Value For Collectors
The value of these stamps to collectors is considerable, especially if they are in perfect condition and have rarities. Collectors appreciate not only the artistic value of these stamps, but also the historical significance they have as the first Czechoslovak postage stamps. Rare perforations, printing errors and other variations can increase the value of these stamps to significant amounts.
Hradčany is not only a piece of history, but also an example of the artistic mastery of Alfons Mucha. These stamps remind us of times past and future and are a symbol of the newly established state. For collectors and history lovers, Hradčany is a gem among postage stamps.
