Freddie Mercury's stamps album is in Prague

The organizers of the Collector Trade Fair that starts today at the Prague Exhibition Ground can be proud of many collections that visitors may see at the fair. One of them is also an album full of stamps owned by the legendary singer of the Queen Freddie Mercury.

The album in a blue cover has been borrowed from the British Post Museum in London. It will be displayed in the Czech Republic for the first time on the occasion of the trade fair. The value of the album is estimated to eight thousand pounds.

The album was bought by the British Post Museum from Freddie Mercury’s estate in 1993. Freddie Mercury collected the stamps during his stay in Zanzibar when he was still a child. Even though there are not so many stamps of great value, it contains stamps from the former Czechoslovakia.
