2018 continue II:

13-2018 "World Champ Football":

As we know, this World Cup was held in Russia, despite many obstacles it was one real show of sport and organization was just perfect!
Serbia, made this postage stamp in "nice" way. I can say just "nice" because artist have some "new way" idea in making design. Composing Russian achievement in cosmos with football competition is little bit challenge, so, design come in just "nice" way!
Two stamps in set and one miniature sheet come to the market on June 14, 2018, with face value in very affordable scale. 5.13 US$ per set and m/s is really low as can be.





14-2018 "Children's Stamp" - Baby Zoo:

This issues come in every year, and this is one that will, probably, continue in the future, even that I don't like it, because here we have clear intention just to take some money, for product, that we really don't need. "Children's Stamp" in name, hardly that Serbia children will benefit from this!
On postage stamps, four in set, we can see "children's" of animal in Belgrade Zoo, wolf, goat, mare and swan. Set of four have lowest possible face value, and on market will be available around 1.70-1.90 US$. On market arrived on June 19, 2018.



15-2018 "Science":

What we have here, are portrait of scientist that are important for Serbia and world. Four stamps in set, set that is well designed in booklet format.
Persons on stamp are: Stevan Boskovic (1868-1957), Mihailo Petrovic Alas (1868-1943), Antal Koch (1843-1927) and Vladimir D. Laskarev (1868-1954).
Booklet come to the market on July 10, 2018, and on market, You will find it for around 4.76 US$.




16-2018 "Tourism":

really nice issue, tourism and nature shown from Kopaonik Nature Reserve, with typical Serbian house on it. Design well made and face value minimum, but market will ask for around half dollar per this single stamp. CM are worth to have.




17-2018 "Ljubichevo Game":

Again one "modern" design, for stamp that are here, just to remember this Ljubichevo region and game that are held there every year.
Nice for collectors of HORSE on stamp, but nothing more than that!
One stamp alone, minimal value, and hardly that it will reach some market value more than dollar per stamp.
On market at Aug. 31, 2018.


18-2018 "Monastery and Fresque":

This one issue are really art! very balanced design,color composition just perfect, and celebrating 600 years of Monastery Manasija! Yes, You see it correct, it is 600 (six hundreds) years back, when Serbian people made this monastery, today named Manasija, and also Resava Monastery. Endowment of Despot Stefan Lazarevic (Serbian ruler), the son of Duke Lazar and Duchess Milica, the knight of the Order of the Dragon. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Order_of_the_Dragon).
Issued on Sept. 14, 2018, single stamp that is worth to have.
Minimal face value for stamps, but on market will be somewhere on half dollar, and for FDC and CM You will need to prepare more than 6.00 US$.



19-2018 "Joint Issue Serbia-India":

Great 70 years pass in this contact between Serbia and India, and design go for two great scientist, I can say, mostly important scientist for human race! It is Nikola Tesla, and Swami Vivekananda.
Design just perfect, and printing sheet composition even better made.
On market come at Sept. 15, 2018, with affordable face value. How much it will cost on market I really don't know, but I'm sure, not less than 2.50 US$ per set of 2, and if You wish also sheetlet format with gutter on middle, You will need very high of some 35.00 US$ per sheetlet!


20-2018 "Joy of Europe":

For me, it is strange that Serbia continue with this topic, to celebrating Children's Week, with happening that give importance to our children and education.
So, shortly: single stamp, "middle" face value, no significance on Philatelic market.
Issued on Sept. 28, 2018.



21-2018 "Stamp Day":

I will suggest, to Serbian Post, to stop with this issues, and if to continue, to continue just once in 5 year period, because we see that all idea for design are gone. This time we see in design radiogram, and team that operate it (on FDC), but overall design are lost!
On market Oct. 2, 2018, minimal face value, hardly that will reach half dollar on market!


22-2018 "Christmas":

Here we have two stamps in set, as usually, design from religion, fresque from Sopocany Monastery, which come back to 13th century!
When I thinking little bit about this fact as 13th century monastery, or 600-700 years back, that SERBIAN people made, and build, I come to conclusion  that it is one very-very old CIVILIZATION in question, it is not some "new" Republics for "new" nationality (to mention, that "new" can be applied" for all less than 80 years existence) - civilization, that, from history, all west powers wanted to destroy. Ottomans, West, and sometime east just attack this very advanced CIVILIZATION, that left behind many "educated" countries.
Two stamp in set, Oct. 10, 2018, well made. Keep it in Your collection, it is worth this 2.36 US$ on market, for set!
