Obama Stamp from Russia – Fact or Mystery

 

image

It is a label and not a real stamp

The recent news published by  Voice of Russia about the issue of Obama stamp by Russia Post created a great interest in philatelic community. The stamp is one of the most searched stamps on Internet by collectors in the last few days. The picture of  stamp and cover shown by some sites ( also given here) are just imaginary stamp and not the real stamp. One can closely observe the picture here. The name of country  is not mentioned any where on the stamp. How does it show that it has been issued by Russian Post ??? No sign of issuing postal authority. If it is just a souvenir item by Russian Post, the name of the issuing authority must be given on the stamp.

If any collector comes across the genuine stamp on Obama by Russian Post may kindly share the image on this blog. A website “ Russia Post “ available in Russian only but on translation gives following news. However this  is not the official website of Russia Post. From all resources it is clear that  Russia has not issued any stamp on Obama.

I shall be thankful if any philatelist or collector from Russia could clarify the doubt about ……. Obama Stamp . Readers are most welcome to give their views on this issue….

The news on a Russian  site

On the anniversary of Barack Obama has released a Russian Post a souvenir set of vignettes and envelopes featuring the U.S. president. Rather than face value for the money gift sets bear the number "50". August 4th Barack Obama will be celebrating its fiftieth birthday.
