Stamp collectors, here’s a neat piece of history – a complete 1956 set from Berlin (West). This collection includes all 25 stamps issued that year (Michel numbers 135-158, including varieties 140x and y). They’re in superb MNH (mint never hinged) condition, meaning they’ve never been mounted or used.
Berlin issued its own stamps from 1948 to 1990, making this a self-contained collection that’s interesting both historically and philatelically. The designs are often similar to West German stamps but bear the “Berlin” country name.
Catalog values have risen since their original issue price, so this set can be a good investment as well as a display piece. Whether you collect German areas, Cold War era stamps, or just appreciate complete yearly sets, this is a quality addition to your album. A genuine bargain for the condition and completeness.
