Europa 2018 Bridges on cover from Moldova

I received beautiful cover from Moldova, with set Europa 2018 Bridges. And this are for me most beautiful Europa stamps in 2018. First stamp is featuring the wooden suspension bridge over the Răut River, and second bridge is designed by Gustave Eiffel, completed in 1877, just three days before the outbreak of the Russo-Turkish war of 1877-1878. Bessarabia was then part of Russian Empire. Stamps are issued on 8.2.2018.


Thank you Mihnea!

Jass cards on cover from Switzerland

Jass, first mentioned in Switzerland in 1796, was originally the name of the highest trump, the Jack, in a family of related games originally spread from the Netherlands during the Late Middle Ages. Today, Jass is the name of the game. The traditional 36-card, Swiss-German-suited pack with which it is played is called Jasskarten. By extension, Jass is often used of any game played in Switzerland with such cards. The Jack of the trump suit is not known as Jass in the contemporary game. Cards are not often represented on stamps, so it was pleasure to see this set issued on 6.9.2018.


Thank you Rosmarie!

Star Trek: The Trouble with Tribbles, with cancellation from Moonbeam, Ontario

"The Trouble with Tribbles" is the fifteenth episode of the second season of the American science fiction television series Star Trek. In the episode, the starship Enterprise arrives at Deep Space Station K7 to guard a consignment of grain bound for Sherman's Planet. On arrival, a trader named Cyrano Jones gives Lt. Uhura a tribble, a small, furry alien lifeform, with dramatic consequences.

This is trailer for this famous comedic episode

This postcard is sent with awesome cancellation from Moonbeam, Ontario. The name "Moonbeam" is attributed to early pioneers who allegedly witnessed flashing lights falling from the sky, which they called "moonbeams". These lights fell down or reflected in a creek that flows west from Strickland to Rémi Lake and was called Moonbeam Creek. These lights could have been Northern Lights that often appear with the moon light.

Another suggestion is that the name came from the passengers on the Transcontinental Railway, who would be traveling for many miles through dark forests and when they came to the natural clearing near Moonbeam would be struck by the brilliance of the moon-lit snow. Nevertheless, there is no documented proof of the exact source of this name.

Thank you Trevor!

Star Trek: Enterprise, with cancellation from Vulcan, Canada

I received another Star Trek postcard from Vulcan, Canada. This one is dedicated to Star Trek: Enterprise, the sixth series in the Star Trek franchise. It served as a prequel to Star Trek: The Original Series. Set in the 22nd century a hundred years before the events of The Original Series, and just prior to the formation of the United Federation of Planets, the series follows the adventures of the Enterprise, Earth's first starship capable of traveling at warp five.

Another beautiful cancellation from Vulcan on prepaid card issued by Canada Post.


Thank you so much Trevor!
