My Collection: Winter Olympics

Another topical collection of mine. Contains all the Winter Olympic stamps issued by participating countries, plus many more other stamps with specific info and Olympians.

I also collect the Olympic Winter Games, but with the following modification: (1) only host and participating countries for most of the games; (2) Anything dealing with the 1932 and 1980 Olympic Winter Games since they were held in the area I live in; (3) machine slogan cancels dealing with all Olympics, Summer and Winter. Here are a few interesting items from my exhibit of the 1932 Lake Placid Stamps.

Wow! Pasha. Beautiful collection!

Pasha, nice collection. I haven't seen all the stamps as they are embedded in links. But you have a wonderful collection and thanks for sharing them for us.

Thank you! It has taken me several years to collect and about a couple of months to prepare for the virtual exhibition.

Glenn, interesting examples. Any covers/cancels with specific details of any contests in 1932 and 1980?

Nice collection............

I have a few bits and pieces of winter Olympic including Cortina 1956

Thanks. I actually do have this San Marinoan set, but I haven't included it into this collection, because San Marino didn't participate in 1956 Winter Olympics, and the stamps don't have any specific Olympic info on them, either. But your cards do look nice.
