Russia - 2018 & 2020 issue - booklet format:

Marx, Engels and Lenin issue:

In 2018, Russia made one issue for
"The 200th Anniversary of the Birth of Karl Marx, (1818-1883)"
with one interesting design, little bit, I can call it "robust", but still
very attractive. Bust of politicians Karl Marx. 
This issue "hit" catalog in very low catalog value of 0.55 US$ per single stamp (Michel catalog number 2556, Stampworld 2587), and on eBay, price are little bit more of near 2.00 US$.



As usually, it is made in sheet of 12, which reach catalog Michel value to 40.00 euro per one, but on same eBay You can find it for around 11.00 US$ postage not included.
FDC is another story, for this issue, and nice design of cover come to very affordable catalog Michel price of 6.00 euro, more affordable of 3.00-4.00 US$ on eBay, but postage cost will "kill the price"!


Than, come 2020 year, with additional issue to this one, as to complete all three politicians that made history and changed our life: 

The 100th Anniversary of the Birth of Friedrich Engels, 1820–1895
and
The 150th Anniversary of the Birth of Vladimir Lenin, 1870-1924

This two issues come in same design as first, and printed quantity are around 150 000 samples, not big quantity for size of Russia and collectors around globe.

So, as market go active and request for this issue was really good, Russia Post made another item to put all three issue together, and that was, what I call to this post:
"Stamp Must Have"
it come with one booklet format with all three issue in imperforated option inside!!!!

Booklet format:


All three issues in one well made booklet, pages in English and Russian language explaining about each person life. 
Great item, that I can call "education for our future generation", that I will keep hidden deep in my album!


Marx


Engels


and Lenin

As I mentioned, it is made in imperforated sheet format, medium size for booklet, full in this red color of revolution!

Quantity are very low, but face price on from Russian Post go for around 11.00 US$, Michel catalog update are high, more or around 50.00 euro per one, and as it is printed in just 3800 booklets, probability that too many collectors will be left without one are big.
eBay offering still have it affordable, from 26.00-36.00 US$ per one (postage not included), so now is time to react!
