Japan - Year of the Tiger card


The card shows 'Lucky tiger' I think. Very creative. The stamp is lotery stamp.
 


Thank you so much Magenta!

Canada - YoT card,


 

I have just noticed while uploading this pic that Canada post do not release Lunar new year stamp this year. What a pity. To me, Canada lunar new year stamps are one of the most beautiful ones. The sender used both YoT stamps 2010 for the card.


Thank you so much Marie65!

Aland - Lunar new year maxicards,


 

These three maxicards are from Aland. Year of the Rat 2020, Year of the Buffle 2021 and Year of the Tigre 2022. 


I am wondering the reason they use the cat instead of a tigre for this year. 





Thank you so much Mosshuula for these wonderful maxicards!

New Zealand - Year of the Tigre 2022


 This card arrived from New Zealand, The stamp in red color, the color of Tết (Lunar new year festival). 


Thank you so much Marice.


Taiwan - Year of the tigre maxicard,


 

This YoT maxicard arrived from Taiwan. The fron side is the first day postmark. The back side, the sender dropped the special postmark for the first day of 2022. In Taiwan, the calendar starts on 1945 so year 2022 is year 111. Hence Jan 1, 2022 has a special date of 111.1.1 postmark.


Thank you so much Chi!

Vietnam - Year of the Tigre 2022 issue

 


After more than a year, I continue updating on my blog. I come back with Year of the Tigre issue by Vietnam post.


The stamp set issued on first day of Dec 2021, designed by Mr Ng.Q.Vinh. As precedent years, I was in the philatelic bureau to get the stamp and took a quick meet with other collector friends. Unfortunatly, I came a pretty late so the designer, Mr Vinh, had left. So I had to demande another time to talk about the stamps and get his signature.


Here is the first day cover. I took totaly four pictorial postmarks. They are available in different cities in Vietnam (HoChiMinh city, Hanoi where I live, Khanh Hoa and Thua Thien Hue). In fact, there are 5 , including Kontum but there was no white place so four is enough. They are in couple. 



The designer, Mr. Q. Vinh have give me this gift : a brochure and a set of cards. Inside the brochure, Mr Vinh shows all information about the stampset. All drafts, the final design, step by step.
