Russia 1926: Wow, Talking About Multiples On One Cover!

Described as Kazan (Tatarstan) to Baku (Azerbaijan) parcel card.

A record of the most stamps of one type on a piece ???

Interesting piece, BeeSee, thanks for showing! And it is not even from the inflation period, when large multiples on cover were more frequent. The date of use is 1926.

The description of the seller describes it as a COD parcel card, but I am not sure whether we are talking about a single item or several (see the itemized list in the second scan). Moreover, it is interesting that the form (and presumably the items) were dispatched from Kazan, Tatarstan in December 1925, but all the stamps are cancelled in Baku, Azerbaijan on January 10th, 1926.Total franking: 147,26 rubles!

I correct the title to 1926, my bad.

Anyone know how many U.S. dollars all those rubles equal in 1926?

That is a fantastic cover alright.

If it was in my collection, I would be at odds how to mount and display it in an album. Most likely I would have to use one of those mint sheet albums.

If I have read the German Wiki correctly, 2 roubles were about 1 US$, so the amount in $ would have been more or less 75.
