Welcome to Peter's page of Czechoslovakian stamps! 
Online since 22. 10. 1998.


Hello! 

My name is Peter Hoffmann and I'm 67-years old.
I live in Trönö, Sweden. It's a small village in eastern Sweden ca 100 km north of Gävle.
My hobbies are downhill and cross-country skiing, bicycle-riding, and of course stamp collecting.

Stamp collecting, a fascinating hobby - as it's already said about philately: "The King of Hobbies and the Hobby of Kings"

I hope you will find something interesting on my site and that you will contact me, by e-mail or via my guestbook.

Exhibition Mauritius 1847 – 1859

As the very first web-site, Phstamps.com proudly presents a wonderful Czech exhibition, Mauritius 1847 – 1859. 
This exhibition will be shown in September 11th to 12th, 2020 at Praga PICCOLA. It´s the largest collector home fair in central and eastern Europe.
Unbelievable that we find so wonderful, so expensive and world class collection in the Czech Republic.

In addition to this exhibition see the Czech collectors latest object, Mauritius POST PAID 1848- VERY EARLY edition. It´s of the second-best printing quality, almost as the very first “earliest edition”. See the item inclusive the attest.
There is less than one hundred of these cancelled stamps, and only 15 postally unused. 
Have a nice time while you explore this wonderful exhibit. :-) (Unfortunately, in Czech language only)

The famous philatelist Mr. Ludvík Pytlícek died - † 13/2-2019

Last Saturday, in february 13 Mr. Ludvík Pytlicek died.
He had been in a coma since December last year, when he was found outside a river, just 300 meters from his house.
Apparently he had a stroke.

This happened a few weeks after he heard that the justice department in Simely decided not to pursue a case against him.
I have no idea what made them drop the case other than Pytlicek being an important man in this town.

A sad ending for him and he certainly took a lot of secrets with him.
He will be discussed, for many reasons, in the stamp world.

Wait a minute! Not only may a collector's stamps be stolen, but…

Some days ago I found on the Internet a new Czech philatelic web site that translates as "My Collecting Diary". (It is in Czech only)

Its owner describes it in this quotation: "This is a personal web site - I'm an amateur collector of postage stamps. I believe this site will be an enjoyable contribution to collectors and enthusiasts and perhaps will grow collections."
