Greetings guys!

I want to start a philatelic collection containing postage stamps, Maximum Cards, postmarks, postal cards, FDCs, postal stationery, covers, and other philatelic items necessarily containing face values of 1 million or higher denominations (items from inflationary times).

In which category does this type of philatelic collection fit better according to the Fédération Internationale de Philatélie (FIP) rules and guidelines? Traditional philately? Thematic philately? Postal history? Other?

Thank you in advance!

Cheers!

Edit: When I wrote "FIP rules and guidelines" I mean: "General Regulation of the FIP for exhibitions/exhibitors" and related stuff...

There are guidelines for stamp collecting? I'd call this " thematic".

Your going to collect and display the covers of three countries that I know of .
These are Hungary ,with the highest value face value stamp, then Germany which is the easists to collect because it has been reserch the most and easy to find material . The last one is one of the African countries and the most recent inflation issuer of stamps .It is Zambia or Zimbabwe or one of those dirt bag countries .

By the way , I don't have much to say about the FIP ORGANIZATION that I can say here . They try to set up as the Mafia Organization and try to tax stamp issueing countries at stamp shows and control what stamp dealers can sell . So if you say anything nice about them, then be ready for me to respond

Oh ! by the way welcome to the chat board ,You will find many members here to help you find and research material as you build your exhibit /collection .

Do you really want to go back and play your greatest hits from this forum Bart? No, I didn't think so. Stop clutching your pearls.

@GeoffHa

In fact, when I wrote "FIP rules and guidelines" I really mean: "General Regulation of the FIP for exhibitions/exhibitors" and related stuff...

Nice and interesting cover that you have from the hyperinflation in Weimar Republic. I hope (some day) to find some cover like that "filled" with lots of "50 milliarden" stamps on it.

In your opinion. Others see you as being heavily against certain groups based upon race.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dirtbag_left

Also, how can a list of geographic places be racist when geography involves, dirt, rock, water and no people:






Interestingly those countries issue stamps which some folks collect. My question is now, who gets to determine if collecting a particular country, current or past, is the correct (what ever that means) thing to do?


Edit: Swapped f for a g.

You have no clue as to who I am. If you did, you would not have posted that nonsense about me. Since ICE are just a criminal organization kidnapping people to meet a quota, and are racist themselves, I rest my case. The day will come when they are all up on charges.
