Several Years of Mint Korean Stamps

[darkormex]

I am going to delve into several years worth of mint, Korean stamps that I have accumulated from a standing order subscription from Herrick....most of the envelopes are unopened because I have neglected the collection since 2006.

I am going to go envelope by envelope and post what I come across...I will try to identify each stamp by catalog number and subject so you know what you are looking at.  There are going to be in no particular order.  So here goes...

Scott No. 2315a.,2315b. and 2315c.
Issued for Philately Week

South Korea has had a Philately Week stamp every year since I can remember....Why can't we celebrate stamp collecting like this with an annual stamp, stamps or souvenir sheet?

Nice scans, Darrin! No need to be in a rush -- that's one of the upsides of stamps! Just consider it like opening a little bit of Christmas every now and then. IMHO.

I am considering doing a small write-up on this set in the next newsletter for those wondering what these stamps are all about. For now, the brief explanation is that it is ancient Korean History/mythology...
