Victor: Russian and WWll stamps and coins collector

I'm collecting and selling/trading stamps for many years.  My favorite stamps now are Russia 30s-50s, Space, British and Spain colonies, France and Spain Art stamps, Germany Third Reich 1933-1945.

I moved from Moscow, Russia to Monterey, California in 1988 with my large collection of Russian Space stamps and covers, and found it was difficult to sell or buy stamps here in that small of a city.  In Moscow, for 20 years, I was selling stamps at famous Russian collector’s places like Glavpochtampt, Kuznetsky Most (in my childhood), Kotly, Shevchenko, Volgina, Gorky Park, Izmailovo and Gorky Club.  During Soviet time stamps' black market was the only semi legal place to make good money and explore your business skills. That's where I met and became friends with some famous Russian collectors like Evgrafov, Blekhman, Rozov and Livshits. In Russia I made good money mainly selling topical sets of stamps from Paraguay and Arab sheikhdoms as well as British colonies that were extremely popular during those days. My selling partners were known in Moscow by they fanny nicknames like Balamut, Marathon, Rubik brothers, Krysa, Gnida, Pinochet, Pavlick (Morozov), Shustrik, Odessit, Akula.  I know that many Russian collectors and dealers moved to the USA and will recognize me reading this page.  I was a friend of many hundreds of them and like to say to them:  "Hello and good luck in the new land!”    Now, using eBay, I have a lot of fun with stamps.  It's a great opportunity for me to find stamps that I only could dream of back in Russia, and sell some for a good price.

Strange way to collect stamps.

In the former Soviet Union stamp’s black markets were everywhere, in each city and town. I was coming daily after work to the Moscow stamps black market that was located near a government stamp store. There you can buy and sell stamps and also chat with stamp buddies about news on the stamp market. One guy there, named Vasia, had a very strange stamp habit. He was buying any available stamps including any junk stamps for only one price – 2 stamps for 1 kopeck (equivalent to 1 cent in those times). During the Soviet times it was a requirement for everyone to have a job with only excuse for handicapped people. Vasia was handicapped (some problem with his feet) on a small pension and he could spent all days looking for stamps. Every day some boy or adult will com to the market with a childhood stamp album, trying to sell stamps for a good price and if nobody will buy the stamps they will offer them to Vasia for his ridicules price. Vasia told the other dealers that were very curios about what is he doing with such junk stamps that he started collecting about 10 years ago, when he put a very large carton box from a TV set in his room and is trying to make it fool of stamps. In 10 years of collecting the box is still half empty. He said that he never separated stamps that he put in the box. Many years later, when Vasia was in his 70s, he announced that the box is completed and he is going to sell it. Everybody knew what kind of junk was it and didn’t even go to see it. But one smart stamp’s dealer decided to buy it. Vasia asked several thousand Rubles for it and after heavy negotiation sold it. The dealer told later that there were some million stamps in the box and some of them are very rare. He said he was very lucky to buy it and had a lot of fun to go through them.
