DEFINITIVE STAMPS
Virtually nothing has been written on the definitive stamps of Bangladesh and they were/are ignored by most collectors in the country. As a result, much information about them is most likely lost. For some reason the Postal Department did not promote them, print envelopes for them for FDCs, nor more importantly, provide any information on perforation, paper and gum varieties. Such informaion is at the heart of serious collecting throughout the world. Fortunately, a few collectors seriously collected them but what information they had has never been shared with other collectors. Mr. Ataol Quadir is an exception to the rule and assembled a great deal of information on the varieties. He has kindly shared this informaion with me and It is anticipated that this informaion will be presented in this catalog over the coming months.
