I’m back from holiday, and so unfortunately I missed the Football final with this post. Let’s see some motif philately:
Although Uruguay issued a stamp in 1924 in honor of the football gold medal at the Olympics, the sport itself does not appear on the stamp’s image.
The first stamp with a real footbal motif is thus to be found in the Hungarian Sport set, published in 1925.
This stamp series was ahead of its time in showing sport, as it was not common to show such subjects on stamps at that time, so I will post about more of its value soon.
