Greta Garbo: Sweden: Postal Stationery  
All items are VF and fresh unless otherwise described. These postal cards are extremely scarce. Though the basic versions of them are listed (from time to time) by the Facit Catalog, most collectors (even in Sweden) are not aware of them, to say nothing of ever having seen them.

I also have a very extensive stock of all other Swedish postal stationery, as well as stamps all other types of Swedish philatelic items. Please send your want list or a description of your interests.
Be sure to see the Greta Garbo stamp issues on the previous page and the United States issues on another page in this section.

If you are aware of any Swedish Greta Garbo items not on the website, please let me know. (I am interested in purchasing any items that I do not have.)

Postal Card Facit #89a 1995 Motorcycle Riders. [Scene from Anglagard (House of Angels) Swedish movie; this design was used on the 1995 Film stamp Scott #2141]. The picture side includes two stamp designs from the 1981 Film souvenir sheet (Scott #1386): Greta Garbo in Gösta Berlings Saga and a scene from Intermezzo. The other two designs are from the 1995 Films booklet: Scott #2141 and #2143 The Apple War. Only 2000 of these cards were printed! Extremely scarce! As of 1/1/2006, I have never seen any cards of this issue offered for sale. Mint VF.

Though supposedly issued on 7 October, I have never seen a cancel earlier than 12 October and I believe it to be the actual FD cancellation. VF.

Postal Card Facit #89b 1995 Greta Garbo in Gösta Berlings Saga. Without "PORT PAYÉ" handstamp. The indicia is from the 1981 souvenir sheet, Scott #1386. The picture side includes two stamp designs from the 1981 Film souvenir sheet (Scott #1386): same as the indicia and a scene from Intermezzo. The other two designs are from the 1995 Films booklet: Scott #2141 Anglagard (House of Angels) and #2143 The Apple War. These cards were valid for domestic postage (the PORTO BETALT [postage paid] in the indicia). However, as the cards were intended to also be valid for international usage, some were handstamped PORT PAYÉ (normally in violet, but black also exists) to comply with UPU regulations. Only 6000 "exhibition invitation" cards were printed and the vast majority were immediately mailed to the members and guests of the Postal Museum to announce the exhibition. I doubt that more than a few hundred, if that many, unmailed (i.e. mint or FD canceled) remain in existence. Furthermore, perhaps half the remaining cards were handstamped PORT PAYÉ. Extremely scarce in any form! As of 1/1/2006, I have never seen any cards of this issue offered for sale. Mint VF.

Though the card was supposedly issued 21 September (presumably the date mailed to the Museum membership), I have never seen a cancel earlier than 12 October [the post office typically did/does not postmark mailings that use a "porto betalt" indicia] and thus I believe the 12 October cancellation to effectively be the first day cancellation. I would be surprised if more than 100 of these canceled cards ever existed. VF.

The handstamping was done by the office and shop staff at the Postal Museum; just government employees, not "regular" postal staff or philatelists, thus they may not have realized the implication of the handstamp being inverted. RARE! Mint VF.
