Czechoslovakia year 1964 Tokyo Summer Olympics stamps MSS MNH / Used ? Czechoslovakia – 1964 Tokyo Olympic Stamps Issue context: Czechoslovakia issued a commemorative set of stamps for the XVIII. Summer Olympic Games in Tokyo (October 10–24, 1964). These are official postage stamps celebrating the event. Typical set composition: The issue generally consists of a set of 6 stamps, each showing different Olympic sports themes (e.g., cycling, football, swimming, etc.). In standard philatelic catalogues, these are often listed with Scott/Michel/Yvert catalog numbers for identification. Catalog listings (examples): Some examples of the individual stamps include: 60 h denomination — often shows a sports theme (e.g., cycling). 80 h denomination — another sport design in the same series. ? Minisheet / Sheetlet (MSS) There isn’t strong evidence in major stamp catalog listings that Czechoslovakia issued a commemorative minisheet or souvenir sheet for the Tokyo 1964 Olympics (a minisheet being a small group of stamps printed together with decorative margins). Most references show individual stamps or complete sets, but not a distinct MSS souvenir sheet from the Czechoslovak postal authority in that year. That suggests either:✓ No official Olympic minisheet was issued by Czechoslovakia in 1964, or✓ If one exists, it is very rare/not widely catalogued in mainstream stamp catalogues. ? How They’re Catalogued In stamp catalogs, these Olympic issues are often under the heading like “Summer Olympic Games 1964 – Tokyo” with catalog numbers for each stamp. Sets are typically sold as 6-stamp sets and can be found used (cancelled) or MNH/MUH depending on condition.
