Some of my favorite covers in our collection.

I'm listing and writing about these covers in no particular order. These covers are from my previous collection when I started collecting in the 90"s and also from my wife's grandparents collection. Some are covers aquired after the two collections merged.
This first cover is from Calliope's collection and is a cover canceled at the 1936 Olympics. This was the Oylimpics in Berlin and opened officially by Chancellor Adolf Hitler.

Greek Airmail Stamps of 1935

Here are my current used copies from this set. I will hope to get better copies in time but I’m posting these just to show the fine artwork of the engravings. I really enjoy this set and five of the stamps of this stamp were re-engraved and issued from 1937-39. Click on Images to Enlarge.

Our First Album of Stamps.

We received our first album of our YaYa's stamps on April 29, 2009. This collection was compiled by several members of the family in Greece but we have chosen to make it the name sake of Calliope Kalvourides, as she was the last active collector in the family to maintain and expand the collection. Calliope Kalvourides slept in the Lord in the year 2004.
