Fujeira 101 Dalmatians Stamp Set


Was dusting off the dust from some of my old stamp albums when I came across this set of stamps which I thought was a set of Cinderella stamps. The words Fujeira was printed at the bottom of each stamp and it featured scenes from the cartoon 101 Dalmatians. I had never heard of Fujeira before so I decided to do some Googling.

To my surpise, this was not a Cinderella stamp. Fujeira or Fujairah is actually one of seven states belonging to the UAE. This explained the somewhat Arabic prints on the bottom of the stamps which I could not make out too. I can't really recall how I landed my hands on this set of stamps but it is a set of MNH stamps cancelled out nicely in the year 1972. A total of 20 stamps, the market value of this stamp is around US$3 based on a quick check from eBay thought I am sure the actual value might be somewhat lesser since eBay prices are always sort of marked up by a fair bit of 10-30%.

Collecting Stamps and Collecting Domains

I have been collecting stamps for sometime and now I have just collected my first piece of internet real estate by owning my very own domain name. It can be found here at Singapore Stock Screener.

Guess that could be my new hobby on top of collecting stamps!

Started Soaking Lots of Stamps

After receiving the Miniature World update from the post office which depicts all the lovely stamps that were issued in the year of 2010, I finally got off my butt and started to soak some of the repeat stamps that I had in my possession which were taking up quite a bit of space.

The wife was angry that I used her hand towel to dry the stamps. The set of stamps were largely repeats from England Christmas series.

I am not too sure what I am going to do with them. Perhaps I will sell some of them on eBay for extra cash to buy new stamps.
