new additions to the catalogues. These could then be added manually by users to the existing health books.
In addition to health, a study book or science could also be chosen as an additional type of input, but these are also not very specific.
I look forward to your decision

#10333425 actually belongs in the Magazines section. Some individual episodes of De Kinderwereld have already been entered there.

Voor 't Jonge Volkje actually also belongs in that section, but you will never come across individual magazines from that issue, only collections. They have been in Books since 2012, when there was no Magazines section yet. They get moved sometimes, I suspect.

By merging per country you also undermine manageability - If someone now enters a Jul stamp with postage, you will see it immediately when opening the relevant section - This will then be set to standard instead of everything - Everything will soon be under the relevant country and in the text does not contain a Jul seal, you will never find the item - The same applies to the cinderellas - If everyone agrees with this, then this is more in favor of splitting up rather than merging.

First let's understand what a Jul seal actually is. Is that comparable to the Dutch Christmas stamp, which allows you to send Christmas mail at a reduced rate around the Christmas period?

No, they are not stamps that you could use to send mail.
You could decorate your correspondence with them, and in the Scandinavian countries they could also be stuck on the front, in addition to the valid postage.

Jul stamps are closing stamps.
They were made (starting in 1904 in Denmark) and sold to support tuberculosis control. To raise funds for a good cause. Other Scandinavian countries and the rest of the world quickly followed suit.
Such as the Christmas stamps from, for example, Canada that you can find in the Closing Stamps section ( #7641305 ) and, for example, this one from the Netherlands #2676193 .

A clear agreement has been made that for the Scandinavian countries these will be included in the Stamp section, and not in the Seal section.
Because:
1. this could also be affixed on the front next to the postage on correspondence (other seals were only allowed on the back, at least in principle);
2. the Jul stamp collecting phenomenon is very strongly linked to stamp collecting. For example, several pre-print albums make (and sell) pre-print sheets for them. What you do not have for, for example, the TBC stamps of the Netherlands or Canada.
They are usually issued around the Christmas period (people are milder then. The Christmas spirit opens up their wallets more easily).

You can provide specific information about the book you entered in the Details box of the corresponding item.

General information about 'for the young people' can be included in a background page of the series 'Bundlings for the young people' that is yet to be created.

[edit]
Under 'The children's world' you can provide general information about the series 'Bundlings The children's world'.

The German City and Regional Post can mainly be found under Germany - Local Postal Areas.

This is a separate area Helv and has nothing to do with the current city and regional post. This area Germany - Local postal areas was abolished in 1946


The German city and regional post is under Germany - City and regional post (287)


For the Netherlands, about a quarter of all stamps (>7000) are now city and regional mail and it seems to be becoming clearer to split this up.

To split into Helv ?. Isn't it now well under the Netherlands? And everything is easily filterable.

Or do you also want to split the Personal stamp (7,653) . Everything is listed under the Netherlands and everything is easy to find. And in the Netherlands everything is mixed up, as some claim?. Not in my opinion.

Jul stamps are HOT on LD.
If you want to destroy the attraction (by merging it with the land), the conversion will also stop. That's marketing in its purest form.

Just to gauge general opinion:
In 1948, a series of stamps featuring famous people was issued in the Soviet Zone of Germany. These stamps have a watermark "Cruciflowers".

The same series was republished in the GDR in 1952. These stamps have the watermark "DDR & posthoorn".

Is it useful or not to combine these stamps into 1 issuing group?

NB: four stamps + series do not belong in the 1952 issue. Something went wrong with the adjustment of the original CAR name.

Indeed. Cinderella had been relegated to a 'trash bin' term worldwide by LD. And those are not (real) cinderellas. Not even Jul seals at all. Also not sealing stamps at all.
These are always very large, important collection areas in which there is great interest. There has been a bit of a change by naming things correctly. And certainly not to mix them with another major collection area: that of (postage) stamps.
It would still be best to place (real) Cinderellas and Jul seals where they should be found. at Closing Stamps.
But a decision was made differently at some point, and we will stick to that decision as long as we have to. It cannot be the intention to constantly swing from one thing to the other. Without stability, and without clearly defined collecting areas, you won't attract many collectors.
Neatly defined also applies to Savings Stamps (stamps from Seca or Albert Hein), Perfins (ex-postage stamps that were provided with special perforations that had a meaning and purpose) and Fiscal stamps (which in principle are not intended to to send mail).

A collector wants clarity: agreements that are made and that everyone adheres to for a sufficiently long period. If you see something swinging from left to right and from top to bottom, you think of someone with a drinking problem. You stay away from that.

If a collector wants to manage his Denmark stamps, he mainly wants to be able to find stamps in the 'Denmark' area. not the occasional stamp on a page. That's where a collector drops out.
Because of certain types, a collector must click on 'All' (sheets, FDCs, Maximum cards, Postage stamps, booklets).
For example, there are 48 items in Denmark for 1977. For Denmark - Jul stamps there are now 86 (and over time it will become several hundred).
For 1979 that ratio is already 64 - 140.
Could there be a new competition: find the non-Jul stamps.

If a Cinderella collector from Belgium wants to manage his collection(s) of Cinderellas, he or she wants to be able to choose his collection area from the list. And don't end up in an area where you can occasionally find an NA, an errinophilia or a private issue item. Scrolitis (and clickitis) has no need for that. Those species were once asked to be added, but due to their non-occurrence in the NVPH (I can't find any other reason) this was not done. After which there was of course pressure on 'Blauwdruk', which meant that it no longer exists separately (but was merged with Zwartdruk).
Consequence? There is no turnover/competition for Cinderella's from Belgium on LD.
For those things you can only go 'to someone else'.
I have never had to put errinophilia, private issues and NAs in my shopping cart here. It is what it is.

Should I start signing now?
Raoul - a collector?
;)

Okay, my bad for bringing up Jul stamps nlae . The message is indeed about the other cinderellas. And to use the cinderella usage type for this.

Separated by the usage types of franking and July stamps and possibly cinderellas. Hence my example of the City and Regional Post usage type. Everything under one country, so easy to find for a collector.
The German City and Regional Post can mainly be found under Germany - Local Postal Areas.
This concerns very large numbers, something like 6000 items.
For the Netherlands, about a quarter of all stamps (>7,000) are now city and regional mail and it seems to be becoming clearer to split this up.

However, these are very large numbers.

In addition to what stripspeldjes writes: If a stamp were actually a mirror image, the text would be (almost) illegible.

No - Must be the mirror image
Sorry, but that's nonsense. They are completely identical stamps, printed in different orientation (not mirrored but rotated 180º). If you tear them apart you can't tell them apart.

Sometimes I think you're just against it because someone else is in favor
The counterpart of this comment is "Being right is more important than being right"

I agree 100 percent with Raoul62 - A large majority at the time too - All administrators too - Wasn't happy with the appointment of Cinderella but that has changed with Jul stamps - Why suddenly reverse everything?

The items remain in the collection/shop/search list, right?
All that happens is that the item is not a se-tenant.
Are messages always sent to all users in the stamps section if something is changed to an item? In case of a significant change, send such a message, for example if in this case Series (2nd image) would be removed.
Anyway, I am not a PM administrator, but I can send a message to the relevant users. Could you please give me the text?

I believe that the 'real' collector is one step higher than you

What you believe, and which rung I'm on fazerco , may make a world of difference. But I think they can be included too. I only see advantages and a clearer catalogue.

I just leave them there

It might be best to read the manual again. The general manual, and the stamp manual.
Rarara, what is wrong with the item?
