Hundreds Of Minisheets Since 2010 From Africa (Guinea, Togo, Niger, .)

I see a lot of the wallpaper from independent Africa. If I could get a pallet (well maybe not that many sheets) they actually would look interesting as actual wallpaper in a room. The ss are about 5 inches square, my room has 210 square feet of wall space divided by 6 per sq foot. I could use about 1260 of them. Now, what topic to show??
Flowers would be nice. Nature scenes. No, I don't want 1260 pictures of trains or race cars or sports. Not interested in animals for wallpaper. My kids and grandkids are too old to be impressed by cute animals. Maybe lighthouses would fit. I'd buy that many for 10 cents each. The printing quality of the souv. sheets I see is quite good. Perhaps more impressive than much of what the USPS has put out lately. (Sorry US new issue collectors)

Perfect timing. From the upcoming Kelleher sale:

Cat €40,000 with 20 to 100 or more each and they seriously estimate it for $3500-$5000???

I'm thinking more like $1,500 but there may be a reserve (isn't there always).

To be fair, one should not lump all of independent Africa as wallpaper. Many countries go through periods where they hook up with an agent, but then drop them after a few years and have a restrained new issue policy.

While currently IGCP has contract for Ghana and Gambia and Stamperija has the contracts for Guinea, Guinea-Bissau, Sierra Leone, Liberia, Niger, Chad, Central African Republic, Djibouti and Togo, that is only 11 of the 54 independent postal administrations on the continent. 23 other postal administrations that are not controlled by Agents have also issued stamps, while 20 postal administrations have not known to have issued a single stamp so far this year (including South Africa).

So even independent Africa has some wonderful collecting possibilities for those who do not want to collect "wallpaper". Look for the periods when nations were "in between" Agents, or focus on countries that have not used agents, or only flirted with agents briefly - Botswana, Nigeria, Senegal, Namibia or any of the countries of North Africa, from Morocco to Egypt, for example.
