I am selling a set of two vintage commemorative stamps from China, "China Women's Volleyball Team Wins the 3rd World Cup." Catalog Number: J.76 (complete set of 2) Issue Date: December 21, 1981 Issuing Authority: Ministry of Posts and Telecommunications of the People's Republic of China On November 16, 1981, at the 3rd Women's Volleyball World Cup held in Japan, the Chinese women's volleyball team won all 7 matches, defeating strong teams from various countries and paving the way for their five consecutive victories. In the same tournament, the Japanese women's team took second place, and the Soviet women's team took third. On December 21, 1981, to commemorate the historic achievement of the Chinese women's volleyball team, the Ministry of Posts and Telecommunications of the People's Republic of China issued commemorative stamps featuring the "China Women's Volleyball Team Wins the 3rd World Cup." The design name of Stamp 1 (left) is "For the Glory of the Nation." The vibrant five-star red flag raised in the upper right corner and the prelude to the "March of the Volunteers" in the background. The atmosphere of the Osaka Prefectural Gymnasium is conveyed through the cheering spectators. Above the World Cup held by the women's volleyball team, a statue of a girl holding a flower crown is intricately carved, and her powerful forward posture shows courage. The "long ears" with wings on the sides and the relief decorations give a sense of momentum and vitality, a design that combines solemnity and originality within its liveliness. The design name of Stamp 2 (right) is "Tenacious Fight." The background of the screen is a pale, calm color, highlighting the moment when the players concentrate their strength and put all their effort into a single blow. That moment of fierce battle expresses the indomitable fighting spirit of the Chinese women's volleyball team players. This stamp has high value as a work commemorating a historic achievement and is very attractive for collection and viewing. These are actually used vintage stamps, and Stamp 2 (right) has some minor damage, but it is not noticeable and does not interfere with viewing or collection. Overall, it is considered to be in good condition as a used vintage item. Please check the images for details. No returns or exchanges. Shipping costs will be covered by me.
