Looking for RECENT used Europa (CEPT) stamps to swap

[Canada stamper]

I am looking for used Europa stamps from the last 5 years from many countries.

In exchange, I can send a cover franked with a Canada souvenir sheet from the Art series (or other recent stamps if you prefer), with some recent used Canada or Japan commens enclosed depending on how many stamps you can offer.

If there is any interest, I can upload pics of the souvenir sheets I have available.

I am flexible so if you have a suggestion, let's discuss!

I'm not sure there are a lot of collectors of Europa stamps here, but there seem to be many international members, so hopefully someone can help me and get some nice stamps in return.

[Canada stamper]

In case folks are not familiar with Europa issues, I thought I would post a few pics. Stamps (usually 1-4 in number) are issued by member countries every year according to the Theme for that year, usually in the spring, although some countries issue later in the year.

Here are the Europa stamps issued in the last 3 years by Great Britain:

2009 (Theme Astronomy):

2010 (Theme Children's Books):

2011 (Theme Forests):

Only the 1st rate stamp in the souvenir sheets is a Europa issue.

[Canada stamper]

Here are some from Sweden that I need:

2007 (Scouting):


2008 (Letter Writing):


2009 (Astronomy):


2010 (Children's Books):


2011 (Forests):

[Canada stamper]

I've been busy with work and other non-stamp stuff, but here are some more pictures. These are Switzerland issues that I need (used). If anybody can help me with filling these or other spots in my used Europa collection, I will be happy to send a cover with a used Canada Art souvenir sheet, and/or trade other stamps that you desire.

2009

Note the location on the map of the asteroid Helvetia!

Hi, I have the 2010 and 2011 mint sets but I need your email to arrange an exchange.

[Canada stamper]

If you can help, please let me know. In exchange I can offer used Canada, Japan, Germany, China (Imperial and ROC), or recent MNH Canada. Plus I have odds and ends that I don't collect that I'd be happy to trade. Will do my best to make a trade!

[Canada stamper]

Nice Europa 2010 cover from nasia arrived yesterday:



Thanks very much!

I always have the dilemma of whether to keep the cover intact or soak the stamp off for my album. Keeping the cover for now...

[Timbres]

Jean,

Did you happen to see the Europa Irish PO mini sheets I posted for sale? http://www.stampboards.com/viewtopic.php?f=27&t=33878

Would these be of any interest to you?

Tim

[Canada stamper]

Hi Tim,
Thanks but I only collect used Europa and I mainly need the more recent issues. Thanks though!
Jean

[Canada stamper]

Another nice cover from Cyprus arrived yesterday, with Europa 2011 (Forests) set:



Thanks Nasia!

[Canada stamper]

A wonderful cover from pitronix came last week:



With some goodies inside:





Thanks very much!!

Hi Canada stamper,
I am collecting Europa First Day Covers and I was wondering where I could look to see which ones I am missing.
Is there somwhere I can see a full list of which countries issued Europa stamps in which years?

Hi Nick,

Welcome to SB!

For recent Europa issues, this blog is a great resource: http://europa-stamps.blogspot.com/

He keeps it updated with pictures of all the new issues, plus there are links on the side if you scroll down, to all the issues from previous years back to 2007.

You can also check the PostEruop site: http://www.posteurop.org/index.jsp?nodeId=12517&isoCode=en which has issues back to 2001.

Also you can find all the issues in the Michel catalogue for Europa issues.

Jean

[nicknickn]

That was very helpful, Thank you.

[Canada stamper]

Here are some recent Norway Europa issues I'm hoping someone can help with for my used collection:

2009 (Astronomy)



2010 (Children's Books)



2011 (Forests)



I really love that Astronomy minisheet!

[Canada stamper]

Some of the 2012 issues have started to come out. This year's theme is "Visit..." - very similar to the theme for 2004 (Holidays).

January issues:

Jersey


Sweden


And coming up next week, Belgium:

Hello,

year 2011 is still available on the post office so I can get them. Year 2007 I don't have
So I can send you 2011 and 2012 on the envelope.
I collect worldwide - my goal is to have from each country on the world at least one stamp. So if you could help by my goal I would be happy.
Right now I am looking for stamps from Jamajca, Belize, Barbados, Martinique, a lot of african and asian countries, from Europe I would need Andorra, ex USSR countries, Cyprus and Lichtenstein.
If you don't have any stamp from these countries, send me some nice comm. stamp from your country.
Please send me your address on e-mail and we can arrange the details ...

Here are some used Europa stamps I got in a recent trade.



From left to right:
top row: GB and Switzerland 2010 (Children's Books), Germany and Luxembourg 2011 (Forests)
bottom row: Azores, Madeira, and Kazahkstan 2008 (Letter writing)









There are close-ups of the GB and Swiss stamps if you scroll up in this thread.

[nicknickn]

This is probably an odd newbie question but, why are most of the Europa first day covers that you see (even very old ones) on unaddressed envelopes, whereas most other FDCs (certainly British and Irish ones) have addresses?

[Canada stamper]

nicknickn, I don't collect FDCs, so can't answer your question. Maybe someone else can chip in.

Here are the Latvia issues for 2012, very beautiful:

[Canada stamper]

Here are a couple of covers I've received from Delcampe sellers recently:



Italy 2011 (Forests)


and from Belgium:


Belgium issued a souvenir sheet in 2009 (Astronomy):

[Canada stamper]

Some Malta Europa:



Love the dragonfly!

[Canada stamper]

I was looking through the 2011 issues (Forests) and found the Finland issue particularly striking:



Also like the Ukraine and Vatican issues that year:





I need all these (used) for my collection, if anyone can help it would be much appreciated. If you don't collect Canada, I can offer other countries for trade - let me know what you're looking for!

Hi Matt!

It would be great if you could help me with these - and let me know what I can send you in exchange.

[HalfpennyYellow]

All of Malta's issues from 2002 are available here, but they are in mint condition (unless you buy FDCs and soak them off):

http://www.maltaphilately.com/en/Issues/All/Page1

I don't have any of Malta's Europa stamps that you want (although I just used up my last 2011 37c for postage ). Since they are not local rates (I don't know what €1.19 is for - the closest I can find is €1.16) I don't get them on mail but if I will keep an eye out for them. If you want I can send you a cover with this year's Europa stamps when they're issued.

Edit: I have the 2007 16ċ/€0.37 Scouts used. Let me know if you want it.

Hi Ruben,

I can send you some 2007 Canada stamps used, but I'm not sure what exactly you mean by

the booklet in new,appart animals,birds and butterflies of canada,recently

- can you give more details or maybe pictures of what you want?

There is no rush anyway, as by the rules of Stampboards you have to be a member for 20 days and have at least 20 posts in order to trade. So, have fun browsing and participating in the forums for a while longer and when you are ready we can swap.

Hi Matt,

Thanks for the link, but I'm trying to get the stamps postally used where possible. I already have the 2007 set, thanks. Thanks for the offer of sending a cover with the 2012 stamps, I'll post here as soon as I get any details about the issue date.

Appreciate the help.
