Hungarian (Magyar) Stamps

OK every time I trade stamps or buy international stamps I always recieve alot of Hungarian stamps, which are very nice by the way. My question is, do the Hungarians just product more stamps the other countries?

No. For most Hungarian stamps the print numbers are somewhat low.

But I think you are seeing mostly CTO-used stamps from the 1960/70/80's. These are very common stuff as most stamps went pretty straight from printer to stamp collectors markets; meaning there are at least few million CTO-used copies of each stamp floating around (as real used these are much harder).

Also the fact that Hungary had one of the "most professional" organizations for approval and packet making worldwide contributes to good survival rate of Hungarian stamps.

In that case, do the Poles do the same thing?

Poland did issue plenty of CTO-used stuff for collectors from 1950s up to 1990s, but real used stamps are also somewhat easy to find (as Poland is one of the largest nationalities in Europe).

CTOs from the iron curtain countries tend to dominate the supply in the US market. Please be aware that for most of those countries, the used Scott catalog prices for the 1960s-1970s are for CTOs, not for genuine postally used (usually sell for more than CTOs). If you check the Scott catalog carefully for those countries, there is a lined footnote that will tell you from when to when the catalog prices apply to CTOs.
