Greta Garbo: Sweden: Stamp Issues

All items are VF and fresh.

I also have a very extensive stock of all other Swedish stamps and first day covers, as well as all other types of Swedish philatelic items. Please send your want list or describe your interests.

Be sure to see the very scarce and little-known Greta Garbo postal cards on the next page and the United States issues on another page in this section.

If you are aware of any Swedish Greta Garbo items not on the website, please let me know. (I am interested in purchasing any items that I do not have.)

Note: The Swedish souvenir sheet of four portrait-design perforated 4-side stamps was a fast sell-out and was not included in post office subscriptions. Most collectors outside of Sweden seemed not to have known about it until it was too late. It will be included in most albums. As a result, demand from individual collectors (not speculation) has very quickly consumed any small dealer stocks that did exist. The price, including the price you see here, is subject to increase at any moment. If you have extra examples, I am interested in buying.

Greta Garbo 2005 souvenir sheet FDC. Creases in right-side selvage.

VF: Privately made FDC of the souvenir sheet containing 4-side perforated stamps. No official FDC was issued for the s/s or stamps from it. Extremely few private FDCs seem to have been made; they will likely become modern rarities. This example has a couple small creases in the right-side selvage from the application of the s/s to the envelope -- however, the four used stamps are perfectly VF and sell for $140 ($35 each), thus this price is very low!
