A large specialized group of
S4 "Gymnastics by Radio" stamps
The S4 Gymnastics stamps are believed to be mainly from the second printing / official reprint issue.
Two stamps have been identified and marked as first-printing examples. The collector's small identification markers are shown in the scan.
The S4 group is not offered as a complete set of 40 different stamps. It contains numerous different exercises, positions and colours.
Please note:
Many early PRC issues exist as original printings and
official later reprints.
Except for the two examples specifically identified by the
previous collector, no guarantee is made that other stamps
in this collection are first printings.
Individual catalogue numbers, printings and varieties have not been expertized. The collection is offered exactly as shown for specialist examination.
Condition:
Overall good to very good condition.
Please examine the scans for the exact condition
of every individual stamp.
An attractive study collection for collectors of early People's Republic of China, PRC commemoratives, S-series issues and S4 Radio Gymnastics stamps.
Please examine the high-resolution scans carefully.
