Italy - 150 Years of Universal Postal Union (UPU) 2024 #UPU150 #150UPU

A little late but it's never too late ... Italy issued a stamp to commemorate "150th Anniversary of UPU" on 21 November 2024.

Italy Stamp on 150 Years of UPU - 2024

The denomination of the stamp is a B zona 3 50g and is valid for international Oceania 50g. It is probably the most expensive stamps issued for "150 Years of UPU" by any country.

I wonder why the thematic stamps of international interest like UPU150 are often of very high value (4,95€ in this case)! Probably because of the collector value of the stamp! 

What do you think why Italy UPU150 stamp is so expensive?

The LIONS acronym also stands for Liberty, Intelligence, Our Nations' Safety.

In 2017, Lions Clubs International celebrated 100 years of the club with the title "Lions Clubs Centennial" or "Lions Clubs Centenary".  Lions and Leos from around the world participated in special initiatives, programs and events to celebrate a century of serving humanity. It was truly a celebration unlike any the world has ever seen.

From philatelic point of view, many countries issued special commemorative stamps to mark the occasion of Lions Club Centenary. While most of these stamps were issued in 2017, Sri Lanka mis-timed the issue in December 2016, whereas India & Panama joined in the race as late comers in 2018 as well.
