Good observation.
Wallis & Futuna is...Hi Mark<br /><br />Good observation.<br /><br />Wallis & Futuna is fairly typical in terms of the number of stamps produced..that is other French colonies likewise produced this number. But, yes, no doubt the majority of stamps were collector driven.<br /><br />"Used" is a bit more valuable CV wise than "unused" for most W & F stamps. But, considering how few were legitimately postally used, one would expect that "used" would have a much higher CV. Probably, this reflects collectors greater desire, in general, for unused.<br /><br />The saving grace for French colony stamps (compared to British colony) is they tend to be much reasonally priced CV wise.Jimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02024632082262694589noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6190925726844102948.post-56314103957857811992017-01-18T09:20:45.972-08:002017-01-18T09:20:45.972-08:00Hi Jim.

Given the small population and incredible number of classical issues for Wallis & Futuna, can I assume most of these French colony stamps were collector driven?<br /><br />I would've expected islands this small would've been a "two line" country rather than "four pages". :)<br /><br />Mark Madbakerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10206921216996463967noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6190925726844102948.post-21017869384368943722017-01-17T12:22:00.573-08:002017-01-17T12:22:00.573-08:00Hi Catalin
