This is obviously a Bulgarian stamp of a gentleman who lived among us for 58 years. The stamp has a vivid piece of cancellation on the lower left corner and is worth 8. However, the question remains, who is this dude? I can find nothing on he name, which in and of itself is confusing, Bakus Anpuao6. Is that even a name?
I guess this is the day to post stamps that are unidentifiable to me. Her is another dude. Notice the dates of 1835 to 1985. Call me naive, but I don't think this guy lived to be 150 years old. So, in my morning collection of mystery dudes and stamps, this mustache guy is my second.
And a third.....this gent seemed to live here in the 20th centrury from 1935-1967. Do you suppose he died of a heart attack when Petrocelli caught the pop up to end the '67 season catapulting the "Cardiac kids" to the 1967 World Series with St.Louis? The same '67 World Series when my mother took care of Red Sox pitcher Dave Morehead's new baby when he and his wife had to travel to St. Louis? Probably not.
While foreign stamps can be very, very interesting, they can be also be very, very frustrating to learn the etiology...and of all the things said about me in 60 years, I am quite sure nobody referred to me as a great researcher or foreign language stamps. I am guessing that these stamps will remain a mystery to me forever. However, a belated kudo to each of these dudes for earning their place in history.
