Bosnia and Herzegovina, continue to supply us with nice samples of postal history, and other issues, that are worth to study.
For all periods, we have very good specialist in this material, with great knowledge and information, but now, we have an "modern period" of postage stamps issued, with little or nothing information that come to the public.
One of it, come to the market, at Oct. 27, 1993, (Officially, Bosnia made Independence at March 1, 1992).
It is listed in Scott catalog under number 200-206, with "nice" catalog value of 16.00 US$ per set.
Michel catalog listed in as number 1-7, with same catalog value of 16.00 but, euros.
Ordinary collectors, will search for this set, seven values, imperforated and just fill the album pages - all done, blank space filled!
Not exactly!
Scott mentioned, that it is issued in booklet format of 10 strips of 5 (50 stamps in one booklet, total 7 booklets in set).
Michel catalog go further, and listed it under number MH 0-1/0-7, with information that just 50 000 sets are made.
So, if You want it properly in collection, You will need as originally issued, mean - booklet format, which will be prohibitive expensive to have (50 sets, in question). Scott have no "price tag" for booklets, and Michel have it valued at 450.00 euros per set of 7 booklets.
My personal experience with market and prices go as a lot over catalog value for full set of booklets, which are rarely offered for sale!
Than come another information, where collectors need to know, but in catalog it is not mentioned!
Most available material on interned, is nice set of 7, cut separately, high margins, white glue and paper.
But, at the time, there was rush to produce this "Coat of Arms" issue, and glue was applied to paper by hand!!!!
This is "old way" of doing it with yellow-brown glue on back, with visible traces of brush, not white one we have on most material available on market.
Till now, there are no information that fake exist, but according this information, probably, re-gummed material are plenty on market.
I have a luck, that my set of booklet come with official hand cancel on cover of this booklet, "Glavni Depo Maraka" - Main Storage Facility of Stamps - Sarajevo, so no possible re-gummed or "manipulated" sample come to the option.
Now, Go & Enjoy - Philately!
